Beyond Smart WiFi, boosting customer experience while creating new revenue streams

Beyond Technology, a global company with headquarters in the US and offices in Mexico, Latin America, the Middle East, North Africa, APAC and Europe, is launching a unique new solution that will shake up dramatically the way we see connectivity in public spaces. Beyond Smart WiFi (BSWF) implies a powerful Artificial Intelligence managed WiFi network that repairs and optimizes itself and is Operator grade. The WiFi automation brings to the table 20% to 30% wireless network OPEX savings, while the Cloud-based WiFi microservices saves around 20% of CAPEX, support WiFi 6, IoT (Internet of Things), AI, automation, and location-based services.

The solution can be integrated into resorts, cruises, malls, theme parks, museums, hospitals, schools and stadiums. Through Precision Marketing by location, BSWF can help companies capture contacts, develop trust relationships, stimulate purchase actions and foster brand loyalty. The platform can segment web visitors based on their interests. Marketers claim to see a 56% increase in their sales when using personalized experiences.

BSWF displays the Adds in the cell phone main screen, while normally the competition sends them via SMS or emails, that become pure spam. "This product could become so relevant that it may change the way WiFi networks are being used by all these businesses", says Guillermo Solomon, US CEO at Beyond Technology.

With this solution, cross-selling and up-selling strategies can be implemented with much better results. For example, inside a shopping center, if a potential customer passes in front of a store and has logged in with a social network (which happens in 40% of the cases), BSWF will get important data, such as gender, age, and attributes. Then, the system can immediately send a personalized ad about the products of that store that could interest the customer, as well as discount coupons with QR codes. This encourages buying in ranges that exceed 50%.

Indoor location with route maps in BSWF is automated with AI, and the network has also Bluetooth and IoT connectivity. If you are in a supermarket and want to buy a folding chair to go camping, instead of looking for an employee, you can get a route map to find the product.

Intel’s AI PC Neural Processor, Transforming AI Accessibility

Intel | September 20, 2023

Intel is turning software into a new revenue-generating business division, based primarily on the AI obsession. Intel is the first to bring a true AI accelerator to a PC with Meteor Lake. Intel Xeon processors of the fifth generation will also debut on December 14. Next year, the Sierra Forest E-core processor will be available with 288 cores. Intel has revealed plans to launch an AI PC, set to be released on December 14, featuring Intel Core Ultra processors with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU). The new processors, codenamed Meteor Lake, will include Intel's NPU for AI acceleration and local inference on the PC, representing an inflection point in client processing. The move is part of Intel's effort to compete with Nvidia and expand its presence in the AI space across various compute needs. CEO of Intel, Pat Gelsinger, noted ‘AI Everywhere' in a keynote address, surprising some who haven't been paying attention with a December 14 launch date for the AI PC running Intel Core Ultra processors with a comparatively new acronym, NPU, for Neural Processing Unit. In July, he first described the upcoming AI PC era. The AI PC is expected to launch worldwide, with Acer already planning to unveil a laptop powered by the Core Ultra processor. Intel's AI PC represents a significant development, as it brings a true AI accelerator to a PC. This allows for generative AI tasks to be performed locally, faster, and with higher levels of privacy and security. The AI PC is expected to play a crucial role in supporting AI workloads on local devices, such as PCs, mobile devices, and edge devices. Analyst at J. Gold Associates, Jack Gold, stated, The significance of AI on a PC is not to be overlooked, this is a big deal. Intel is the first to bring a true AI accelerator to a PC with Meteor Lake. Microsoft is even adding capabilities in next-gen Windows to access the NPU. [Source: Fierce Electronics] Local processing power becomes crucial as AI workloads increasingly run on local devices. This shift reduces the need to transfer data to the cloud, improving efficiency and reducing latency. It aims to leverage AI to transform the PC experience, emphasizing the synergy between cloud and PC. This will allow for personal productivity and creativity enhancements. Intel's Core Ultra processors will include Fovoros packaging, combining the NPU, Intel 4 process technology, and graphics capabilities with Intel Arc graphics.

UST and Barbara Join Forces to Deploy AI across Edge Infrastructure

UST | September 15, 2023

UST strives to provide comprehensive digital solutions with enhanced customization and support capabilities. Currently, 90% of the data generated at edge data cannot be processed seamlessly in real-time, thereby diminishing its value. The agreement equips Barbara for long-term success by collaborating with UST to tackle the challenges of digital transformation while building a robust partner ecosystem. UST, a prominent company for digital transformation solutions, has entered into a partnership with Barbara to facilitate private, secure, real-time digital transformation by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence. Together, UST and Barbara will be able to leverage data generated at the 'Edge' by various IoT devices, industrial facilities, and equipment machinery. Currently, 90% of this data cannot be processed seamlessly in real-time, devaluing it. This collaboration will enable UST to provide customers with access to a premier orchestration platform capable of deploying, monitoring, and maintaining applications, devices, and AI at the edge at scale. AI at the edge refers to the deployment of artificial intelligence in an edge computing environment, where computation takes place closer to the source than in a central cloud facility or isolated data center. Head of Smart Data & AI, Spain and South America at UST, Ignacio Marrero, stated, For UST, this agreement will allow us to expand our capacity to develop AI solutions while also extending reach to devices on the edge. By collaborating with Barbara, we will be able to deploy our agile strategy for the training and deployment of AI models. [Source: Cision PR Newswire] The focus of this partnership lies in efficiently processing data generated at the 'Edge' through numerous IoT devices, industrial plants, and equipment machines. Currently, a significant portion of this data cannot be processed in real-time, resulting in a loss of value. Deploying AI at the edge involves utilizing artificial intelligence in an edge computing setting closer to the data source than central cloud facilities or remote data centers. David Purón, Chief Executive Officer at Barbara, said that, through their collaboration with UST, they would expedite the launch of projects necessitating edge capabilities, providing increased security, zero latency, and enhanced flexibility. He noted that this partnership allowed both companies to leverage their respective strengths and expertise in developing tailored digitization solutions for clients. This collaboration aims to orchestrate intelligent applications at scale across edge infrastructure, utilizing real-time data processing and local storage. By doing so, UST and Barbara intend to expedite the development of intelligent, cyber-secure, and decentralized applications for Industry 4.0. The advantages of employing AI at the edge include lower operational costs, quicker operations, enhanced customer experiences due to faster responses, and a competitive edge through localized data processing with improved privacy measures. Additionally, it eliminates latency, ensures regulatory and cybersecurity compliance, maintains operations in low connectivity environments, and delivers significant bandwidth cost savings. The partnership also positions Barbara to address digital transformation challenges alongside UST as they collaborate to establish a robust partner ecosystem.
