Remote power supply, that is, the remote transmission of energy to electronic circuits and devices via fiber optics, provides solutions to a wide range of problems. Its main application is in supplying power to sensors and actuators (and their associated electronics) in so-called "exclusion zones." An exclusion zone is one in which the conventional use of electrical energy is not possible due to a hostile environment, such as an explosive atmosphere, an intense electromagnetic environment, or the unavailability of electrical power at the location where it is needed.

Nokia and Rakuten Mobile, Inc. have announced that the two companies have demonstrated the first live transmission of 1 Tb/s per channel over Rakuten Mobile’s commercial dense wavelength division multiplexer (DWDM) network, representing a 500% speed increase over Rakuten Mobile’s existing 200 Gb/s network. The test took place over two days in January 2022 and connected data centers located 135 km apart in the Kanto region of Japan.

According to the results of a global survey conducted by Molex, which examines the pace of innovation accelerating the development of next-generation vehicle architectures and driving experiences, participants expressed optimism about the increasing adoption of digital technologies, but also identified difficult challenges in the technology, automotive sector, and ecosystem that must be overcome to meet the demands of vehicles equipped with software, storage, connectivity, and computing capabilities: essentially, a powerful “data center on wheels.”

OFS and Viavi Solutions Inc. have announced a collaboration on the first test- and measurement-focused amplifier based on OFS's new bismuth-doped fiber. The OFS fiber is the first to be produced in sufficient volumes to meet the growing demand for 400 GbE and 800 GbE test applications worldwide.

Radar miniaturization is one of the key trends identified by IDTechEx in "Automotive Radar 2022-2042." Several factors contribute to this, such as the shift from 24 GHz to 77 GHz, which reduces antenna size. Another is the transition from SiGe-BiCMOS to Si-CMOS transceivers, which reduces the number of discrete computational components and shrinks the circuit board. IDTechEx is exploring just how small this miniaturization can become.

Keysight Technologies, Inc., in collaboration with Telefónica , has announced   that it has achieved the first validation of an xHaul transport link with Open Network Radio Access (O-RAN), advancing the deployment of transport networks based on O-RAN specifications.

The significant industry-wide investment in edge computing will change the profile of the data center ecosystem over the next four years, increasing the edge component of total computing by 29% during that time, from 21% of total computing to 27% in 2026. The magnitude of the industry shift to the edge is one of the notable findings of a new global survey of data center industry professionals conducted by Vertiv, a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions.

IMDEA Networks has been awarded the ENABLE-6G coordinated project from the national UNICO 5G call for proposals. The project comprises two sub-projects, RISC-6G and MAP-6G, and will be developed by a research team led by Dr. Domenico Giustiniano and Dr. Joerg Widmer. This funding will enable the Institute to continue its pioneering research in the field of networks and contribute to the development of the next generation of 6G technology.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. has announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Samsung Electronics in Korea and Samsung Research America in the U.S. to advance research and development of 6G technology, the next generation of wireless communications.

The cost of maintaining railway infrastructure within the European Union exceeds €11 billion per year, according to data from the European Commission. However, in recent years, new technological advances are enabling the railway industry to improve the efficiency of its maintenance processes, enhance management quality and safety, and extend the lifespan of assets such as rails and overhead lines, among others.

Salicru has joined the Spanish Data Center Association (Spain DC) as a partner. Spain DC was established to promote the development of data centers in Spain and strengthen the sector's economic growth. Spain DC connects leading data centers and high-quality providers in Spain, including Salicru, with a comprehensive catalog of solutions to optimize their operation and performance.
