5G Technology
5G is the 5th generation mobile network. It is a new global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks.
5G enables a new network designed to connect virtually everyone and everything, including machines, objects, and devices.
5G wireless technology is meant to deliver higher multi-Gbps peak data speeds, ultra-low latency, more reliability, massive network capacity, increased availability, and a more uniform user experience to more users.
Higher performance and improved efficiency empower new user experiences and connect new industries.
5G Technology is the next generation of cellular networks and services.
It is expected to provide atleast 20GBPS downlink and 10GBPS uplink, making the 5G network at least 40 times faster than the current 4G LTE.
This will open doors for new services, network operations, and customer experience for telecom operators.
Currently, the market is led by Switzerland, closely followed by South Korea and the US.
Internet of Behaviours (B)
The collection and use of data to drive behaviors are called the Internet of Behaviors (IoB).
An example of it is industrial sites having employed computer vision to determine if employees were complying with mask protocol and then collecting this behavioral data to be analyzed by the organizations to influence people to follow government protocols at work.
IoB links technology and a person’s actions to interpret the interaction. It also has the power to generate patterns to influence people’s behavior.
As a simple example, there is Uber and its application. They use it to track drivers and passengers. At the end of each journey, a survey is conducted to evaluate the passenger experience. Applying IoB instead of IoT, they can go further, collecting the data without evaluating the experience through the survey. It is possible to track the driver’s behavior and then interpret the passenger experience to work on the feedback automatically.
DevSecOps
DevSecOps is short for development, security, and operations.
Its objective is to implement security at the same scale and speed as development and operations and not just for its sake. With the wider adoption of Microservices, DevSecOps seems to find its way deeper into our DevOps market.
That’s not all. An anywhere operations model will be vital for businesses to emerge successfully from this current economy.
At its core, this operations model allows a business to be accessed, delivered, and enabled anywhere. This format is now exploring various other aspects of technology like GitOps, DataOps & NoOps.
Intelligent Process Automation
Robotic Process Automation is basically the idea that ‘Anything that can be automated should be automated.
This year, we’ve discovered something even more fascinating – Intelligent Process Automation. IPA, in a nutshell, allows bots to benefit from the abilities of Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Machine Learning, meaning they can learn and improve over time. This helps these intelligent bots evolve from the ‘If-this-then-that’ rule.
What is Intelligent Process Automation (IPA)?
What is the definition of Intelligent Process Automation?
Intelligent Process Automation is one aspect of a broader shift in technology, that of Automation as a whole. From driverless cars to autonomous drones, automation is helping make seemingly space-age technologies available today by creating and leveraging new forms of intelligence. Whether it’s customer communications in the form of desktop assistants or automated tasks across an enterprise, automation is transforming how we live and work.
Forrester predicts that this year automation will “become the tip of the digital transformation spear, impacting everything from infrastructure to customers and business models.” To deliver services based on this automation, organizations need to orchestrate their complex operations through automated processes.
What is Intelligent Process Automation’s main purpose?
Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) is the collection of technologies that come together to manage, automate and integrate digital processes. The primary technologies that make up IPA include Digital Process Automation (DPA), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
DPA describes the agile set of intelligent process automation technologies that have evolved from their roots in BPM technology. DPA provides the agility and insight needed to enable a holistic approach to automate business processes. It enables you to manage data flow across your enterprise and makes it easier to identify areas for improvement and make agile changes.
Alternatively, RPA brings speed and efficiency to the table. Deploying robots that mimic human actions helps to reduce very manual, labor-intensive tasks, such as re-keying data from one system to another.
AI then contributes great intelligence and decisions to the mix. This brings another level of thinking to automation as AI can analyze data in a way that a human could not, recognizing patterns in data and learning from past decisions to make increasingly intelligent choices.
Tactile Virtual Reality
Innovative technologies offer more immersive experiences like AR and VR. Virtual Reality immerses the user in a simulated environment; Augmented Reality is an overlay of technology in the real world. CISCO forecasts that globally, AR-VR traffic will increase 12-fold by 2022 in all fields of entertainment.
Virtual Reality (VR) technology utilizes visual and auditory senses to allow users to experience and create immersive and dynamic virtual environments.
However, this space lacks the sense of touch, isolating the user to complete computer-generated reality. In contrast, although the architecture has rarely been dynamic or interactive, buildings use tactile materials to augment the spatial experience within these spaces.
'Tactile VR' is a project that combines these two realities to explore the concept of tangible data. Through the installation, users can engage with a new type of architectural space, where the tactility of physical architecture is merged with dynamic digital spatial configuration.
