5G

Recent announcements from both Dell Technologies and Google highlight the increasing focus the tech industry is placing on edge computing solutions as well as the potential challenges this could create for service providers.

Instead of licensing scarce frequencies, policymakers love to give free resources to Big Tech.

Applications like autonomous driving and personal robotics are proving to be challenging for traditional computing architectures, but a relatively unknown, biology-inspired technology called neuromorphic computing could hold the key to new killer applications.

Analysts Will Townsend and Anshel Sag share their takeaways from Qualcomm's recent Smart Cities Accelerate 2021 event.

As 5G is deployed in the next several years, engineers and policymakers must start thinking about a 6G in the decade ahead.

Analyst Will Townsend discusses Living Security's human risk management platform.

DJI, TikTok, Lenovo and YMTC work around the rules.

Although its partners don’t always expose every possible photography or videography-related feature available in its Snapdragon mobile platforms, it’s clear that Qualcomm’s Spectra Image Signal Processor and its related software are capable of producing excellent photographs and video...

Chip maker GlobalFoundries debuted a number of enhancement to its chipmaking processes and platforms, including several that can enable better performing, more responsive 5G smartphones, as well as new advancements in silicon photonics for demanding datacenter and cloud computing workloads.

5G is essentially doing for the digital transformation of industries, systems, and AI what 4G did for the smartphone, it is allowing for high-speed low-latency connections that enable new applications, new usage models, and new business models.

As employees start to return to the office, interoperability challenges from dedicated videoconferencing hardware will quickly become apparent. Cisco and Google are tackling the challenge head-on by providing the ability to use their hardware devices across both collaboration platforms.

Analyst Will Townsend provides his takeaways from Light Reading's recent Big 5G event in Denver, CO.

Solar and energy storage also "very interesting"

Who contributes and who doesn't to the $65 billion package are more interesting than the amount itself.

Analyst Anshel Sag takes a look at how T-Mobile's 5G network made Fisk University's new human cadaver lab possible.

Put it this way, if someone I knew was looking to get into Android for the first time, (like an iPhone convert) and didn’t want to spend a lot on a phone, the new Google Pixel 5a is no-brainer recommendation and an excellent value.

5G by itself simply isn't enough to enable the kind of technological visions we were promised. Instead, we need to rethink of 5G as the unification of new cellular technology with edge computing and AI processing.
