It will soon be easier for schools to cover the cost of installing Wi-Fi on school buses, allowing students, especially those in rural areas with long commutes, to use that time to study and do homework.Starting next year, schools will be able to use federal E-rate funds to pay for Wi-Fi on school buses under changes approved by the Federal Communications Commission on Oct. 19.FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel (D) supported the bill along with two other Democrats on the five-person committee. Both Republicans on the committee voted against it.The debate over the change reminded Rosenworcel of a rural community in…

Cellular and wireless technology evolves every few years, with new generations promising improved functionality and new use cases. So are the latest cellular and wireless generations, 5G and Wi-Fi 6, respectively.In the wireless world, Wi-Fi 6 aims to stand out from past generations by bringing a new generation naming system, enhanced IoT capabilities, and multi-user support. For cellular, 5G introduces network speeds and data rates and low latency not seen with previous cellular technologies.Although Wi-Fi 6 and 5G differ in some ways, experts suggest the two technologies work well together to support enterprise use cases such as IoT, edge computing,…

5G, the fifth generation of mobile communications, has come a long way since the first generation was introduced in the 1980s. Each evolution of cellular network technology has brought its own advancements and changes, such as mobile web browsing and the use of mobile video. Today, 5G factories and warehouses are embracing the technology and the benefits it brings.Since its introduction, 5G has played a role in material flow analysis (MFA) and process flow analysis (PFA). Although each has different applications, at their core, both MFA and PFA specialize in mapping, analyzing, and optimizing various flows within an organization. With…

Live from MWC Kigali 2023: Rashina Kohn, Executive Director and CEO of Smart Africa (caught in the photo) noted the potential for 5G to be a game-changer for Africa, but, together with colleagues on the SAMENA Council, pointed to the continued digital adoption challenges facing markets in the region. In the event’s second keynote, Cohn promoted future use cases that, when strategically implemented, can create significant societal impact, such as starting use cases for telemedicine and IoT. He described 5G as “one of the most transformative technological advances of our time,” adding, “It will disrupt our industries, create new opportunities…

Despite some early 5G hurdles, including price premiums, limited access, and slowed deployment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 5G services are now mainstream. All U.S. carriers are offering consumer 5G, and price premiums are being eliminated. While some 5G network rollouts were delayed, carriers moved forward as more consumers worked from home. Smartphones and mobile internet access are not the only use cases for 5G. For a consumer, 4G LTE performance, data caps, and legacy device tolerance may hinder his 5G adoption. But at the same time, several key benefits of 5G could accelerate 5G enterprise use cases. 1.…

5G is the latest mobile phone technology that is taking the world by storm. The new wireless standard offers improvements in several key areas over previous standards such as 4G LTE, leading to improved reliability, increased speeds, and reduced network latency from an end-user perspective. Carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon are busy rolling out 5G networks across the United States. Now that 5G is available in many geographic locations, organizations are leveraging the increased performance of additional bandwidth and lower latency across multiple business technologies, including: Mobile Unified Communications (UC). Let’s take a look at how 5G removes many…

Everyone, get your browsers ready. Wi-Fi will be upgraded soon. that’s right. Nearly four years after Wi-Fi 6 was introduced, followed by Wi-Fi 6E and two years later, Wi-Fi 7 will pick up the baton.As someone who started reviewing routers, I So tired.Okay, but seriously. Wi-Fi 7 could potentially deliver even bigger speed increases than Wi-Fi 6E, thanks to the larger free space in the 6GHz band freed up by 6E. It also deploys other speed-boosting tricks and is said to bring new ways to block interference and reduce network latency.Does all of this sound familiar? Perhaps it’s because the…
