Let me spend a few more words on this “AI in the small” from the point of view of the evolution of AI (both as a consequence and as a fuel to its evolution). As shown in the graphic (bear with me, I am not a professional designer and I …

In the previous post on this series I considered a few technology areas that support the “operation” of Industry 5.0 (noting that these are already applied in Industry 4.0). Let’s now move on to take a look at technologies that are likely to “foster” the transition from Industry 4.0 to …

Crunching data faster and faster is what computer industry has been doing over the last 60 years, tracking with amazing precision Moore’s law. Since 2014/2015 Moore’s Law has reached its limit, first in the economics (the price per transistor is no longer decreasing) and then in density (we can no …

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 …

As mentioned in the previous post in this series, and as pointed out in the FTI’s report, the evolution trend for communications networks is shifting the focus to the edges. Hence, in this decade we can expect a growth of data processing at the edges, both in devices and in …

Wireless networks are everything but wireless. The “core” part is basically undistinguishable from the wireline network, however, their edges are quite different, of course, comprising base stations, poles, antennas … but still very “fixed” indeed. For many years these edges have been “passive”, dumb. Their role was to convert the …

jo Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, more and more, are becoming the tools to access the cyberspace. As more and more data are available and artificial intelligence/data analytics dig into these data creating new ones the complexity of the information exceeds the analytical capability of the single worker, yet this …

Decentralisation of Everything Before the “invention” of Societies all of humanity lived a decentralised life. The invention of societies and its early manifestation with religion and military organisations led to centralisation. Someone was in charge, orders where given centrally and communicated, then monitored for execution. The crucial enabler was, and …

In the beginning it was the Cloud. It looked like the solution to massive storage and computation, It was also a perfect support for distributed service architecture with some parts of the service run locally and some part in the Cloud. Then the fog appeared. The availability of storage and …

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 …
