Broadband Connectivity 

The adoption of private networks and full end to end connectivity capabilities are not new strategies for today’s enterprise, but they are strategies that are gathering speed. A survey from IBM suggests that six out of ten enterprises are accelerating their digital transformation plans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

While the rise of 5G has captured the imagination and attention of consumers and businesses, it is part of a broader technological evolution of new technologies driving higher broadband connections to the end users. 

As I highlighted in my previous article, edge computing – or to use a more accurate description, multi-access edge computing - is expected to transform the processing of data from millions of devices globally. 

This emerging technology trend enables faster response time and real-time compute capabilities of data in close proximity to where it is generated, ie, at the edge of the network, and it is already on the radar of high-performance organizations.
 
According to Gartner, by the end of 2023 over half of large enterprises will deploy at least six edge computing use cases for support of IoT or immersive interaction experiences. That compares to less than 1% in 2019. Similarly, a survey from Forrester suggests that 57 percent of mobility decision-makers have edge computing on their roadmap for the next 12 months.

10.0 W/m-K BERGQUIST^® LIQUI FORM Gel Tackles Heat Management Challenges in High Bandwidth Systems

Irvine, CA – Staying ahead of thermal management requirements for increasingly challenging datacom, telecom and industrial automation applications, Henkel today announced the commercialization of its latest gel thermal interface material (TIM), BERGQUIST^® LIQUI FORM TLF 10000.  The one-part, high thermal conductivity dispensable gel is designed to provide robust heat transfer for high-power electronic components, improving operational efficiency and extending lifetime system reliability.  

Larger, higher-power devices such as ASICs and FPGAs are the norm in 5G telecom infrastructure gear, data center switches, routers and servers, as well as electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure and industrial automation electronics. As component density and complexity increase in response to faster data processing and ...

Broad Connectivity, Faster Data Transmission 

Material solutions that build the foundation for high-speed connectivity and reliable high bandwidth data access management networks

Extending the power of 5G to multiple locations

Securing high-speed data for a digital world

Delivering multi-user access to high-speed broadband signals from a single optical cable requires a high-performance optical distribution network, with the optical line terminal (OLT) at the central hub disseminating the signal to multiple end points, or optical network units (ONUs).
