Addressing The Vulnerabilities Of Smart Commercial Buildings

While advancing technologies are enhancing and easing our way of living in almost every industry, one of the transitions is gaining traction in real estate, namely smart estate management. Per a MarketsandMarkets report, in 2021, the global smart building market valuation reached $72.6 billion and is likely to grow at a CAGR of around 10.9% and go beyond $121.6 billion by 2026. The elevation in these figures depends on various factors, like increasing energy consumption and costs and innovation in technologies like IoT and PoE.

Edge Computing Surge: 2024 Forecasts & Implications

A July 2023 report by Statista predicts the number of connected devices will escalate to 17.08 billion in 2024,  from 15.14 billion in 2023. This digital expansion is set to generate a colossal volume of data, with a forecasted 157 zettabytes in 2024.  According to an IDC report, 20% of this data will be created at the edge – a statistic that underscores the growing significance of edge computing.

Artificial intelligence needs glass

With large language models that power systems like ChatGPT increasing in popularity – the AI text-generating website saw 1.6 billion monthly visits in July 2023 – the strain is on data centers to keep up with demand.
Data centers, a.k.a. the “brains” of the internet that live in large warehouses with rows of servers, essentially relay all our data and compute our every request. Now, AI is turbocharging that data usage, and data centers are expanding to meet the demand.

Quantum Leap: Tracking the Rise of Turbocharged Networks Amid AI Boom

As new technologies place increased demand on data centers, companies are experimenting with a new generation of superfast fiber-optic networks. Higher security, faster speeds, and more capacity are all going to be key targets for the data center industry as it adjusts to the demands of generative AI and increased data consumption, and quantum networks have the potential to help the industry meet those targets.
