In the last two years, we have seen an explosion in the number of cloud providers used by enterprises. What started-out with deployments in one or two clouds has now morphed into five or six, especially when SaaS providers are taken into consideration. We...
Open RAN, the movement in wireless telecommunications to disaggregate hardware and software, to open interfaces and reduce costs is taking off. With Open RAN and the "virtualization" it brings, operators are enabled to run software-based network functions on standard commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) servers. With non-proprietary,...
5G technology adoption and the cool, robust applications it enables such as IoT, Industry 4.0, autonomous driving, telehealth, robotics and more continue to drive Open Radio Access Networks (RAN) along with the promise of seamless network deployments and upgrades at lower costs. And the...
Network configuration management can be a daunting task for IT organizations. They often struggle to impose effective processes. Unfortunately, the automation capabilities of existing tools for IT leaders and network engineers are limited, forcing engineers to make manual remediation changes via command line interface...
Mankind needs change and fast. The best-case scenarios from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) require aggressive mitigation of global carbon emissions, calling for them to fall to levels from 40 to 70% lower than their 2010 levels.

Here at Dell’Oro Group, we have been asking ourselves why enterprise Wi-Fi 6 has been hit so hard by component shortages — where sequential shipment levels for many manufacturers have declined — when typically new technology shipments rise significantly quarter-to-quarter. We looked deeper into...
Private FWA networks
The continued investment from the US government – with the Biden infrastructure bill being the most recent example – will continue to provide vital funding to address the digital divide in the US. This will see that fixed-wireless access (FWA) deployments are...
There is an increasing requirement for sensing and monitoring technologies to support a more sustainable world. With resources in increasingly short supply, monitoring the use of those resources becomes even more important, whether they’re water, electricity, minerals or crops, to enable the most efficient...
