The quest for intelligence Networks were born as mechanical systems, not really a surprise if one considers the time of their “invention”. Even the first “robots” were mechanical systems. Intelligence in a mechanical system is not necessarily “null”, the basic building stones for intelligence are present in (some) mechanical systems: …

Power issues are not limited to devices,  they are also affecting the wireless network operation cost. As shown in the previous post we have seen an increasing demand of power in base stations as we moved to more advanced cellular systems. Increased bandwidth, MIMO and smart antennas, all require more …

Data Centres are growing in size and processing capacity to manage the increased size and flow of data. As the Clouds they are hosting are evolving to perform more processing intensive tasks and in particular the ones involved in artificial intelligence -training, inferencing- there is an interest for chips that …

Decentralisation of Everything Before the “invention” of Societies all of humanity lived a decentralised life. The invention of societies and its early manifestation with religion and military organisations led to centralisation. Someone was in charge, orders where given centrally and communicated, then monitored for execution. The crucial enabler was, and …

So what will happen next? I closed the (skimpy) overview of the present of telecommunications emphasising the growing role of data and AI. These are the key technologies that will transform communications in the next decades. Talking of decades, we have seen a basic cycle of ten years in wireless …

When thinking about big Telecommunications Infrastructures most of the people think about AT&T, China Telecom, Orange… Indeed these big Telcos have huge pervasive infrastructures on the home turf plus connections reaching several other Countries. Very few would think about Google. Yet, Google has been steadily buying international/intercontinental traffic capacity for …
