Find out how telcos can monetize data assets and turn them into profit-yielding services.

The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

A 26-year-old telecom incumbent seized an opportunity to reinvent itself—and attract its next generation of customers.

New open and disaggregated architectures, software and hardware such as Open RAN, give operators the flexibility to extend 5G to more users in a cost-effective, secure and energy efficient way, according to the report. This “flexibility” will stimulate “greater innovation” across industries in areas such as telemedicine and smart factories. However, if the EU is to maintain its competitiveness, technology leadership and resilience, decisive action and collaboration is needed now. If not, Europe risks falling behind North America and Asia in the development and deployment of next generation networks, according to the report.

La plupart des utilisateurs ignorent l’impact écologique du numérique. En effet, la plupart des internautes privilégient l’utilisation du numérique pour réduire leurs déchets et limiter l’utilisation des matières premières pour créer du plastique, du papier, etc. Néanmoins, l’utilisation du numérique est l’une des principales causes du réchauffement climatique par rapport à la pollution émise lors du processus de fabrication, l’utilisation des appareils ou le recyclage – peu performant – des déchets numériques.

IGA tools manage digital identity and access rights across multiple systems. The more heterogeneous the environment in terms of applications and systems, the more complicated the challenge is for identity governance and administration. Hence, there's often a need to procure an IGA tool to simplify identity management and help demonstrate compliance with regulations related to identity management.

The need for greater protection for home devices, including those in the consumer smart home category, is on the rise. As technology continues to advance, more devices are becoming connected to the internet. With more devices relying on wireless networking, even traditionally unconnected digital devices such as alarm clocks and thermostats can become part of the home network. The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, all collecting and sharing data. The home of the future is smart and smart homes will have integrated IoT devices.

The World Bank reports that 1 billion people across the globe can't prove their identity. This creates a variety of problems for citizens when it comes to accessing digital services. As one possible solution, countries should work toward a higher level of digital inclusion. In this article, I'll discuss how digital identity can be successfully implemented by looking at examples from different regions.

Identity assurance is a process of verifying and confirming that an individual's identity is valid and reliable. It involves using various methods, such as document verification, biometric authentication, and knowledge-based verification, to confirm that an individual is who they claim to be. The purpose of identity assurance is to ensure that an individual's identity is secure and protected from fraud and theft, especially in digital transactions and interactions. Identity assurance is crucial for various industries, including finance, healthcare, and government, where sensitive personal information is involved.

With the rise of remote work and shadow IT, more devices and apps (both sanctioned and unsanctioned) are connecting to your organization’s network. Today, there are approximately five million mobile apps currently in circulation: approximately three million for Android and two million for iOS. That’s great for productivity, but less than ideal when it comes to security. Despite the best efforts of curated app stores, a significant portion of mobile applications contain worrying security concerns.

Sidus Space’s competitors have higher revenue and earnings than Sidus Space. Sidus Space is trading at a lower price-to-earnings ratio than its competitors, indicating that it is currently more affordable than other companies in its industry.

Sunil Mittal's Bharti group and UK government-backed satellite communication company OneWeb has been selected for two trials in the UK to connect remote communities for the government's ‘Very Hard to Reach Premises’ connectivity program. “As part of the programme, OneWeb’s high-speed, low latency LEO (low-earth orbit) network will deliver connectivity for trials through its partners BT and Clarus,” the satcom provider said in a statement.

Using advanced low earth orbit satellites, Starlink delivers industry leading broadband internet connectivity which will improve the capacity, speed and reliability of internet on board. The Company is currently testing Starlink, beginning with Norwegian Breakaway, with the intent to rollout this game-changing technology across its entire world class fleet in a phased manner.

IoT has the power to deliver new operational advantages to businesses across sectors by building a mesh of advanced analytics, automated capabilities, and real-time insights. Yet many companies that have invested in IoT technologies struggle to realise its promised benefits. Connectivity is one of the key roadblocks to realising this potential.

One of the major causes for concern in the building sector is energy consumption. Heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration systems (HVAC or HVACR) are responsible for up to 60% of a commercial building’s energy consumption. This not only puts a strain on resources, but it also results in higher energy costs and a greater carbon footprint. Fortunately, there is a solution: IoT technologies that enable data-driven energy efficiency initiatives.

Despite the huge capital investments made by operators to keep pace with successive waves of new technology over the past decade, their core business has become increasingly commoditized and growth has slowed. Instead, most of the value created in the industry has been captured by so-called edge players—those manufacturing handsets, developing apps, building infrastructure, or providing streaming or other digital services.

Open RAN est une évolution continue des architectures de réseau mobile qui permet aux fournisseurs de services d'utiliser des sous-composants non propriétaires de divers fournisseurs. Un Open RAN, ou réseau d'accès radio ouvert, est rendu possible par un ensemble de normes à l'échelle de l'industrie que les fournisseurs de télécommunications peuvent suivre lors de la production d'équipements connexes. Open RAN permet des fonctions programmables, intelligentes, désagrégées, virtualisées et interopérables. Plus précisément, la tête radio distante propriétaire (Remote Radio Head, RRH) et les unités de bande de base (Baseband Units, BBU) sont désormais désagrégées en unités radio (Radio Units, RU), unités distribuées (Distributed Units, DU) et unités centralisées (Centralized Units, CU), dont beaucoup peuvent être virtualisées ou conteneurisées. Les interfaces entre ces nouveaux composants sont ouvertes et interopérables.

Les MVNO sont apparus sur le marché des offres mobiles depuis une dizaine d’années. Ils cherchent à se distinguer par des tarifs avantageux et des conditions très attractives. Actuellement, leurs offres ne cessent de s’accroître sur le tout le territoire. Quels sont exactement ces types de fournisseur de services et comment opèrent-ils ? C’est ce que nous allons découvrir par la suite.

Automotive technology is evolving rapidly from infotainment systems and operational sensors to mobile app integrations and full driving automation. Modern vehicles have up to 150 electronic control units and 100 million lines of code. By the year 2030, many observers expect them to have roughly 300 million lines of software code. In comparison, mass-market personal computer software has close to 40 million. While each line of code and point of connectivity enhances functionality and usability, they also introduce the risk of breaches and cyberattacks.

NFT technology is positioned to fundamentally alter the structure of digital ownership, including the art world, huge corporations, and even high-profile celebrity items. However, NFTs even have the potential to totally transform trade finance and international trade since many NFT use cases in financial services are the far greater and more significant images hidden beneath the glitz of having digital goods.

-- Lack of reliable, ubiquitous high speed Internet. This restriction places limits on where people can live and travel while continuing to work. It is a safe assumption that most remote jobs are going to require some level of stable and fast Internet service. As people leave the major cities, they have shown an increased interest in rural properties and open spaces but some of these areas are best served by cellular or satellite Internet, both of which have their own issues. Some companies, including Amazon, are planning to launch low Earth orbit satellites to try to fix this problem but availability dates and pricing are not clear. 

Among the three players, experts believe that OneWeb would get an edge in terms of rolling out the services as the company has a robust constellation of 618 low-earth orbit satellites to offer internet services.
