The improved speed and latency of 5G can improve various industries including automation, entertainment, and IT. Because of its widespread applicability, more and more network providers—such as Verizon and T-Mobile—are working on rolling out 5G to the public. However, companies and organizations have the option of taking a different route by looking into building their […]
At Verizon’s newly formed 5G testbed in Houston, engineers recently performed a facial recognition test using a Multi-access Edge Compute (MEC) in the network facility with MEC platform software and using a centralized data center. They were able to successfully identify an individual twice as fast using the MEC, proving that analyzing information right at […]
5G networks, the next generation of mobile internet connectivity, are expected to officially launch across the world by 2020, offering unlimited potential to vastly improve our lives. This combination of cutting edge network technology and the very latest research will provide faster speeds and more reliable connections on smartphones and other mobile devices than ever […]
The Internet of Things (IoT) is ever expanding, with billions of touchpoints constantly requiring attention. Eventually, only cost-effective edge infrastructure will be able to keep up with IoT data processing. The local analytics of edge computing mean faster response times, reduced storage costs, and optimum use of bandwidth, while also supporting data privacy and compliance […]
Thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT) more and more devices are connected, including homes, heating systems, fitness trackers, vehicles and more. Gartner projects that IoT devices will climb to a total of 50 billion by 2020, up from 20 billion, and this demand will drive the need for edge computing for data collection and […]
Great news! As of today, the IEEE Technology Report on Wake-Up Radio, a ground-breaking analysis of low-power/low-latency 802.11 wireless LAN interfaces, is now available for purchase at 50% off its original price. If your organization is involved in developing devices and sensors for the Internet of Things, it’s imperative to understand IEEE Wake-Up Radio and how it may […]
The Ericsson Research Blog recently profiled IEEE Wake-Up Radio (check it out here). Frequent readers of ours will know that this ground-breaking technology, developed by the IEEE 802.11ba standards task group, adds a second, low-power radio receiver to a device to reduce power consumption and significantly increase battery life. To help organizations understand their options when […]
