Software Platforms for Internet of Things and M2M

March 1, 2016

The technologies and applications consolidated under the vision of Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine Communications (M2M) are attracting the interest of businesses and poised to trigger next disruption in Information & Communication Technology (ICT) applications. The domain specific solutions involving sensors, mobile phones and other devices are maturing to integrate in a generic ICT services paradigm. Architecture for a unified horizontal services platform is emerging. This paper surveys important trends, key requirements, evolving technologies and emerging solutions for such a software platform for IoT and M2M services.

This paper explores how telecoms operators could go about implementing a cloud¬native 5G core network. Most early movers are taking one of two approaches to deploy a cloud¬native 5G core:

How Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Can Help Your Business Survive the Pandemic—And Prevail in the Future

whitePaper | August 23, 2022

Growing demand for remote working solutions in light of the pandemic is bolstering the case for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) adoption. In this white paper, we discuss why VDI is best suited for today’s business environments, especially since remote work is poised to play a big role both now and in the “new normal” of a post-COVID-19 world. We discuss VDI’s main advantages, its shortcomings and what can be done to address them.

The Rise of Single Pair Ethernet in IIoT

whitePaper | May 12, 2022

Traditionally the networking architectures used within the industrial domain have been many and varied. With its established enterprise IT roots, Ethernet was always going to be the backbone network of choice to link the worlds of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) together. However, since the arrival of Industrial IoT (IIoT), connecting all the production assets, such as sensors, actuators, robots, and the myriad of other equipment, typically involved proprietary, vendor-specific networking. The availability of single-pair Ethernet (SPE) looks set to change this legacy approach.
