In 2010, the Maryland Department of Information Technology received approximately $160 million in one of the largest NTIA grants in the nation. As the lead recipient, DoIT was responsible for designing and constructing 1,300 fiber miles and connecting nearly 1,100 community anchor institutions. Approximately $4.25 billion has been allocated within NTIA’s BTOP program, making it clear that One Maryland Broadband Network will face intense competition for resources, contractors, and products. NTIA’s broadband allocation is now more than 10 times larger than BTOP’s, making the lessons learned from OMBN invaluable in mitigating vendor supply chain risk in today’s competitive environment. Early…
Aerial Perspective Image/Getty ImagesIn conjunction with 5G network technology, connected devices linked to the Internet of Things (IoT) are now ubiquitous. But wait until next-generation applications like artificial intelligence (AI) start running inside these edge devices. Meanwhile, the low latency and high data speeds of 5G and IoT add a new real-time dimension to AI. Consider an augmented reality (XR) headset. It not only provides a 3D view inside an aircraft engine, but also has onboard intelligence that instantly points out information about problem areas or anomalies in that engine. It will be automatically recognized and adjusted. ALSO: A wave…
If 5G offers faster speeds than 4G, why are big companies like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile taking so long to support 5G service in U.S. cities? Learn about the challenges of 5G deployment around the world, including approvals and network construction costs. Challenges of 5G network deployment The type of signal that some 5G cell towers transmit severely limits their reach to nearby devices. Many networks operate on 5G radio frequencies called millimeter waves, which can carry large amounts of data. As such, they support faster connections and smoother streaming, but coverage is often limited to less than 1 square…
