CIO Federal Mobility Group Unveils 5G Testing Framework
To guide governmentwide adoption of 5G and related technologies, the Federal Mobility Group’s (FMG) 5G and Mobile Network Infrastructure Working Group (WG) over the past year has undertaken an extensive evaluation of 5G testing approaches.
IoT Makes Fire Detection Systems Smarter
A combination of cloud computing, sensors, and an IoT gateway provide valuable intelligence for firefighters before they get to an emergency.
5G, Robotics, AVs, and the Eternal Problem of Latency
Autonomous vehicles, factory robots, and virtual reality are probably unattainable until we wring latency out of our networks. Engineers are working on it.
4G on the Moon: One Small Leap, One Giant Step
Nokia Bell Labs and NASA team up to bring wireless networks to the moon.
Breaking the Latency Barrier
Robots and self-driving cars will need completely reengineered networks that have less than one millisecond of lag
