> Critical systems should be able to handle connection loss
When the whole point of the critical system is to connect things wirelessly... your point makes little sense. There are backups, of course, but why would you go out of your way to make things worse when there's no fix and people already know it's an issue? What about that is tempting? It's a fundamental technological limitation - there is no jam proof wireless communication system.
- Freak_NL 7y agoThings don't have to be jam-proof, but the processes that depend on them should have a sensible failure mode. If anyone with a small backpack filled with fairly cheap jamming equipment can disrupt hundreds of systems in a busy area, then society (emergency services in particular) should know how this disruption can be prevented or mitigated, and also what the cost of such disruption would be (i.e., is it merely economical, or are human lives at stake?). Preferably before we become too dependant on such technology.
