    IoT Gateway Docker: Edge Computing in IIoT - Part 2

    Operating more than one application simultaneously in an IoT environment, especially when it comes to establishing connectivity between the core network and the small subnetworks at the edge, can turn out to be quite complicated. Different components may clash creating maintenance problems.

    EADs Evolve to Support Network Transformation

    CSPs need to satisfy growing capacity needs of data centers, enterprise HQs, and inter-operator interconnection by expanding capacity of their Ethernet services. To do all this, and support SDN in Ethernet access, a new breed of EAD is needed.

    IoT Gateway Docker: Edge Computing in IIoT - Part 2

    One of the key attributes brought about by industrial IoT (IIoT) is the shift of focus to increased efficiency and lower costs using smart edge devices and Big Data analytics. However, massive data transmissions to and from many IIoT devices in remote sites, over diverse network connections and in a timely manner is challenging.

    Timing for 5G

    In this part, we would like to focus on the means to achieve the required timing accuracy goals. In particular, we would like to discuss the distributed PTP Grandmaster (GM) concept that is usually also associated with PTP-GM miniaturization.

    Timing for 5G

    Delivering sub-microsecond time accuracy to cellular base stations was one of the major challenges that cellular providers faced as they started to deploy their new LTE networks. This was further exacerbated by LTE-A’s stringent synchronization requirements and, now when 5G is at our doorstep, time accuracy requirements are being “stretched” again, challenging the boundaries of what physics can deliver.
