Analysys Mason - the opportunity for LPWA solutionsTom Rebbeck
These slides, taken from our report, explore the market opportunity for LPWA solutions. The full report can be found at http://bit.ly/1uynFVO
Telecoms operators and vendors are exploring alternatives to traditional cellular technology to address the specific needs of machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) services.
These technologies – called low-power, wide-area (LPWA) solutions – have three main advantages over the traditional networks:
lower cost: the target is produce modems for less than USD5
battery powered: the aim is to get 10 years of service from one AA battery
strong propagation: LPWA will have greater propagation than traditional cellular.
These characteristics open up markets for which traditional cellular technology is unsuitable – for example, where high module costs made the business case unviable or for devices that do not have a permanent power source, such as water meters.
We believe that LPWA services can target a market of more than 3 billion M2M connections worldwide by 2023, and generate over USD10 billion from connectivity revenue alone.
2016 IDC Pan-European Utilities Summit: Open for BusinessOMNETRIC
The OMNETRIC Group's CEO, Maikel van Verseveld presented at the IDC Pan-European Utilities Summit 2016 in Italy. There he introduced attendees to the concept of, “Open for Business.” For the utility sector these days, that refers to open platforms, open ecosystems, open architectures, and of course, open-minds. After all, a lot is changing - and quickly – in the business of powering the planet.
There has been no shortage of edge computing activities during 2017, in both the telco and web-scale
domains. Several Tier One communication service providers (CSPs), including AT&T, China Mobile, and
Deutsche Telecom (DT), have announced that edge computing will be a key component of their future
network strategies and expect that several new use cases will be powered by edge servers. In the cloud
domain, Amazon, Facebook, and Google are pushing further toward the edge of their own networks, creating
more points of presence throughout the world. Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods in the United States
could also be interpreted as a first attempt to obtain real estate across the U.S. market that can be used
for Amazon’s edge servers. In fact, all major web-scale companies—Amazon, Google, and Microsoft—have
announced edge computing services that are driven by IoT use cases.
At SCWS in San Jose December 2017, SCF Chair David Orloff shared the SCF vision for the 5G Era along with some key findings from our latest operator research.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Open Source:
Opening up the
telecom world to new
opportunities and
challenges
Available via RCRWireless.com
6. What is open source?
• Most often linked to a model in which source
code for an application or architecture is
available to others to alter or help in developing.
• Term coined in the late 1990s, with the Open
Source Initiative noting the label was created at
a “strategy session” surrounding the Netscape
web browser held on Feb. 3, 1998, in Palo Alto,
California.
7. What is open source?
• By early 2000, open source received a boost
from the formation of the Open Source
Development Labs, which focused on the
deployment of the Linux platform for enterprise
computing.
• The OSDL merged with the Free Standards
Group in 2007 to form the Linux Foundation.
8. Open source in telecom
• The traditional telecommunications space has a history
of using hardware and software systems that are
proprietary to a specific vendor, though are in some
cases geared towards using similar technology standards
– such as GSM, TDMA and CDMA – making sure
telecom operators can deploy solutions from different
vendors and have them work across their network.
• This approach to using multiple vendors allowed telecom
operators to an extent to open source some of their
network operations, though not to the degree typically
connected with open source software.
9. Open source in telecom
• The telecom space has more recently begun to
take a more computing view of the open source
space, highlighted by growing operator and
vendors moves towards deployment plans using
cloud, NFV and SDN technologies.
• This is being helped by a rapidly maturing
ecosystem surrounding telecom-focused open
source platforms.
10. Open source in telecom
• Operators are also on board with the new wave
of vendors the open source world is bringing to
the market.
▫ AT&T Domain 2.0
• This ability to reach outside the traditional
vendor model was echoed by a number of
operators, who cited a chance to bring new
players and better platforms into their
operations.
11. Growing support for open source
• One key challenge for growing the support of
open source into the telecommunications space
is through various organizations that are looking
to either bolster the use of open source or build
platforms based on open source specifications.
• These efforts are seen as beneficial to operators
and vendors looking to take advantage of open
source platforms.
12. Growing support for open source
• ETSI’s recent Open Source MANO initiative
launched its OSM Release One stack.
• Work has also flourished under The Linux
Foundation umbrella with highly touted work
through OPNFV and OpenDaylight.
• In general, telecom operators seem to welcome
the help from open source organizations, noting
their ability to provide a level of stability
assurance for platforms.
13. Open source challenges
• Operators have for years denounced the dreaded
vendor lock scenario that has shackled them to a
dwindling equipment vendor community.
• But, those vendors are exceedingly familiar with
the needs of telecommunication operators and
have built a level of trust with the network
operations folks in terms of comfort with
equipment deployments.
14. Open source challenges
• The new world of open source and software is
bringing with it the web-based mindset of “fast
fail,” which is similar to the application model
where software can just be updated after it’s
released.
• That might be a good model for “Angry Birds,”
but is a different story for operators dealing with
specific and expensive service level agreements.
15. Vendor challenges
• The move towards open source has had a
somewhat divisive impact on the vendor
community, with established telecom suppliers
now having to share the attention – and budgets
– of operators with new entrants.
• One of the most cited challenges for established
vendors is the obliteration of past business
models that has come with the move towards
open source platforms.
16. Vendor challenges
• Established vendors are taking on the challenge,
with all of the big names having joined various
open source industry groups and implemented
open source platforms to some extent into their
operations.
• Established vendors can also take some solace in
the history they have with telecommunication
operators.
