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 Everything is smart, embedded intelligence This Megatrend may appear “outdated”.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 …

As most Countries are focussing on accelerating the deployment of 5G China has decided to move forward and deploy… 6G. Well, as I mentioned in the series of post on 6G, 6G does not exist yet, we actually are not even sure what it will look like. One of the …

9. Digital Realilty The cyberspace has become so pervasive in terms of usage and its access so seamless in every moment of our life that we are starting to lose the perception of a separation between the reality of atoms and the ones of bits. They are starting to merge …

The quest for intelligence Networks were born as mechanical systems, not really a surprise if one considers the time of their “invention”. Even the first “robots” were mechanical systems. Intelligence in a mechanical system is not necessarily “null”, the basic building stones for intelligence are present in (some) mechanical systems: …

The quest for new players Telecommunications biz was born as a vertically integrated sector. The separation between “Operators” and “Manufacturers” took place soon but the two worlds have remained closely interconnected. The ITU, International Telecommunication Union, saw the participation of both Operators and Manufacturers (the members of ITU, a branch …

OK, time to make sense of the title and in particular of the second part: … yet it is already here! The quest for bigger capacity Often we use capacity and speed interchangeably, yet they represent quite different things. The Amazon river has a huge “capacity” (209,000 cubic meter per …

Robot A growing population of robots is turning into avid communications users. According to the latest statistics (World Robotics 2020) there are some 2.7 million industrial robots at work around the world in factories, in Singapore there is one robot for every 10 human workers in a factory. And, notice, industrial …
