Over the past few years, Qualcomm has announced 5G modems that have consistently pushed download speeds to new heights, culminating with the X65 in 2021, the company’s first 10-gigabit 5G modem. In 2022, the company is taking a different tack. The X70, its latest modem, is fast, but it’s also more consistent and power-efficient, and it’s all thanks to AI.
The X70 isn’t the first Qualcomm modem to use a machine learning algorithm to improve performance. Last year, the company leveraged the technology to make its X65 modem better at adapting its antenna tuning to changing hand grips. But what makes the X70 different is that includes a dedicated 5G AI processor – a first for a cellular modem, according to the company. Read More

Towards Broad AI & The Edge in 2021
There are those who debate whether the new decade of the 2020s commenced on 1 Jan 2020 or 1 Jan 2021. Either way, one suspects that many around the world will hope that at some point during the course of 2021 the current year will mark a shift away from the events of 2020 and allow for a new start. For a definition of AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning see the Article an Intro to AI.
A new administration is in place in the US and the talk is about a major push for Green Technology and the need to stimulate next generation infrastructure including AI and 5G to generate economic recovery with David Knight forecasting that 5G has the potential – the potential – to drive GDP growth of 40% or more by 2030. The Biden administration has stated that it will boost spending in emerging technologies that includes AI and 5G to $300Bn over a four year period. Read More
When it Comes to Data Transfer, 5G is Just the Beginning
f ever there was a technology tailor made for the world we currently live in, it’s 5G. Everything we do seems based on the need for speed and connectivity. High bandwidth and low latency enables hospital employees working in remote ICUs to communicate with, and quickly send information back to, their main campuses. 5G will also be invaluable in smart cities with densely packed networks of devices that need to communicate and share information in real-time. Then, there are the more everyday tasks that power our lives– a video conference here, a media streaming break there.
But while 5G has the potential to be the engine that moves all of the various bits and bytes around in these examples, what really happens with those bits and bytes? How do we take advantage of that 5G infrastructure? Read More
The Edge is the new center: Edge computing enables emerging technologies (IoT, 5G and AI) for the new data decade
For decades now, most data-driven innovation has taken place in centralized glass-walled rooms, data centers and mega clouds. The gravity these facilities create pulls data inward for processing, and then the resulting value is pushed back out.
Today, the world is changing, as a new digital future takes shape. We are entering an era in which the bulk of new data will be processed at the Edge, outside of corporate and cloud data centers. Read More
Chinese-Made Smartphones Are Secretly Stealing Money From People Around The World
Preinstalled malware on low-cost Chinese phones has stolen data and money from some of the world’s poorest people. Read More
Evolving IT environments require officials to plan for the next-generation SOCs.
Today’s hybrid IT environments, which incorporate cloud and on-premise infrastructure, demand structural changes to agency security operations centers, or SOCs, to be better able to operate within cyberspace versus simply reacting to it.
SOCs face plenty of challenges: serving the needs of remote and teleworking employees, managing multiple cloud platforms, and dealing with the exploding number of IT-configurable devices on emerging 5G networks. Read More
5G will change the world. China wants to lead the way
China isn’t the only country jockeying for control. The US dominated 4G’s expansion and expects to do the same now.
China is moving full steam ahead on 5G, barely slowed down by a pandemic that has ravaged the world. This is setting up a race between the nation and the US, which led the way with 4G cellular technology and wants to keep its pole position in this next generation. Read More
Qualcomm’s Robotics RB5 Platform combines AI acceleration with 5G
Qualcomm today launched the Robotics 5G Platform, which it claims is the world’s first to support AI acceleration and 5G. It occupies the high end of the chipmaker’s prefab robotics solutions and is designed to enable things like machine learning, heterogeneous computing, and computer vision while withstanding “industrial-grade” temperatures and incorporating security “at every layer.”
Stakeholders like Qualcomm believe AI is moving to the edge. Read More
AI on the Edge — An AI Nerd Series |#01-Pilot
In the beginning, there was one big computer. Soon we started connecting to it using terminals ( the UNIX era). Next, we had personal computers, and this was the first time regular people owned hardware that did the work. Today we’re firmly in the Cloud Computing era, which means today’s world is centralized with a central cloud doing all the required processing. The truly amazing things about the cloud are a large percentage of all companies in the world now rely on the infrastructure, hosting, machine learning, and compute power of a very select few cloud providers: Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and IBM. But things got little stirred up when Peter Levine of Andressen Horowitz presented his interesting working theory at a16z; His presentation was titled “The End of Cloud Computing”(!!!) Read More
