All about telcos in less than 3 minutes! For this last week of the year 2021, the editorial staff of ZDNet offers thematic playlists from ZD Tech. The opportunity to come back today to the VoLTE revolution, 6G specifications, fiber optic noodle dishes, British telephone booths, and 5G and health.
The VoLTE revolution
Bouygues Telecom innovated in France in 2015 by offering this option to its subscribers, followed by Orange and SFR a few months later. Free for his part resisted … six years in this fashion. This is before recently announcing the arrival of VoLTE on its 4G and 5G networks.
What specifications for 6G?
Hang on tight, firstly when it comes to latency, the expected response times for 6G should drop below 0.1 milliseconds. Level speeds, Nokia evokes a theoretical speed going beyond the bar of 100 Gb / s. To achieve this performance, AI and machine learning should automate the management of 6G traffic, including in the core network.
Noodle dishes, a real plague of fiber optics
The tangle of cables and wires that too often drip from telecom cabinets is always a problem. Social networks are also full of clichés exposing these piles of cables that literally spew out of these cabinets. Cabinets which, in theory, should however be organized with a cord by the technicians of the fiber.
What to do with the British red cabins?
These phone booths are no longer used for much, except for decorum for tourists and other Instagram aficionados. Fortunately, the British authorities are well aware of the risk of brain death weighing on this priceless heritage of their street furniture.
5G and health
5G is far from unanimous. For its detractors, it’s quite simple, 5G is above all synonymous with dangers. Environmental hazard first. 5G is accused of participating in the increase in data consumption, and therefore electricity. Health hazard then. 5G is also singled out for the explosion of electromagnetic waves it could generate.
