Ericsson’s engineers have achieved delivery rates of 4.3 Gbps – i.e. the fastest 5G speed to date — using a new combination of Ericsson Radio System solutions and 8CC software aggregating 800MHz of millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum band, the landmark data rate was achieved during interoperability testing using commercial solutions and serves to extended the capabilities of 5G, contends Ericsson.
Digital transformation, the “internet of things” and our high-speed future all rely on the scalability of the infrastructure behind them. Here are three quick tips for network providers to meet the need for speed and streamline your high-speed migration with agile data center installation: Design for lower loss budgets; streamline documentation; and ensure performance.
U.S. electrical contractors are not the only ones facing a labor shortage. Others around the globe are experiencing similar challenges. Here, trade groups in several countries shared how they are recruiting and training more people.
The next generation of wireless – 5G, CBRS, Wi-Fi 6 and BLE – is on the horizon. Increased speeds, low latency, and reduced congestion on mobile networks will revolutionize the way we use an ever-increasing number of IoT devices and design in-building communication infrastructures. 5G and CBRS are technologies providing cellular service, WI-FI 6 is a short-range wireless access technology, and BLE is a wireless personal area network designed especially for short-range communication – all technologies are complementary and will each support different use cases in the built environment. This webinar will provide an overview of the different technologies and discuss how they will work together to provide enhanced mobility, capacity and data rates. First generation use cases in the real estate industry will be presented.
In a perfect world, all network devices would be located within the standard 100-meter run length, But design and budget constraints don’t always allow for that, and there are instances when data transmission does need to exceed 100 meters. Lately, there has been quite a bit of attention surrounding cable products that claim to support data and Power over Ethernet (PoE) to distances far beyond the standard length. Do they merit the attention, and do they represent good network design practices?
The standardization that 5G brings is good for interoperability, but if implemented poorly, presents a greater cyber risk to future cities. 5G will replace not just legacy cellular standards, but a multitude of other wireless and wired communication standards and therefore its scope will cover personal use, business operations, transportation and smart city infrastructure. This, together with its support for dense IoT networks – which could potentially have over 1 million devices per square kilometre – means an exponential increase in the attack surface and exposure to cyber attacks on an unprecedented scale.
Edge provides a huge opportunity to host many use cases on one infrastructure, manageable from a single pane of glass. Getting close to end-users not only allows the operator to tap directly into the new revenue streams for ultra-low latency/ultra-reliable services, but also to provide “edge-as-a-service,” and other infrastructure-as-a-service and hosting services to other enterprises.
The following are five technology and market trends in the areas of compute, storage, and network to watch in 2020: The evolution of server architecture; software defined data centers; cloud consolidation; the emergence of edge computing; and advances in server network connectivity.
5G networks are being penciled into big business IT plans, given their guarantee of low latency, information transfer speeds that can be as much as 100 times quicker than 4G networks and anticipated capacity to deal with IoT devices. What should CEOs and key IT advisors do to prepare?
The shift from simple phone banks to omnichannel contact centers involves the integration of multiple technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT) and cloud computing. The widespread deployment of 5G networks will also enhance the experience of contact center customers, who increasingly expect answers on demand. These technologies will necessarily increase the need for privacy and security in 2020.
