“Today, if you look at Fibre Channel in relation to high-speed Ethernet, there’s no comparison. The future is Ethernet, and yet some media storage manufacturers continue to promote Fibre Channel, which presents real risks for their customers,” explained Oliver Gappa.

In 2016, ZTE and the federal state of Carinthia entered into a digitalization partnership with the goal of making Carinthia Europe's leading digital region. In October 2018, this partnership moved forward with the clear objective of strengthening Carinthia as a hub for mobility, tourism, and business through the use of 5G technology.

Indra is working within the T-Shark research program, which is part of the European Sparta project, to provide the EU with cyber situational awareness capabilities to monitor, detect and respond quickly to any threat, thus protecting the digital economy and the rights of its citizens in cyberspace.

Millimeter-wave technology will achieve data transmission speeds previously only possible with fiber optics. The radio frequency spectrum, the cornerstone of wireless telecommunications, is a finite resource that must be managed efficiently to meet the demands of the exponential growth of wireless internet access. Researchers at IMDEA Networks have developed a novel communications architecture for future ultrafast wireless networks that promises to achieve data speeds previously only possible with fiber optics.

Optoscribe and Sumitomo Electric Industries have partnered with the University of L'Aquila, Italy, to develop the ^first multi-core fiber (MCF) testbed for space-division ^multiplexed (SDM) communications in a real-world field environment. This initiative is part of an experimental research project to help strengthen the telecommunications infrastructure of the city of L'Aquila, following the 2009 earthquake that devastated much of the city center.

In recent years, media consumption has shifted towards smartphones and other mobile devices. Reaching billions of smartphones will be the future of online streaming with ATSC and 3GPP. As part of the Bavarian research project "5G TODAY," Rohde & Schwarz is investigating large-scale TV broadcasts in a 5G HPHT (High Power High Tower) transmission field trial near Munich.

Moxa Inc has announced its participation in the OPC Foundation's Field Level Communications (FLC) initiative as part of its commitment to developing Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) technologies.

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) is a key technology for connected driving, specifically for driving safety. It is vital that the industries involved in connected driving work together to transform these concepts into sustainable businesses for all stakeholders.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. today announced the industry's first successful demonstration of a new IP data transfer call using 5G New Radio (NR) with MediaTek's Helio M70 multimode modem with integrated baseband.

Today's data centers consume and waste a significant amount of energy responding to user requests as quickly as possible, with delays of just a few microseconds. A new system developed by MIT researchers improves the efficiency of high-speed operations by better allocating time-sensitive data processing across central processing unit (CPU) cores and ensuring that the hardware operates productively.

According to this year's (2017-2022) Cisco VNI Mobile forecast update, mobile traffic is poised to reach one zettabyte annually by the end of the forecast period. By 2022, mobile traffic will account for nearly 20% of global IP traffic, reaching 930 exabytes annually. This is almost 113 times the total global mobile traffic generated just ten years earlier, in 2012.

Pay attention to Lenovo laptops and servers, as well as many other internet-connected devices. Policy regulators in the US and EU have focused on communications network equipment from Huawei and ZTE, indicating that certain products should be restricted, if not outright banned. Strand Consult has been reporting on China's role in global communications networks and 5G for some time.

Atos is coordinating a consortium of nine companies and institutions to implement the FENTEC (Functional ENcryption TEChnologies) project, which will allow users to securely share data over an unsecured or untrusted network. The three-year project is funded by the European Commission under Horizon 2020, the European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation.

The high analytical capabilities provided by big data, the revolution of artificial intelligence, the opportunities offered by the digital reality, the necessary and essential cybersecurity, and the promising blockchain constitute, in the opinion of Minsait, an Indra company, the basis of the innovative process that public administrations are facing to improve the provision of their services and the quality of life of citizens.

The non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection services market, recovering from a two-year decline, is undergoing a comprehensive transformation. The convergence of various technologies, such as big data, predictive analytics, digital twins, cloud computing, and smart factories, is enhancing growth opportunities in the market, giving rise to several new business models.

Fujitsu, in collaboration with the consulting firm IDG, has conducted a study offering insights into the vision and expectations of companies across various industries regarding the Internet of Things (IoT) in relation to their organization, barriers, ecosystem, investment areas, and ROI.
The study involved interviewing 330 CxOs from business and IT departments with decision-making authority in Europe (including Spain) and Asia, representing medium-sized and large companies in 13 countries. These companies spanned sectors such as finance, oil & gas, utilities, transportation, and manufacturing, and ranged in size from 500 to over 25,000 employees, representing all functional areas, including operations, customer service, HR, security, and logistics.

A new generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions will prove their value in 2019. This trend is led by voice-driven solutions and pick-and-place robots in smart warehouses, as companies advance in the use of robotic process automation.
