But it is not all business for AT&T. Last month in Dallas, Texas, AT&T rolled out the red carpet for its business customers, while spotlighting celebrities, rockstars, industry experts, and Pepper the Robot. Although this was my first year attending the AT&T Business Summit, this was actually the second year AT&T has hosted this conference…
Telehealth, the remote delivery of healthcare services and clinical information, has the potential to offset a coming crisis in the U.S. healthcare system: the shortage of qualified doctors and specialists. Telehealth not only helps to increase access to healthcare, but also has the potential to reduce healthcare costs, wait times, and geographic barriers. This is…
When a company’s all-in with the IoT (Internet of Things), it may seem like it has a one-track mind: all IoT, all the time. This week, AT&T has been that company, announcing several different ways it’s moving forward on IoT initiatives, ranging from connected-device cybersecurity to energy and building management solutions, global enterprise Wi-Fi, and…
Product Testing and Cybersecurity Cheryl Ajluni, IoT solutions lead at Keysight Technologies, a manufacturer of electronics test and measurement equipment and software, says thanks to the IoT, manufacturing is evolving from large-scale production to a MaaS (manufacturing-as-a-service) model, with technologies like 3D printing enabling mass customization. Amidst the myriad benefits of IoT adoption, however, is…
The healthcare sector accounted for more than half of all cyberattacks in 2017 and it’s often not seen as a critical industry, like power and water, when in actuality it is. It’s probably one of the most technology-reliant industries and does not invest in security the way banks and others do. Unfortunately, when something goes…
IoT (Internet of Things), AI (artificial intelligence), and ML (machine learning). All of these words are changing every industry at a very rapid clip. If you read this column a few weeks ago, you learned that machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence, in which computer systems “learn” by making data-driven decisions. The term…
Imagine a marine company saving almost a half-million dollars in fuel per vessel annually by leveraging AI (artificial intelligence); consider the effect a savings of $1.5 million per ship could have on a cruise line operator thanks to reduced fuel consumption, and ponder the impact data and AI-enabled decisionmaking could have on a tugboat operator…
The use of IoT (Internet of Things) technologies in the enterprise realm is growing by leaps and bounds, and this growth has caught the eye of cybercriminals looking to exploit vulnerabilities in connected devices and systems for their own gain. As the IoT becomes more of a focus for cybercriminals, cybersecurity must simultaneously become more…
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are having a considerable impact on the changing tide in manufacturing. The change is so impressive it is actually playing a role in many industries. Its impact is so impressive that for this column I am going to dig into the difference between AI (artificial intelligence) and machine learning. Artificial…
By 2050, the UN (United Nations) estimates 68% of the world’s population will live in urban areas, meaning an additional 2.5 billion people will rely on the infrastructure of the world’s largest cities. But roads, bridges, and electrical grids aren’t the only types of infrastructure we need in order to accommodate the influx of people…
