While Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have been around for years, they have not yet entered the mainstream. However, the increasing development and deployment of 5G and edge computing is paving the way for wide-scale adoption of AR & VR through providing solutions to overcome the challenges traditionally faced by the technologies.  […]

The latest GSMA Mobile Economy Report predicted the number of global 5G connections to tip 1 billion by the end of 2022 and double to 2 billion by 2025 – at which point, 5G will account for a quarter of all mobile connections globally.    The demand for 5G has been stronger than expected in […]

Though we live in an increasingly wireless world, that connectivity depends on wires under the ocean. Subsea or submarine cables are fiber optic cables that connect countries across the world via cables laid on the ocean floor. These cables – often thousands of miles in length – are able to transmit huge amounts of data […]

Most of the hype around 5G technology has so far focused on benefits to the consumer, such as almost instantaneous movie download, or powering the Internet of Things at home. However, there is a range of positive workplace impacts, too – namely greater efficiencies through increased speeds and more data. 5G technology will impact various […]

While we are still in the process of the global rollout of 5G, the hype is already building about the next generation of wireless technology: 6G. In fact, many telecommunications vendors are already investing heavily in 6G technology, which is currently in the research phase. Although implementation may still be many years away, 6G is […]

Business owners today are aware of the technological advantages of 5G technology; however, many are unaware of the specific use cases where 5G implementation can really add value to their organization.   CIOs and other business leaders are identifying business opportunities, and companies across industries are increasing their use of private and public 5G networks […]

The terms ‘fiber optic’ and ‘wireless broadband’ are often used interchangeably when referring to internet connectivity. While both are internet connection types, there are key differences between the two.   In this article, we will discuss the main differences between them.   What is Fiber Optic?   Fiber optic is an internet connection that uses […]

The global rollout of public 5G is still in its early stages, and it seems likely to be a few years before mainstream adoption. However, the adoption of private 5G networks is gaining significant traction across the globe, powered by regulators allocating more spectrum to enterprises. With access to this spectrum, organizations can build and […]
