5G spectrum for local industrial networks

May 6, 2021

Many industries are looking at 5G as the backbone of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It is a golden opportunity for communications service providers (CSPs) to create and capture new market spaces by driving innovation, efficiency, and growth across various industries.

A key factor influencing the uptake of wireless solutions is the question of how to handle spectrum for industrial purposes, since reliable connectivity demands licensed spectrum. Some countries provide spectrum dedicated for industrial use, whereas others do not. The intention of this paper is not to discuss the pros and cons of such spectrum strategies, but rather to focus on industries with local radio coverage needs. It tries to show that whether licensed spectrum is set aside for industries or not, CSPs are in the prime position to optimally address these industrial connectivity needs with powerful 5G networks and business models focused on industries. For regulators intending to implement licensed spectrum dedicated to industrial use, this paper aims to describe how this should best be done using simple principles and the well-defined legislation already available in most countries across the world.Many industries are looking at 5G as the backbone of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Accelerating High-Speed Networking with Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology

whitePaper | January 1, 2023

The emergence of multi-Gigabit Ethernet allows data centers to adapt to the increasing bandwidth requirements of enterprise IT. To take full advantage of this network capacity, data center managers must consider the impact of hightraffic volume on server resources. A compelling way of efficiently translating high bandwidth into increased throughput and enhanced quality of service is to take advantage of Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT), now available in the new Dual-Core and Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor-based server platforms. Intel I/OAT moves data more efficiently through these servers for fast, scalable, and reliable networking.
