While we may think we are far from an automated world, it merely goes to show how well these advances in technology have been infused into our daily lives in such a way that we use them without giving a second thought.
All of this needs access to connectivity, which means you not only have to extend your network by adding more access points, but also have multiple WiFi frequency bands, such as 5Ghz, to minimise congestion. A future where more autonomous vehicles occupy roads could make a big difference toward reducing road deaths in our urban centres.
As people replace their older appliances they are automatically being pushed into a more connectivity-driven world without thinking much of it. Several of these multinational companies already have a presence in local data centres that are based in the big cities, but now organisations are even building edge data centres located at the cellular base station itself – bringing the content right next to the user, be it an individual or an organisation.
