Deutsche Telekom has made a significant stride in mobile telecommunications, achieving 12 gigabits per second in field tests using 6GHz frequencies – quite a leap from the current 5G network speeds. The German telecom giant credits this achievement to merging two data streams from different frequency antennas, a method they suggest may become standard for these bands. However, before this breakthrough can materialize, it’ll go under scrutiny during the upcoming ITU World Radiocommunications Conference.

Qualcomm and Samsung recently announced a pioneering success in telecommunications; achieving dual uplink and quadruple downlink carrier aggregation for 5G FDD spectrum. This innovation, tested using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X75 5G Modem-RF System with Samsung’s 5G radios, could provide operators increased flexibility. This trial demonstrates the potency of Advanced 5G modems in enhancing 5G connections, hinting exciting future developments in 5G. Commercial implementations of these findings are expected by late 2023.

BYOD VoIP, or “Bring Your Own Device Voice over Internet Protocol,” lets employees use personal devices like smartphones, tablets, or laptops for business calls through VoIP. This approach enhances flexibility, productivity, and cost savings, but it also poses challenges like security risks, device compatibility, and privacy concerns. Implementing BYOD VoIP effectively requires clear policies, network readiness, robust security measures, and employee training.

Explore the ‘Connected Nations’ report showcasing a promising surge in “Full Fibre” reach across the UK, now covering 52%. However, a static picture emerges for “superfast broadband” stuck at 97%, while Gigabit broadband registers a rise, and changes in 3G usage towards obsolescence are also highlighted. Further, discussions on smart devices over-harvesting consumer data and potential changes in the nation’s broadband landscape spark curiosity.

In a promising move towards transparency, UK’s BT and software giant SAP have joined forces to test SAP’s Sustainability Data Exchange (SDX) – a novel system that captures, tracks and shares data on obscure, indirect emissions, known as Scope 3. Given the numerous entities and different methodologies involved in disclosure, SDX utilizes carbon data interoperability standards to provide a unified portal for monitoring supply chain emissions data, thus streamlining the gathering and dissemination of precise Scope 3 information.
