NTT developed a transceiver operating in the 28 GHz band capable of OAM transmissionachieving large-capacity wireless transmission at a total bit rate of 100 Gbps. NTT believes the technology holds promise for achieving large-capacity wireless transmission at a 2 level about 100 times that of LTE and Wi-Fi and about 5 times that of current 5G. http://www.ntt.co.jp/news2018/1805e/180515a.html Source: https://www.convergedigest.com/2018/05/ntt-employs-orbital-angular-momentum.html At&T Airship, OpenStack da AT&T con Intel e SKT in Open Source avere un cloud "world class" è essenziale per poter lanciare la rete 5G e tutte le iniziative di automazione di rete e servizi e analytics e previsione che a AI. Poichè fare tutto da soli è troppo costoso, AT&T trova alleati attraverso iniziative OpenSource Newly launched, the AT&T Airship open infrastructure project aims to simplify site operation for cloud operators. The company is working with Intel Corporation, the OpenStack Foundation and Korean telecom provider SKT . “Simply put, Airship lets you build a cloud easier than ever before,” said Amy Wheelus, AT&T vice president of Cloud and Domain 2.0 Platform Integration, in a blog post announcing Airship. Another role for Airship will be to “fuel and accelerate” AT&T’s Network AI initiative, which the company previously described as a framework for a range of open source projects that the company has undertaken. The framework determines how the projects integrate with and support one another, the company said.

Non bisogna mai sottovalutare WiFi Qualcomm said today it will work with Facebook to support Facebook Terragraph technology, a high-speed wireless offering designed for urban areas that Facebook has likened to “fiber in the air.” Qualcomm said it will integrate Terragraph technology in its pre-802.11 ay Wi-Fi chipsets. Facebook and Qualcomm said they expect to begin trials of the integrated solution in mid-2019. The 802.11 ay standard aims to boost the performance of Wi-Fi technology and is one element of Facebook Terragraph technology. Facebook Terragraph Technology Terragraph technology is designed to operate in an unlicensed portion of the millimeter wave band at 60 GHz. It uses multi-point multi-hop wireless technology based on client and distribution nodes designed for installation on what Facebook calls “street furniture” such as lamp posts and streetlights. The idea, as Yael Maguire, Facebook vice president of connectivity, explains in a video posted on the Terragraph web page, is to use the infrastructure of the city to create a network that can support “a really dense deployment” of access nodes and to offer speeds comparable to what fiber can support at considerably lower cost. According to the Terragraph website, developers envision providing gigabit connectivity to single- or multi-family dwellings and 10 Gbps connectivity to apartment buildings and businesses and to support events. 3 Facebook Terragraph Nodes (Source: Facebook Code website) “Cities are the center of education and opportunities for jobs,” comments Maguire in the Terragraph video. “The trend is toward more and more urbanization.” He notes in the video that the technology will need a “rich ecosystem of partners,” including cities that will need to make infrastructure available to support the technology and internet service providers that would install the technology. A press release about the Facebook/ Qualcomm deal noted that Qualcomm has optimized its technology for use in outdoor backhaul applications by introducing enhancements such as a TDMA- based protocol, time synchronized nodes, channel bonding and a massive antenna array to optimize performance of its new chipset in urban areas. Facebook previously announced that Nokia would supply wireless passive optical network (WPON) technology for use with Terragraph. http://www.telecompetitor.com/facebook-partners-with-qualcomm-on-terragraph-fiber- Source: in-the-air-technology-aims-to-enable-gigabit-fixed-wireless/ Spain: Telefónica in 20m FTTH homes passed and 3.5m customers ci son voluti 6 anni per raggiungere questi risultati, abbastanza un unicum in Europa Spanish telco Telefónica has broken a new record by passing 20 million homes with FTTH – 70 per cent of all households in the country. The company – which claims to have the largest FTTH network in Europe – has completed the FTTH deployment in the country’s largest cities with 244,000km of cable and is now focussing on the medium and smaller cities, with plans to reach 25 million homes by 2020. After six years of FTTH deployment, Telefónica already has over 3.5 million customers, 58 per cent of its bandwidth clients with 2.2 million enjoying up to 600 Mbps speeds. The second FTTH operator is Orange with over 12 million homes with plans to reach 16 million by 2020. Vodafone has 10.3 million FTTH homes.

The service groups cells in clusters and takes statistics from cell overlapping and potential to use carrier 4 aggregation between cells into account, thus reducing operational expenditure and improving network performance. Compared to traditional network design methods, it cut the lead time by 40 percent.

The demo used colour and 3D depth information collected via a structured light 3D camera on an OPPO phone. This was transmitted via 5G NR (New Radio) terminal prototypes from Qualcomm Technologies and eventually displayed on a remote display screen. On a Skype call, for example, the 3D imaging would allow the caller’s perspective to change based on their position and angle.

Speaking at a BT Consumer Group event in London on Tuesday, Allera said that the number of connected devices per household was set to increase 5-fold over the next five years, leaving numerous opportunities for telcos to capitalise on. BT's mobile subsidiary, EE, has identified the Smart Home sub-sector as a key market in which to grow its brand. Speaking at the same event, EE's managing director for Marketing, Max Taylor, announced that the company would be launching a new range of Smart Home products and services in June 2018. https://www.totaltele.com/500103/EE- Source: Average-UK-Smart-Home-will-have-50- connected-devices-by-2023 Digital Twin Technology Could Change How Networks Are Built and Monitored Tema affascinantissimo 5 Though it has yet to be realized at scale, digital twinning has tremendous potential beyond manufacturing and product development, where it’s primarily deployed today. “Over time, digital representations of virtually every aspect of our world will be connected dynamically with their real-world counterparts...City planners, digital marketers, healthcare professionals, and industrial planners will all benefit from this long-term shift to the integrated digital twin world.” In my view, there’s at least one more group that could easily be added to the list of people likely to benefit from digital twinning: networking professionals.

  • Internet of Things E Smart Cities in Cina
    Corso di Laurea magistrale in Lingue e istituzioni economiche e giuridiche dell’Asia e dell’Africa mediterranea Ex D.M. 270/04 Tesi di Laurea Internet of Things e Smart Cities in Cina Relatore Ch. Prof. Daniela Rossi Correlatore Ch. Prof. Elena Pollacchi Laureando Manolo Fioravanti Matricola 988468 Anno Accademico 2015 / 2016 前言 我的论文涉及到两个方面——物联网和智慧城市,它们对技术、经济和社会都越来越重 要。虽然这两个话题很不一样,但是它们的关系十分紧密。 物联网是信息技术的新研究热点话题,它对未来信息技术和通信技术的预测影响都很大, 有多科学家都认为物联网是新一轮信息技术革命。为什么物联网会被认作是越来越关键,甚 至是革命性的一种新兴技术?物联网的意义是什么?物联网的这个词语包括两个重要的组成 部分,第一个是“物”,“物”有事物,物品的意思;第二个是“联网”,也就是说互联网, 所以物联网字面上的意思就是事物的互联网。到目前为止还没有一个关于物联网公认的定义, 但是全球信息学家、专家都同意的一个观点是:物联网是互联网的下一个阶段,即一个连接 人与人、人与事物、事物与事物的通信网络。物联网的事物包括每种机器和日常用品,从电 脑和手机到冰箱、洗衣机、汽车、衣服等等,什么都可以作为物联网的一个终端。不过,以 上提到的事物不是简单的机器或日用品,因为通过传感器,执行器和每种的通信设备,事物 获得了所谓的智能性。智能物品能够感知物理世界, 采集物理世界的数据,也能够通过网 络把数据传输给关心这些数据的人,或者传输到数据库。人们还可以采用具备执行器智能物 品的执行能力,对物理世界的物体进行控制。这样,智能物品不但可以被远方控制,而且也 能自己执行任务,比如,一个按照用户偏好能够自己调节室温的智能空调体系。关于网络的 方面,每种网络和通信技术都可以满足物联网的需求。但是具体地说世界最大的通信网络是 国际互联网,所以互联网一定是物联网基本的组成部分。 这么大、这么复杂网络的目标是什么?在现在这个越来越信息化的世界,信息起了非常 重要的作用,所以信息的交流当然会持续不断地增长。物联网的目标是实现人与人、人与物、 物与物之间按需进行的信息获取、信息传递、信息存储和信息处理。换句话说,物联网的目 的是加深全球的信息化,增加全球的信息交流。 物联网应用范围很大,我们可以从两个角度分析物联网的概念:从科技角度来看,物联 网是很多不同技术和设备的集合体;从社会和经济的角度来看,物联网一定会对人们的日常 生活有非常大的影响。因为物联网的巨大潜力,全球多个国家的政府都开始重视这种新兴技 术的发展和应用。在这些国家中,最积极鼓励和推进物联网研究和发展的就有中国。 近几年,“创新”在中国成为了热门话题,中国政府对新型技术的态度非常积极——经 济社会的持续发展,需要突破性技术创新。为此,中国政府将“创新”作为国家发展的一个 重点,对新一代信息技术非常感兴趣。2010 年,国务院发布了题为《国务院关于加快培育 和发展战略性新兴产业的决定》的一篇文章,在文章里国务院宣布新型产业是引导未来经济 社会发展的重要力量并确定需要发展的战略性新兴产业的清单,清单内的第二项是新一代信 息技术产业,而新一代信息技术产业的发展目标之内还有促进物联网。 本论文的第二个话题是智慧城市。跟物联网一样,到目前为止还没有一个公认的定义,
