Software-Defined Networking (SDN), which is used in Industrial Internet of Things, uses a controller as its "network brain" located at the control plane. This uniquely distinguishes it from the traditional networking paradigms because it provides a global view of the entire network. In SDN, the controller can become a single point of failure, which may cause the whole network service to be compromised.

Variable ferroelectric delay line technology has been utilized to implement a proof-of-concept, continuous scanning, ferroelectric integrated phased array antenna system. S21 phase shifts of up to 157 degrees have been achieved from the phase shifter itself via analogous variation of a DC bias. When integrated into a phased array, beam scanning of at least +/-12 degrees is achieved prior to any optimization.
