It seems like you can have the same conversation about Industry 4.0 whether AI is presented as the big kahuna in the tech-mix or hardly mentioned at all, like the elephant in the room. This conversation with Cisco, taped a couple of months ago...
Dell Technologies has expanded its edge partner ecosystem with Hyundai AutoEver, a factory IT/OT integration tool from car maker Hyundai, and Intel’s OpenVINO developer toolbox, commonly used for edge AI applications. The latter is now part of its NativeEdge Blueprint catalogue of edge design...

Funny thing about telecoms, and telcos specifically, so often derided in the Industry 4.0 market for not ‘getting’ enterprise, is that they have listened and changed, arguably, and are selling...
There was a period, a couple of years ago, when the telecoms ecosystem talked about ‘priming’ the supply of private 5G networks into enterprises. It was presented as a winner-takes-all game, to an extent, and mobile operators, in particular, said they expected to command...
Hardly a surprise, but German industrial technology juggernaut Siemens has said it will go big on AI at Hannover Messe next week. In truth, quite how big is unclear, but it has stuck out a press notice with AI in the headline, and details...
Analysys Mason predicts a surge in private 5G networks from just 4,000 in 2022, to 60,000 by 2028, driven by the demand for higher bandwidth in applications like VR, AI and security.
However, as with any endeavour aiming for rapid progress, the journey often encounters...

Or three lies it has told, and is being forced to take back.
Ask Future Technologies – which appears, directly or indirectly, to have its fingerprints across every-other big private 5G deployment in the US – about the hype in the market, and it will...
As we heard last week, good 5G is bad 5G without careful network design – especially with private 5G in complex enterprise venues. This was the line from Nazim Choudhury, director of market development at Canada-based iBwave Solutions, which sells design software for all...
You can have the best 5G network in the world, and make it into the worst; or, at least, you can render it as completely ordinary without much effort, and maybe totally useless. This is the warning from Nazim Choudhury, director of market development...
