5G Technology

5G Technology What is 5G? 5G is the fifth generation of cellular technology. It is designed to increase speed, reduce latency, and improve flexibility of wireless services. It is a new global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks. 5G enables a new kind of network that is designed to connect virtually everyone and everything together including machines, objects, and devices. The 5G network will also simplify mobility, with seamless open roaming capabilities between cellular and Wi-Fi access. Mobile users can stay connected as they move between outdoor wireless connections and wireless networks inside buildings without user intervention or the need for users to reauthenticate. 5G technology will introduce advances throughout network architecture. 5G New Radio, the global standard for a more capable 5G wireless air interface, will cover spectrums not used in 4G. New antennas will incorporate technology known as massive MIMO (multiple input, multiple output), which enables mu

Cybersecurity

  What is cybersecurity? Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. A successful cybersecurity approach has multiple layers of protection spread across the computers, networks, programs, or data that one intends to keep safe.  Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting internet-connected systems such as hardware, software and data from cyberthreats. What are the elements of cybersecurity Maintaining cybersecurity in a constantly evolving threat landscape is a challenge for all organizations. Application security. Information or data security. Network security. Disaster recovery and business continuity planning. Operational security. Cloud security. Critical infrastructure security. Physical security. End-user education. Why is cybersecurity important? everyone benefits from advanced cyber defense programs. At an individual level, a cybersecurity attack can result in everything from identity theft, to extortion attempts, to the los

Quantum Computing

  What is quantum computing? Quantum computing is a multidisciplinary field comprising aspects of computer science, physics, and mathematics that utilizes quantum mechanics to solve complex problems easily than any classical computers.  Quantum computing uses specialized technology, computer hardware and algorithms that take advantage of quantum mechanics to solve complex problems easily. What is quantum mechanics? At subatomic levels, the equations that describe how particles behave is different from those that describe the macroscopic world around us. Quantum mechanics is the area of physics that studies the behaviour of particles at a microscopic level. Quantum computers take advantage of these behaviour to perform computations in a completely new way. Why do we need quantum computers? If a supercomputer gets stumped, that's probably because the big classical machine was asked to solve a problem with a high degree of complexity. When classical computers fail, it's often due

Renewable Energy

  What is renewable energy? Renewable energy, green energy, or low-carbon energy is energy from renewable resources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale. Renewable energy, often referred to as clean energy, comes from natural sources or processes that are constantly replenished.  Sunlight and wind, for example, are such sources that are constantly being replenished. Renewable energy sources are plentiful and all around us. While renewable energy is often thought of as a new technology, harnessing nature’s power has long been used for heating, transportation, lighting, and more. Now that we have innovative and less-expensive ways to capture and retain wind and solar energy, renewables are becoming a more important power source. Types of Renewable Energy Sources SOLAR ENERGY WIND ENERGY GEOTHERMAL ENERGY HYDROPOWER OCEAN ENERGY BIOENERGY Renewable energy is often deployed together with further electrification, which has several benefits: electricity can move heat or object

Cloud Computing

  What is cloud computing? Cloud computing is the delivery of services including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence over the Internet to offer faster innovation, flexible resources. Cloud computing technology gives access to storage, files, software, and servers through their internet-connected devices likes computers, smartphones, tablets, and wearables. Cloud computing providers store and process data in a location that’s separate from end users. Benefits of cloud computing Agility Elasticity Cost savings Deploy globally in minutes How does cloud computing work? One benefit of using cloud-computing services is that firms can avoid the upfront cost and complexity of owning and maintaining their own IT infrastructure, and instead simply pay for what they use, when they use it. Cloud computing components Data centers Networking capabilities Virtualization Types of cloud Services Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Platform as a Service (PaaS) S

Internet of Things (IoT)

Internet of Things (IoT)? IoT has become one of the most important technologies of the 21st century. Now that we can connect everyday objects—kitchen appliances, cars, thermostats, baby monitors—to the internet via embedded devices, seamless communication is possible between people, processes, and things. By means of low-cost computing, the cloud, big data, analytics, and mobile technologies, physical things can share and collect data with minimal human intervention. Access to low-cost, low-power sensor technology Connectivity Cloud computing platforms Machine learning and analytics Conversational artificial intelligence (AI) With IoT, data is transferable over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interactions. How does IoT work? An IoT ecosystem consists of web-enabled smart devices that use embedded systems -- such as processors, sensors and communication hardware -- to collect, send and act on data they acquire from their environments. The Internet of Thin

Microsoft Power Platform?

What is Microsoft Power Platform? Microsoft Power Platform is composed of four key products: Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI and Power Virtual Agents.   Power Apps: provides a rapid low code development environment for building custom apps for business needs. It has services, connectors, and a scalable data service and app platform (Microsoft Dataverse) to allow simple integration and interaction with existing data. Power Apps enables the creation of web and mobile applications that run on all devices. People use apps for every area of their lives, and business should be no exception. Most out of the box solutions do not meet exact business needs or integrate well with other business programs. Power Apps eases users into app development with a simple interface so that every business user or pro developer can build custom apps.   Power Automate: lets users create automated workflows between applications and services. It helps automate repetitive business processes such as communic
