Computer Weekly – 6 March 2018: Getting up to speed with 5G

In this week’s Computer Weekly, we look at what needs to be done to make next-generation 5G mobile networks a reality. Fewer EU workers are moving to the UK due to Brexit fears – we examine what that means for the IT skills gap. And we analyse the state of the hyper-converged infrastructure market and the main suppliers. 

Also featured: 

  • A court has been asked to give ministers until July 2018 to rewrite powers requiring phone and internet companies to retain data on people. The government accepts parts of its surveillance regime are unlawful.
  • Christine Walters, director of informatics at St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, explains how running a health informatics service makes a significant difference to delivering care.
  • In the last part of our buyer’s guide to customer insights, we look at how developers are adding layers of intelligence to customer analytics applications to improve sellers’ interactions with buyers.

These are also closely related to: "Impact of 5G on the Future of Storage"

  • How 5G affects data centres and how to prepare

    New 5G networks increase connectivity among IoT devices, people and services. Data centre operators must pivot quickly -- transforming containers and virtual servers to cloud services and edge computing -- or risk being left behind.

    Data centres should plan to upgrade existing infrastructure, devise new architectural approaches to handle hyperlocal edge data centres and learn how to incorporate automation for seamless 5G network management.

  • How PKI Helps to Maintain Trust for 5G

    5G is gaining traction, and adopters will benefit from significantly increased transmission speed and lower latency. However, it also comes at a cost. For the customer it’s basically device obsolescence – new devices are required to support 5G. For each telco provider the cost is even more severe: high investments into the infrastructure are needed.

    How can you address the complex requirements of your 5G network while maintaining security?

    A public key infrastructure (PKI) establishes trust between all of the entities in your network, which can users and/or devices. Read on to learn how you can leverage a PKI to prevent attacks and take control of your 5G network.
