The safety and security of students and faculty members must always rank as a top concern for educational organizations, but with national school enrollment numbers steadily increasing, security teams are frequently turning towards intelligent technology to best protect both people and property.
Schools and educational...
Governments and local authorities all around the world are turning to technology to help navigate the resource and spatial constraints associated with a global population that’s recently surpassed 8 billion, and with urban development steadily rising, today around 56% of people live and work...
There have been nearly 300,000 written contributions for 5G UE-related technologies.
Three big network vendors (Huawei, Ericsson, and Nokia) have been leading in both the number of contributions and approved contributions for 5G technologies to The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). This is particularly the...
Huawei kicked off MWC 2023 with their Green ICT Summit. It was a series of presentations showing how they and their partner stakeholders are innovating to bring the power of ICT to help enterprise not only improve their own telecommunications environmental impact but also...
Many companies, including telecom operators, have been voluntarily producing annualenvironmental, social and governance (ESG) reports based on various standards for some time. The Global Sustainability Standards Board (GSSB) Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) largely guides ESG reporting, with other metrics and standards added over time....
Network slicing enables differentiated services
Communication service providers (CSPs) know that nothing is predictable with networktraffic. The changing nature of network patterns is a challenge when providing thealways-on services that discerning clients demand. To address these challenges, 5G network slicing combines the coverage of large, publicnetworks with the...
The convergence of wireless and wireline networks will provide a consistent 5G experience no matter how consumers are connected, delivering on the technology’s many promises – from better and differentiated Quality of Experience (QoE) to advances in the IoT and AI fields. In 2023,...
The telecom industry is entering a period of rapid growth and convergence, as technological advancements make it easier for people to communicate with each other on multiple different platforms. As companies like AT&T and Verizon continue to expand their offerings in order to meet...
Rampant malicious activity in cyberspace hurts individuals, companies, and government agencies, while threatening US national security. The expected release of a new National Cybersecurity Strategy by the Biden Administration is an occasion for us to learn lessons from past efforts to reduce cyber risk,...
We’ve all heard the phrase, “it takes two to tango;" the same can be applied to network-based ecosystems
Communication service providers (CSPs) have invested over $100 billion in their 5G networks and are looking for a return on that investment. The growth of traditional communication...
We’re now firmly in the world of 5G. Well before the rapidly growing deployments of 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) networks, the technology’s potential has been hyped up as the key to delivering Industry 4.0 and innovative new services based on edge cloud, Internet of Things...
Back in 1868, George Boole’s wife paraphrased his thoughts on the capabilities of machines:
Between them they have conclusively proved, by unanswerable logic of facts, that calculation and reasoning, like weaving and plowing, are work, not for human souls, but for clever combinations of iron...
From AI-capable endpoint devices to autonomous systems, IoT developers are building a diverse ecosystem of products and services, only set to grow. The number of IoT connected devices worldwide is projected to reach over 15 billion in 2023. MicKinsey estimates its market value will...
For mobile operators, there’s a lot to like about network slicing. For starters, it enables their 5G networks to support a much more comprehensive range of use cases and customer types, which opens the door for more revenue opportunities.
These opportunities couldn’t come at a...
