Clearly there is much more than voice based interaction.  So let’s explore other technologies and their implication first by looking at voice (and typing that we have already considered) alternative technologies and then taking the plunge into multimodal interactions (that is our natural way of interacting as human being!). Let’s …

The new Gartner Hype Cycle for 2019 emerging technologies is out and the position of 5G caught my eye. It is right at the top of the curve, meaning it has reached the top of the hype (it is mentioned in 726 million pages according to Google, not as many …

3. Autonomous vehicles, BleuTech in its announcement of their new (mini) smart city construction (starting December 2019), BleuTechPark, in the Las Vegas Valley have indicated the intention of using self-driving vehicles for public transportation. They are not alone. It is now quite a few decades since the first automated metro …

It was September 12th, 1958, when the first integrated chip was demonstrated by Jack Kilby at Texas Instrument (for the record, that first chip was using germanium, not silicon. Robert Noyce few months after that first chip was able to create one based on silicon). It took 12 more years …

These two areas are important for Autonomous Systems (if you are interested in technology trends and roadmaps for their application to Autonomous Systems take a look at the White Paper II of SAS). In the White Paper III, in preparation, we are taking a look at present market and its …

Of course, 5G is much more than the radio part and spectrum efficiency/use. It has a lot to do with network and service architecture. It is through a novel architecture that much lower latency can be achieved. It is the novel architecture that support the session management at the edges, …

Got a call yesterday from a Dutch journalist who was just back from an Ericsson presentation on 5G and wanted to know about 6G. Looks like Ericsson managed to make him curious on what might the future be like… We discussed a little bit the general evolution trends, since 6G …

I had the opportunity of discussing the wireless tower business with Oscar Cicchetti, who has a very in-depth knowledge of the telecom biz (he was head of a major Telecom Operator network infrastructure, head of international Biz and more recently head of a Tower Infrastructure company) and he made several …

5G is going to provide very high capacity, reaching 1Gbps in favourable situations, but this higher capacity is dependent on the use of millimetre waves (in the tens of GHz), and the reason is not in any magic coding, rather in the huge spectrum that can be associated to very …

In these last few months I have been monitoring the web for news on Augmented and Virtual Reality, trying to spot emerging trends. As it always happens in the first months of the new year you get plenty of forecasts in many market and technology segments and AR/Vr is no …
