Remote learning has been transforming the landscape of education, but lack of access to technology and the Internet make this difficult for many Americans. According to NCES, 9 million schoolchildren face difficulty in online learning, and 14% of children ages 3-18 don't have Internet...
Standalone 5G represents a new era of data capacity, localized compute and bespoke services. But building a completely new network while maintaining focus on existing operations is a challenging and potentially risky process.
As operators scale out 5G coverage in 2020, what's the technological and...
Connectivity for large venues is a consummate challenge only exacerbated by growth in data consumption and evolution in cellular and Wi-Fi technologies.
When considering a venue investment, 5G and Wi-Fi 6 isn't an "or" consideration, rather an "and" scenario where both flavors to high-capacity connectivity...
At the outer edge of the technological wave of 5G will be the Internet of Things (IoT); IoT promises a new level of connectivity in all manner of devices and products from appliances to vehicles to smart homes and more. The number of such...
Prominent industry leaders Inseego (device/endpoint), Qualcomm (chip) and Cisco (infrastructure) weigh in on the impact of rapidly evolving government policy – including recent actions such as U.S presidential orders tied to foreign telco entity licensing and the call for the “rip and replace” of...
5G technology has introduced some exciting possibilities for in-building functions. The “smart” buildings and manufacturing facilities of tomorrow will include new functions such as IoT, factory automation, machine learning devices, and cloud compute applications. To handle these new features, network architectures will change, frequency...
5G offers nearly limitless potential with faster speeds and greater efficiency. But how can those opportunities be further optimized through AI? Building AI capabilities have become foundational in the drive toward network operation automation.
Today’s telecom networks operate on outdated systems that make it difficult...
A single connectivity technology will suffice for certain IoT applications, but the real magic is being realised when two or more complementary IoT technologies combine. Increasingly, solution providers are looking to make multi-mode connectivity a springboard for more complex and ambitious IoT solutions.
