New South Wales (NSW) Telco Authority has selected the NEC Corporation to build phase one of a 5G innovation lab as part of a new partnership. The lab will provide an environment where the NSW Telco Authority and public safety agencies can explore new technologies, prove interoperability and push the boundaries of mobile tech. “This first phase of the 5G innovation lab helps the NSW Telco Authority test the latest cloud-native core technology alongside Open RAN, explore cloud deployment options (to align with the NSW government‘s ‘public cloud first’ policy), build PSMB use cases and provide emergency services with the mobile broadband capacity to facilitate comms and better situational awareness,” said general manager of NEC’s 5G strategy and business, Naohisa Matsuda. Using AWS, the lab will offer immersive 5G testbed experiences in the cloud, enabling simple application building, rapid deployment, scalability, resilience and life cycle automation.
Cost-saving has never been more crucial, and so Ateliere’s recent launch of a free- to-use cloud storage savings calculator couldn’t have been better timed. It allows content creators to visualise the extent to which the deduplication of video files can save financially, in particular when using Ateliere’s proprietary deduplication technology. Many of today’s content creators produce multiple versions of media projects and titles to meet localisation, compliance and other distribution requirements. Storing duplicate media can account for additional terabytes of unnecessary cloud storage expense. SAVING FOR A RAINY DAY
