The 5G network is increasing the already complex 4G network monitoring and management. Introducing more flexibility and eventually deferring some operation and management aspects to third parties (users) through network slicing (a user can customise 5G by creating a sort of personalised network within the network) increases overall complexity. Operators …

What volume of data are we talking about? The estimate at 2030 is between 1 to 2 TB of data per car per day! Today’s connected car have over hundred sensors and the estimate is a production of 25GB per hour. A mind boggling figure. At least four questions arise …

The trend towards autonomous mobility, in all sectors, is “unstoppable” leveraging on several technologies that have been evolving in the last decade and that are promising to become affordable in the current one. Automation in mobility feeds on the same forces that pushed automation in manufacturing: better and consistent performances …

The architecture of networks used to be a top down activity, usually carried out by a Telco Operator (clearly standardisation always played a major role). The overall structure was hierarchical because hierarchy greatly simplifies the rules that each equipment has to follow (considering that those equipment in the past were …

The FTI’s report dedicates one full section to the evolution of network infrastructures, noticing how much the pandemic has emphasised the importance of having a pervasive, scalable network. As you read the report it becomes clear they are recognising that for the coming years 5G will remain the focus.  Big …

Microsoft has announced its Mesh platform and t their Ignite event. You can get all details, and there are plenty, in their Innovation Stories and take a look at the clip to see how it may look like. I am saying “it may look like” because the way it can …

5G has been the talk of the town of the last 2 years, now it has lost a bit of its glitter as the hard issues of balancing economics with market willingness to pay are evident. It remains both a technology push and a marketing pressure (not a market pull). …

Few days ago I read an interesting article on Wired discussing the announcement of new Apple Mac products embedding the M1, the chip developed by Apple. It is not the first time Apple develops chips for its products but it is the first time it does so for its Mac …

6. Everything is smart, embedded intelligence This Megatrend may appear “outdated”. If you look around with a lay-person’s eye you’ll see plenty of ads claiming “intelligence” of products, most of the time in a ridiculous way. The first (that I know of) “intelligent” toothbrush debuted at CES 2017, now you …

2. Global gigabit connectivity at ultra-low cost This megatrend is actually the convergence of three: “global”, “gigabit ” and “ultra-low cost”. The quest for coverage and for performance is nothing new, as a matter of fact. the novelty is in the “quality” and “quantity” foreseen by this trend. Connectivity has …
