• Network Slicing Set to Accelerate Non-Public 5G Network Deployments 5G cellular technology has garnered considerable excitement among consumers primarily because of faster speeds, with shortened latencies and higher bandwidth as much-advertised calling cards. Beyond that consumer market is another world of capabilities in non-public or private networks (NPNs), which represent one of the telecom industry's most promising growth sectors. Work is already well underway. By the end of last...

• Intel and Cisco: Working Together to Enable Wireless Smart Manufacturing Optimizing wireless communications for the masses The Wi-Fi ecosystem continues to advance and expand. As predicted by Cisco, 60% of the worldwide data traffic will travel via Wi-Fi within the next two years. What’s more, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has recently announced new rules for access to the 6 GHz spectrum, unleashing even higher Wi-Fi speeds in the future. With so much traffic relying...

• Wireless Time-Sensitive Networking Wireless Time-Sensitive Networking (WTSN) Everyone can relate to the idea of time as a precious resource not to be wasted. Time is also a valuable and scarce resource to machines, computers, and mobile devices. In fact, precise time and timeliness (computing and communication within strictly bounded time intervals) are the foundations for emerging connected computing systems and applications. Smart factories,...
