5G global connections numbered nearly 2 billion earlier this year, and are projected to reach 7.7 billion by 2028. While 5G has delivered faster speeds, higher capacity, and improved latency, particularly for video and data traffic, the initial promise of creating new revenues for network operators has remained elusive. Most mobile applications are now routed to the cloud. At the same time…
]]>Wireless technology has evolved rapidly and the 5G deployments have made good progress around the world. Up until recently, wireless RAN was deployed using closed-box appliance solutions by traditional RAN vendors. This closed-box approach is not scalable, underuses the infrastructure, and does not deliver optimal RAN TCO. It has many shortcomings. We have come to realize that such closed-box…
]]>Applications are increasingly real-time and delay-sensitive, from distributed databases and 5G radio access networks (RANs) to gaming, video streaming, high-performance computing (HPC), and the metaverse. Nanosecond resolution time sync augments conventional computing in many ways, including: Through a series of collaborations, NVIDIA, Meta, and others in the Open Compute Project Time…
