From January 7-10, 2025, attendees at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas can experience how Lifehive is revolutionizing beekeeping with its innovative, chemical-free solution for combating Varroa mites and viruses. By protecting honey bees, which pollinate one-third of the world's food supply, Lifehive supports healthy ecosystems and sustainable agriculture. Join us for live demonstrations at CES Unveiled on January 5th at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and throughout the event at the swisstech Pavilion (Venetian Expo, Hall G, Booth 61033).Lifehive: Protecting Bees with Smart Heat TechnologyHoney bees are essential to our environment and food supply – but Varroa mites are one of their biggest threats worldwide, contributing to colony collapse and declining bee populations. Lifehive is committed to providing a natural solution to protect these vital pollinators with a solution that is both effective and environmentally friendly.By protecting bee colonies, Lifehive contributes to the preservation of biodiversity and the stability of food production systems globally. The Lifehive system features a patented heating element integrated directly into brood frames. This technology heats the beehive to 42°C (108°F) for 3-hour intervals, effectively eliminating Varroa mites and viruses without harming the brood. An intelligent algorithm ensures treatments are applied under optimal brood conditions, preventing reinfestation and maintaining colony health.

VicOne, an automotive cybersecurity solutions leader, today announced its xCarbon demonstration at CES 2025 with MediaTek, to highlight telematics capabilities for high-performance, accurate communications and information-gathering within and beyond vehicles.Telematics encompasses telecommunications, vehicular technologies (road transport, road safety, etc.), electrical engineering (sensors, instrumentation, wireless communications, etc.), and computer science (multimedia, Internet, etc.) Therefore, security protection software equipped with telematics can maximize the prevention of cyber threats and safeguard the safety of vehicles on the move.VicOne's xCarbon is a lightweight, modularized, and configurable software-based intrusion detection or prevention system (IDS/IPS) that will secure automotive telematics for all such communications. With its flexible advantages, xCarbon effectively detects malicious system activities, network threats, and controller area network (CAN) anomalies with minimal usage of the central processing unit (CPU) and memory.MediaTek and VicOne at CES 2025 are showcasing how their solutions work together to successfully subvert an array of threats:Malicious web access in which sensitive information could be stolen Shellshock attacks in which harmful commands could be triggered remotely Unknown app execution which could lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, and degraded system performance"Quick, reliable, and effective data and voice transmissions in the unfolding age of SDVs (software-defined vehicles) demand a superior level of reliable processing power to react to changing conditions and directions, and MediaTek is uncommonly well-positioned to deliver the premium, value-based products for fully connected vehicles and all v2x (vehicle-to-everything) communications," said Max Cheng, chief executive officer of VicOne. "We are excited to showcase together with MediaTek, the worldwide leading chipset company, on how our solutions enabled by AI (artificial intelligence) bring state-of-the-art cybersecurity to the telematics applications, conveying peace of mind to automakers and their suppliers to adopt increasingly advanced services while maintaining safety, data security and regulatory compliance."The world's automobiles are growing steadily more complex and vulnerable to cyberthreats in the adoption of more connectivity, AI, automated driving systems (ADS), and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Cyberattacks in the space are growing more prevalent and intricate, with the automotive manufacturing supply chain emerging as a prime target of criminals.Founded and singularly focused on spearheading innovation in vehicle cybersecurity, VicOne, the market leader in automotive cybersecurity, provides the most advanced and comprehensive solutions to the automotive industry and galvanizes collective expertise from the sector's broadest cast of best-of-breed partners. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers trust VicOne's purpose-built solutions to stay ahead of evolving threats and safeguard vehicles, drivers, and sensitive data.
