it was hard to escape predictions that artificial intelligence is about to
change the world. In 2018, this is unlikely to change. However, an increased
focus on repeatable and quantifiable results is likely to ground some of the
“big picture” thinking in reality.

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">While it’s been trending for a few years
now, Internet of Things (IOT) security will rise to the top of the
security trend list in 2018. IoT security is a complex and multifaceted
problem, and one that affects all organizations. Organizations need to be
proactive with the security of their IoT devices, whether it’s those they
produce or those they consume. </span><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue LT W01_71488914",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">By 2022,

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Blockchain
is a digital ledger in which transactions made in bitcoin or other
cryptocurrency are recorded in date order and publicly. The benefit is that
this removes business friction by being independent of individual applications
or participants, and can potentially allow untrusted parties to exchange
commercial transactions, but caution is still advised when dealing with
blockchain and the regulations behind it (or the lack thereof). This technology
holds the promise to change industries, and although the conversation often
surrounds financial opportunities, blockchain has many potential applications
in government, healthcare, content distribution, supply chain and more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

current trend by 2020 visual and voice search will increase digital commerce
revenue by 28%. With visual and voice search gaining lot of momentum and on the
way to being dominant touch screen device search modes, enterprises should
experiment to identify the best ways to capitalize on this consumer shift.

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">In 2018, we’ll see an aggressive move to consolidate IT platforms so
companies can respond to market changes faster, be more productive and make
better-informed decisions. These common platforms are rich in analytics, follow
the information flow of the business and are simple enough that users can
constantly change the business without writing (much) code. Moreover, they
bring an operational and evergreen scale to traditionally bespoke enterprise
IT. These common platforms — from Amazon, Microsoft, Google and
others — provide very suitable if not substantially improved replacements for what
used to be custom builds. Common platform will provide not only a foundation to
improve processes, but also telemetry and insights. For smart adopters, we may
see twofold to fivefold business acceleration.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

performance to big data, SDS enhances storage system intelligence out of
hardware into a layer of software that manages the entire storage
infrastructure as a single entity. Software-defined storage data centers are

Computing, in the context of IoT, is the idea that you can actually do some of
the computational work required by a system close to the endpoints instead of
in a cloud or a data center. The intent is to minimize latency, which,
according to Renaud, means that it’s going to be a hot trend in certain kinds
of industrial IoT application. The hottest trend is the use of dedicated
edge boxes to connect brownfield devices or to do some form of low-latency
analytics or control-plane applications.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The world of enterprise Wi-Fi moves fast, but 2018 is going to see gear based on 802.11ac Wave 2 remain the state of the art – its successor, 802.11ax, is still one for the future.<br /><br />Wave 2 is the latest Wi-Fi standard to be certified by the IEEE. Its main technological innovation is MU-MIMO, or multi-user multiple-input, multiple-output. In practice, this means that manufacturers can create access points that talk to multiple devices at the same instant. Earlier APs had to handle multiple streams sequentially. The Wave 2 standard could open the door for gigabit Wi-Fi, though. The PHY (physical) rate, which in turn affects the throughput rate of data transfer, is much higher in Wave 2. Wave 1 PHY rate <a href="http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/enterprise-networks/802-11ac-solution/q-and-a-c67-734152.html">maxes out at 1.3 Gbps</a>, while Wave 2 can be 2.34 Gbps. Even if the throughput was 50% lower than the theoretical PHY rate for Wave 2, in theory it would still be above 1 Gbps.<br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Few other

<h4 class="js-post-title post-title" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85098); font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 2.6rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 3.2rem; margin: 0px 0px 8px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" tabindex="-1">
Android O feature spotlight:</h4>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<b>1. Connectivity enhancements : </b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<b></b>Automatically enable WiFi when you're near a saved network, There's a toggle for this feature in the O preview WiFi settings, but it's grayed out along with the open network notification. Although, it's off whereas the network notification is stuck on. Presumably this will be accessible in a future version of Android O. We've still got three more builds before the final one.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<b></b><br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-weight: bold;">
<b>2. Picture-in-Picture mode</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols;">
Picture-in-picture, which is already available on Android TV, is coming to Android O. This is mostly used for video playback. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Android O won't be restricted to phones, so there will be improved arrow and tab key navigation for when used with a physical keyboard.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-weight: bold;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-weight: bold;">
<b>3. Multi-display support</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols;">
Interestingly, Android O will be able to support multiple displays, allowing a user to move an activity to one screen to the next.</div>
<b></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<b>4. Notifications in Android O</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Many of the new features regard notifications, and in Android O we will see user-customisable notification channels whereby alerts are grouped by type. Users will be able to snooze notifications, and devs can set time limits for notifications to time out. Also adjustable will be the background colours of notifications, and the messaging style.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<b>5. Background limits</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
In Android Nougat Google introduced the ability to restrict certain app activities in the background, and in Android O it improves on this by placing the priority on extending battery life without user-input.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<b>6. Better management of cached data</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Every app will have a storage space quota for cached data, and when the system needs to free up disk space it will delete data from apps using more than their allocated quota first.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<b>7. New enterprise features</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Google says it has made the profile owner and device owner management modes more powerful, productive and easier to provision than ever, with highlights including the ability to use a managed profile on a corporate-owned device and enterprise management for file-based encryption.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
You can read about the new updates coming to Android O in more detail over on the Android Developer's site.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<b>8. Copy Less</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
This feature is expected to ease copying text from one app and pasting it within another by giving suggestions in the second app as to what you might be about to type based on what you were doing in the previous app.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<b>9. Improved gestures</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Today you can quickly call up your contacts using Ok Google, but in Android O you will be able to draw onscreen the letter C to open your contacts menu. This is similar to what we've seen in many Chinese phones - the ability to in standby mode draw onscreen a letter and open an app of your choice - though here it should work when the screen is switched on and in any app. This feature may not be ready in time for Android O, however, the source warned.</div>

<br /><br />Bluetooth technology is already embedded in current day to day lives, and it will continue to have an impact to make “Things” smarter. Instrumentation can become smarter with wireless data capture. Wireless data reporting, or capturing, offers convenience and efficiency to many different industries. Spectrum and reliability of Bluetooth would be a good differentiator.<br /><br />In the Education field, Teachers can quickly monitor student’s reports/status from a mobile device instead of walking from room to room and paying attention to everyone. Consumers can enjoy music from their wireless Bluetooth headphones and track their heartbeat and progress from a wearable, Bluetooth-connected device while running. House doors can be unlocked and lights can be turned on or off by simply touching your smartphone. Even industrial machines can be monitored and controlled by a Bluetooth-connected device to determine their status or predictive maintenance needs. Bluetooth beacons would be available with different options. <br /><br />Bluetooth, which operates in the 2.4 GHz band using frequency hopping spread spectrum on 79 1-megahertz channels, has kept pace with technological evolution and found a place in both consumer-facing “Internet of Things” uses – smart homes and wearables, for instance – as well as in the industrial “Internet of Things” where adaptability and reliability are requisites.<br /><br />Expectations for more immediate control of network-connected IoT devices through smartphone apps translates into a growing need for simultaneous connectivity to Bluetooth mobile devices and 802.15.4 networks. For example, users will expect to interact through their smartphones directly with an IoT device in an appliance even while that same device communicates with the cloud for overall home management services or if the device temporarily loses its cloud connection.<br /><br /> <br /><br />To make this point, let’s take a look at a new Bluetooth module from Silicon Labs. The <a href="http://www.silabs.com/products/wireless/bluetooth/bluetooth-smart-modules/Pages/bgm113-bluetooth-smart-module.aspx">Blue Gecko BGM113 module</a> has a 3-decibel mill watt power output optimized for applications with a 150-foot range; the company says this is a good fit for “smartphone accessories, wearable sports and fitness products, wireless locks and point-of-sale devices.”<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />In keeping with IoT product trends in both the industrial and consumer space, unit price and battery life are huge considerations. These items are most important factors for Industrial IOT.<br /><br /><br />Bluetooth low energy also provides much lower power consumption than Classic, which is useful in battery operated systems such as wireless sensors.” </div>

The use of drones has typically been the place of enthusiasts – interested in flying drones as a hobby because people enjoy flying and/or enjoy creating videos of surrounding scenery. However, drones are no longer just the personal toys of the enthusiasts and have been opened up to a wider commercial purpose.</div>

A variety of other trends have led to an increased number of sensors embedded in many technologies and devices that we use personally and professionally. They become smarter as they gather more data on our daily patterns. More apps are being built to be plugged together, and the value of the combination is much greater than the sum of the parts. So much focus on this from industry and analysts.(Gartner in particular)</div>

Developers should find new ways for perimeter defense, to detect, respond, and predict attacks through continuous blocking and adapting application scenarios. Apps should have ways to protect themselves, with security people involved at the design phase; and this needs to be supported by test and field diagnostics. Its mandatory to be reviewed by systems that continuously analyzes user and entity behavior. New architectures built around field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are being used for things such as face recognition. Due to adaptive changes in technology and gadgets its very important to have such architecture in place for personal and professional security.</div>

Bluetooth powered Beacons 'lighthouses' – are now being installed in shopping malls, museums, hotels, airports and even offices that can track the exact location of a smartphone or smart watch wearer, and send them real-time notifications. So far it's been rather lamely talked up as a way of texting vouchers to passing shoppers, but beyond mobile commerce the spread of intelligent, wireless Bluetooth beacon hardware also means indoor mapping and much, much more. At any rate, Bluetooth beacons are about to emerge as the links within, and between, the Internet of Things, the smart city and the smart home.</div>

Everyday video consumption growing and current infrastructure is not capable to support it, so underplaying Content delivery networks, have been forced to scale to keep up; even with best scaling algorithms or best available Hardware’s, single CDN architecture is not enough for current video usage. As 4K, 8K and now 11K (<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/11k-mobile-display-3d-capabilities-rajeev-tiwari-acp-" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #8c68cb; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/11k-mobile-display-3d-capabilities-rajeev-tiwari-acp-</a> ) and higher bitrates become more commonplace.</div>

Dynamic CDN setups can be handed by a big telecom giant and sometimes in a singular product. Mobile networks will also add valuable points, with an estimated 150,000+ petabytes of mobile video streaming usage predicted in 2019, the importance of mobile network optimization and QoE will continue to affect a majority of viewers.</div>

Irrespective of mobile video streaming or traditional telecom providers service providers are primarily focused on minimizing the Quality of experience, which can reduce content delivery on mobile devices without any unwanted delay. Number of new innovations added around Congestion detection, Congestion minimization, Congestion elimination, Dynamic Bandwidth shaping, effective network topologies etc. and many more Biggest challenge for telecom operators to reduce the RTT delivery.</div>

<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Cloud computing comes in three forms: public clouds, private clouds, and hybrids clouds. Depending on the type of data you're working with, you'll want to compare public, private, and hybrid clouds in terms of the different levels of security and management required </span><br /><br /><u>Public Cloud </u><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">A public cloud is one in which the services and infrastructure are provided off-site over the Internet. These clouds offer the greatest level of efficiency in shared resources; however, they are also more vulnerable than private clouds. A public cloud is the obvious choice when </span><div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Used to run operations significantly more efficient, for example, with the storage of non-sensitive content, like online document collaboration, emails and more.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Your standardized workload for applications is used by lots of people, such as e-mail.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">You need to test and develop application code.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">You have SaaS (Software as a Service) applications from a vendor who has a well-implemented security strategy.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">You need incremental capacity (the ability to add computer capacity for peak times).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">You’re doing collaboration projects.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">You’re doing an ad-hoc software development project using a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering cloud.</span></li>
</ul>
<u>Private Cloud</u><br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">A private cloud allows customers the benefits of cloud computing—self-service, automation, consolidation and metered usage—but behind the safety of their firewall on their own virtual private network. Although there are many advantages to the public cloud, enterprises very rarely deploy 100% of their applications into the public cloud. Logistically, it is often much simpler to move from your on-premises environment to a private cloud than from on-premises to public cloud. Private cloud environments can be configured to support any application, just as your datacenter currently hosts it. Private cloud is an especially attractive option if certain features in legacy applications prevent some applications from operating well in the public cloud. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">Ideally suited for any organization that needs to store and process private data or carry out sensitive tasks. A private cloud could be utilized by companies that are required by regulation to store sensitive data internally and who will still want to benefit from some of the advantages of cloud computing inside their business infrastructure, like on-demand resource allocation. </span><br /><br /><u>Hybrid Cloud: </u><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">With hybrid clouds, organizations mix and match public- and private-cloud resources based on technical and business requirements. For example, an organization may run an application primarily in its private cloud, but tap into public-cloud resources during periods of peak demand. Or it may run an application primarily in a public- cloud environment while keeping some data relating to that application in its private cloud for compliance reasons. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">A hybrid cloud could also theoretically consist of multiple private and/or public clouds. The enterprise data center denoted in the illustration may have active servers (virtualized or physical) that are not included in the private cloud. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">Important benefits o Operational flexibility: run mission critical on private cloud, dev/test on public cloud o Scalability: run peak and bursty workloads on the public cloud.</span>

Private cloud refers to cloud infrastructure dedicated to a single company and
accessed by a private network connection, operating on servers managed either
internally or by a third-party provider. For many organizations in highly
regulated industries, private clouds remain the solution of choice. Cloud
infrastructure platforms such as <u><span style="color: #0000e9;"><a href="http://streamingcodecs.blogspot.com/2015/01/openstack-dominance-what-to-look-for-in.html">OpenStack </a></span></u>offer

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<u><i>Internet of Everything (IOE)</i></u></h3>
Many people are familiar with the concept of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_Things">Internet of Things</a> (IoT). Which defines it as "a proposed development of the Internet in which everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data." Therefore, it's not surprising that people might be confused when we start talking about the Internet of Everything (IoE). <br />What? and Why are we talking about IOE? Is IoE simply a rebranding of IoT?<br />IOE is a technology concept that sees previously unconnected objects and processes being converged with the ones that are digital-first by their nature. This all-encompassing convergence of physical and digital domains is set to disrupt individual organizations and entire industries like nothing before.<br />According to Cisco IOE is"The latest wave in the Internet’s evolution, IoE is the networked connection of people, process, data, and things. It represents the confluence of multiple technology trends: mobility (ubiquitous high-speed mobile networks, smart devices, and apps); cloud computing; social networks; instant collaboration with anyone, anywhere; data analytics; and finally, an explosion in connected “things,” via inexpensive, intelligent sensors. IoE brings these elements together through standards-based IP networks, and Cisco projects that it will generate a staggering $19 trillion in value over the next 10 years”<br />ref: <a href="http://internetofeverything.cisco.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/public_sector_jurisdiction_top_ten_insights_final.pdf">http://internetofeverything.cisco.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/public_sector_jurisdiction_top_ten_insights_final.pdf</a><div>
<a href="http://internetofeverything.cisco.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/public_sector_jurisdiction_top_ten_insights_final.pdf"><br /></a> IoE will continue to create a platform of connected solutions, sensors and networks built off of sometimes sensitive data and personal information. This platform is something that will always need to be secured – in fact, the security challenges that come with the IoE will only increase down the road. Security should be thought of as a process, not a tool or a solution.

<br />Current Industry research shows about 24% of consumers indicated their intent to purchase a 4K TV in the next 6-9 months.<br /><br />Company’s likes of LG, Sony and Samsung to Netflix and Google's YouTube are putting their money into TVs that pack more pixels. Several models are on display at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week.<br /><br />4K offer about four times the number of pixels compared to high-definition or 1080p. As of now, you can watch a select list of more than 70 4K films and TV shows, such as Breaking Bad and The Amazing Spider-Man.<br /><br />But, content providers and online distributors including Netflix, YouTube and Amazon have announced plans to stream content in 4K, including season two of Netflix's House of Cards. Some movies and shows are already being shot at this higher resolution, but despite the buzz, companies still have some significant hurdles to overcome.<br /><br /><b>Higher the Pixels, More the data consumption</b><br /><br />An image with four times (8 times for the 8K) the pixels means a lot more data to transmit. In order to transmit such higher resolution we need good bandwidth that will cause more data consumption. YouTube and other video providers are still struggling to get this workout most of the YouTube 4K UHD videos totally un watchable or choppy or even streaming is not smooth. We need to upgrade the hardware to keep up with higher BW needs 4K/8K video streaming places huge overhead on broadband networks. There are certain limitation with current H.265 (or HEVC) and even Google's own VP9 compression standard, true broadcast-quality 4K requires around 23-29 Mbps of dedicated network capacity per stream.<br /><br />When millions of people receiving 4K/8K streams, total network traffic will exceed 100's of petabyte. Looking around such massive amounts of video traffic, the biggest challenge facing the 4K/8K industry is the construction of network infrastructure that can deliver 4K/8Kstreams — without glitches or delays — to millions of users. re-engineering of the network infrastructure is required. Big players like Comcast already announce for 4K STB support. <br /><br /><b>Display port and capability also increased to support UHD streams.</b><br />However, yesterday’s legacy networks weren’t built for this type of bandwidth-heavy data transfer. And today’s HD and high-resolution video is putting even more strain on available network capacity.<br /><br />With files only bound to get bigger as we head into the 4K and 8K era, it’s clear these legacy networks built to support limited SD video will not be able to cope with the increased demand. So, network architectures must evolve to efficiently and effectively support the transfer of next generation video formats. Specifically, the network must be both scalable to meet the significant bandwidth demands as well as programmable to deliver the exact service performance required. This transformation will involve the consolidation of multiple, discreet and single-use legacy networks into high capacity, secure and low-Latency packet-optical infrastructures. It’s easier to maintain picture quality when you can keep it in its raw form, Packet-optical networks have the capacity to transport HD and other video formats, and can do so far quicker than a legacy network. With coherent optical transmission, distance is not an issue as, so data transfers from an external venue (sports ground, for instance) to the studio are quick and relatively painless.<br /><br />Fault/Disaster recovery is becoming more important, and having a plan for media and entertainment companies invariably requires the need to maintain constant access to in-production and archived content. A packet-optical network opens up greater options and resolutions when faced with a disaster like an unexpected network interruption or power outage as meshed optical connections can readily include a connection between a mirrored broadcast sites. <br /><br />The driver of global demand, and the price drop, will be South Asia. More than million 4K TVs were sold in South asia in 2013-2014, with demand expected to keep growing. South Asia will lead the global demand for 4K/8K TV's for next few years..<br /><br /><a href="http://corporate.comcast.com/news-information/news-feed/comcast-to-launch-4k-uhd-set-top-box" target="_blank">http://corporate.comcast.com/news-information/news-feed/comcast-to-launch-4k-uhd-set-top-box</a><br /><br /><b>4K broadcasts already started</b><br /><br />Though we’re still some way off getting live 4K TV broadcasts, there are certainly plans afoot. Firstly, the BBC has said it aims to broadcast 4K as ‘standard’ by 2016, following a comprehensive survey that found 23% of users would benefit from 4K broadcasts right now. And on the pay TV side, both BT and Sky are rumored to be preparing to launch 4K set-top boxes before the end of 2015.<br /><br /><b>Tata Sky, Comcast already announce their plans for 4K supported STB’s</b><br /><br />It won’t happen overnight and there may not be an instant flood of content, but it’s clear that broadcasters think the market is now right to make the first step. Some major Changes from Big Giants in 4K broadcasting Space. <br /><br /><b>Apple TV’s 4K Future</b><br /><br />The new Apple TV will be 4K capable, but not 4K enabled. This distinction is critical to understanding what’s really happening with Apple and television. And then, having tied-up the 5K rights, Apple would reveal that the 5K Apple TV can down-convert to 4K for “degraded” displays, the whole point having been tying-up the rights, not really streaming 5K.<br /><br /><b>Samsung Galaxy Note 5 With 4K Displays </b><br /><br />Currently rumored to launch as Galaxy Note 5, it is expected to feature a 2K (1600×2560) or 4K (2160×3840) Super AMOLED display while being powered by the firm’s own Exynos 7422 processor. Sam Mobile citing people familiar with the matter claims that the Exynos 7422 might be the South Korean company’s first all-in-one solution, which will include the CPU, GPU,RAM, storage and modem on a single chip CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, and modem on a single chip<br /><br /><b>COMCAST SET TO RELEASE A 4K UHD CABLE BOX LATER THIS YEAR</b><br /><br />While 4K UHD TVs have been on shelves for years, content that will actually utilize all those bursting extra pixels has been hard to come by, to say the least. However, subscribers to Comcast’s Xfinity service may soon be able to see some 4K light at the end of the tunnel.<br /><br />References:<br /><br />1. <a href="http://corporate.comcast.com/news-information/news-feed/comcast-to-launch-4k-uhd-set-top-box">http://corporate.comcast.com/news-information/news-feed/comcast-to-launch-4k-uhd-set-top-box</a><br /><br />2. <a href="http://betanews.com/2015/05/28/apple-tvs-4k-future/">http://betanews.com/2015/05/28/apple-tvs-4k-future/</a><br /><br />3. <a href="http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/samsung-galaxy-note-5-with-4k-display-and-project-zen-dual-edge-variant-tipped-690119">http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/samsung-galaxy-note-5-with-4k-display-and-project-zen-dual-edge-variant-tipped-690119</a><br /><br />4. <a href="http://news.softpedia.com/news/French-Company-Presents-256-Core-28-nm-Processor-296942.shtml">http://news.softpedia.com/news/French-Company-Presents-256-Core-28-nm-Processor-296942.shtml</a><br /><br />5. <a href="http://www.extremetech.com/electronics/190130-displayport-1-3-unveiled-32-4-gbps-bandwidth-support-for-4k-60-fps-5k-and-8k">http://www.extremetech.com/electronics/190130-displayport-1-3-unveiled-32-4-gbps-bandwidth-support-for-4k-60-fps-5k-and-8k</a><br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Apache Hadoop is 100% open source, and pioneered a
fundamentally new way of storing and processing data. Instead of relying on
expensive, proprietary hardware and different systems to store and process
data, Hadoop enables distributed parallel processing of huge amounts of data
across inexpensive, industry-standard servers that both store and process the
data, and can scale without limits. With Hadoop, no data is too big. And in
today’s hyper-connected world where more and more data is being created every
day, Hadoop’s breakthrough advantages mean that businesses and organizations
can now find value in data that was recently considered useless. One of the
cost advantages of Hadoop is that because it relies in an internally redundant
data structure and is deployed on industry standard servers rather than
expensive specialized data storage systems, you can afford to store data not
previously viable. And we all know that once data is on tape, it’s essentially
the same as if it had been deleted - accessible only in extreme circumstances.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since last decade, companies have been struggling to
figure out how to deal with all of the new data that is streaming in all around
them. From smartphones to production line sensors, everything is generating
data. Apache Hadoop has become the go-to solution for storing and
processing big data, and it provides a distinct competitive advantage for
organizations across industries in several key functional areas, including
security and risk management, marketing optimization, operational intelligence,
the enterprise data hub, and the Internet of Things. Let’s take a closer look
at these core functions that benefit from Hadoop enterprise solutions. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">Data
Velocity, Data Security and Risk Management</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As Data fraud, velocity and professional security breaches
are becoming more frequent and typical and old fashioned security solutions
just not up to the challenge of reliably protecting your company assets.
Hadoop, can help your organization analyze large amounts and different types of
data in real time, secure the speed of threat analysis, and improve
ability to assess risk by using great machine learning models. As an
example, Solutionary, a leading Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), took
their security solutions to the next level by implementing the Cisco UCS Common
Platform Architecture (CPA) for Big Data with MapR. This joint solution made it
possible for Solutionary to perform real-time analysis on big data in order to
help protect and defend against sophisticated, and organized adversaries.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">Operational
Intelligence</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If we want to remain competitive, we should look
forward for ways to benefit our organization’s productivity and profitability.
But even when it seems that our operations have been properly analyzed and
optimized, we still can make subtle changes in operating environments in
order to realize even greater improvement. By taking a wide variety of granular
measurements from sensors, you can track patterns in operations to find new
ways to optimize your organization. Cisco provides infrastructure and analytics
to support Hadoop distributions such as MapR, and this type of joint solution
can give you the ability to evaluate data at the speed your business demands.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">Sales
and Business Marketing Optimization</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Current growth of social media channels which customers are
using can make it seem like you’re drowning in data in an effort to better
understand your customers. Hadoop can be used to cost-effectively integrate and
analyze your disparate data in order to gain richer customer insights, develop
personalized real-time customer relationships, and increase revenue.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Specific uses cases in sales and business marketing
optimization include data analysis, audio/video advertising optimization,
recommendation engine and targeting, social media analysis, and round the clock
customer view. As an example many data analytics’ and business intelligence
company, provides consumer insights, retail measurement, product libraries,
analytics reporting, and consulting services for retail and manufacturing
clients<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">Data
Enterprise Hub</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hadoop can be used as a cost-effective data enterprise hub
(DEH) to store, transform, cleanse, filter, analyze and gain new value from all
kinds of data. Building a successful DEH starts with selecting the right
technology in three key areas: infrastructure, a foundational system to drive
DEH applications, and the data processing platform. For example, the Cisco
Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) Integrated Infrastructure for Big Data
can be used to reliably run your EDH. This solution delivers a highly scalable
platform that is proven for enterprise applications, and can be deployed with a
Hadoop distribution such as MapR, which is especially well-suited to take
advantage of the compute and I/O bandwidth of Cisco UCS.Specific use cases in
the EDH area include collecting raw data in a data lake, data refining, big
data exploration, data warehouse optimization, and mainframe optimization.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">Internet
of Things</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The four main areas of uses cases for the Internet of Things
include personal IoT (smartphones, fitness devices), group IoT (family in a
smart house, tourist group), community IoT (smart cities and roads), and
industrial IoT (smart factories, retailer supply chains). The partnership
between Cisco and MapR provides you with an infrastructure that can readily
handle the massive amounts of real-time big data from the Internet of Things.</div>

<br />
<br />Good news for users of Vine: you can now see better-looking video clips following an upgrade to the Twitter-owned six-second video service.<br /><br />Vine Official Mr Mike Kaplinskiy confirmed that Vine now allow support for 720p videos.<br /><br /><div>
Vine's blog post suggests that it's bumping the resolution of each video up from 480p to 720p, which is a decent improvement. Of course, the videos still look somewhat compressed so that they can be quickly loaded on mobile, but it's an important jump nonetheless. On iOS, it sounds like new Vines will immediately start uploading in high def. As for Android, you guessed it: the feature is coming "soon."</div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;">Openstack is a set of software tools for
building and managing cloud computing platforms for public, private and hybrid
clouds. Backed by some of the biggest companies in software development and
hosting, as well as thousands of individual community members, many think that
OpenStack is the future of cloud computing. OpenStack is managed by the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.openstack.org/foundation/"><span style="color: #0066cc;">OpenStack
Foundation</span></a>, a non-profit which oversees both development and
community-building around the project.<u1:p></u1:p></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 15.75pt; margin: 9pt 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;">The cloud is all about providing
computing for end users in a remote environment, where the actual software runs
as a service on reliable and scalable servers rather than on each end users
computer. Cloud computing can refer to a lot of different things, but typically
the industry talks about running different items "as a
service"—software, platforms, and infrastructure. OpenStack falls into the
latter category and is considered Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Providing
infrastructure means that OpenStack makes it easy for users to quickly add new
instance, upon which other cloud components can run. Typically, the
infrastructure then runs a "platform" upon which a developer can
create software applications which are delivered to the end users.<u1:p></u1:p></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;">Open stack comprise of many different
parts. Because of its open nature, anyone can add additional components to
OpenStack to help it to meet their needs. Just to make some standard around
OpenStack community has collaboratively identified nine key components that are
a part of the "core" of OpenStack, which are distributed as a part of
any OpenStack system and officially maintained by the OpenStack community</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.5pt;">.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;">OpenStack consists of seven core

OpenStack gained significant traction in 2014 and is becoming a major platform
for establishing clouds and data centers. The advantages of OpenStack are
openness and higher levels of scalability and agility that address the needs of

orchestration software and thus don't provide the openness and choice that
customers expect. Retrofitting Converged Systems to leverage OpenStack is not
trivial and cannot meet the scalability and agility levels of Hyper-Convergence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
Over the last four years, YouTube have worked with browser vendors and the broader community to close those gaps, and now, YouTube uses HTML5 <video> by default in Chrome, IE 11, Safari 8 and in beta versions of Firefox.<br />
<br />
The benefits of HTML5 extend beyond web browsers, and it's now also used in smart TVs and other streaming devices. Here are a few key technologies that have enabled this critical step forward: <br />
<br />
By switching to HTML5, YouTube can now also make wider use of Google’s VP9 codec. <br />
YouTube says this switch allows videos to start 15 to 80 percent faster and reduces the average bandwidth needed to stream a video by 35 percent. That may not seem like a big deal right now, but once you start streaming 4k video, that 35 percent reduction could be the difference between enjoying the video or staring at the “buffering” screen. YouTube started streaming VP9 videos in 2013 and has since served “hundreds of billions of VP9 videos.”<br />
<br />
Now that HTML5 video is the default on YouTube, Google is deprecating its old-style <object> Flash embeds and its <a href="https://developers.google.com/youtube/flash_api_reference">Flash API</a>. YouTube recommends you only use its <a href="https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference"><iframe> embeds</a> to embed videos going forward because that allows it to use whatever technology your visitors’ browsers support.<br />
<br />
<br />
HTML5 video player uses a <a href="https://w3c.github.io/media-source/">Media Source Extension</a> feature called adaptive bitrate which adjust video quality on the fly depending on network conditions, reduced buffering by more than 50 percent globally and as much as 80 percent on heavily-congested networks.<br />

<b>iOS apps Testing</b><br />
<br />
Testing native iOS apps has had a bad rap in the past, especially when it comes to test automation. It has proven to be difficult, time-consuming, and the tools were not as capable as they are on other platforms (most notably Java). Positive note, the round trip from making an edit in the code, to compiling, to deploying and debugging is extremely fast when using the iOS Simulator. This helps cut test execution time down considerable compared to Android. Great strides have been made since iOS 8 and Xcode 6 have been out, so if you have not looked into automated testing of your iOS apps in a while, you may want to take a second look.<br />
<br />
<b>XCTest –</b> Out of the box, iOS developers have access to a respectable unit testing framework know as XCTest. Think of unit testing as testing the code from the inside out. Looking at the internal operations under the covers, a well written suite of XCTests can quickly point to where problems are in your code base as you update to newer iOS versions. By default, all projects created from within Xcode generate an initial test suite that developers can expand upon.<br />
<br />
<b>OCMock/OCMockito</b> – Mocking is a <a href="http://martinfowler.com/articles/mocksArentStubs.html">testing technique used to mimic situations</a> that are difficult to reliable create in a repeatable and predictable fashion during the execution of a test. An example would be to replicate a trade on Wall Street or a bank transaction, something you may not want to do for real over and over again all day long. <a href="http://ocmock.org/">OCMock</a> and <a href="https://github.com/jonreid/OCMockito">OCMokito</a> are two popular testing frameworks that allow developers to create more reliable testing environments that do not depend on the availability of complex back-end systems in order to provide an assessment of the overall health of the code.<br />
<br />
<b>Xcode Service and Continuous Integration</b> – <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/xcode_guide-continuous_integration/000-About_Continuous_Integration/about_continuous_integration.html">Continuous Integration</a> refers to a technique in development that all code changes that are saved to the system (referred to as the code repository) are compiled and tested on an automated and continuous basis. Monitoring the overall health of your code can alert developers when a potential problem is first introduced to the code. There is typically a very visible and accessible report that allows developers to know exactly when something has gone wrong during development. That way there is nothing that any one developer can do without every developer instantly knowing about it; good or bad. <a href="http://help.apple.com/serverapp/mac/4.0/#/apdEC37D10C-B277-4C06-9E1F-8DCB0A5970EB">XCode Service</a> has made monitoring the health of iOS project as easy as possible.<br />
<br />
<b>Automating UI Testing with Instruments </b>– Apple has always <a href="https://gigaom.com/2010/08/04/apples-instruments-for-developers/">provided a rich set of instruments that helped developers</a> know what was going on inside its apps. From memory leaks, random crashes, and battery drains, instruments have proven to be an invaluable tool when it comes to writing high quality and dependable apps. Automating the <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/InstrumentsUserGuide/UsingtheAutomationInstrument/UsingtheAutomationInstrument.html">testing of the user interface</a> is no exception. Where unit tests test the app from the inside out, user interface tests test the app from the outside in. Now developers can create test scripts that will execute tests over and over again against the user interface to ensure that changes they make do not break anything they thought they were done developing.<br />
<b><br />Android App Testing</b><br />
<br />
The biggest challenge to automated testing on Android has been test execution time. Even when leveraging the maturity of testing technologies that have evolved on the Java platform, it can still take hours for a suite of tests to complete. This is due primarily to the use of emulators in testing: emulators can slow development to a crawl at times.<br />
<br />
Tethering a device to an automated test server can take a test device away from a developer or tester, but does prove to run things a lot faster. There are faster emulators out there like <a href="https://www.genymotion.com/">GenyMotion</a>, but even then, looking for an even faster solution can make the difference in how often the tests get executed by members of your development team.<br />
<br />
Another difference you will find when comparing iOS to Android is that for iOS, there is typically one and only one way to do things: the Apple way. With Android there are almost always more than two or three ways to accomplish about the same thing; unit testing, mocking, continuous integration and user interface testing.<br />
<br />
<b>JUnit/JUnit 4 –</b> While the default Android testing API for unit testing, <a href="http://developer.android.com/tools/testing/testing_android.html">AndroidTestCase, is based on the JUnit 3 API</a>, you can now consider switching to JUnit 4 to unit test your Android apps by using <a href="https://code.google.com/p/android-test-kit/wiki/AndroidJUnitRunnerUserGuide">AndroidJUnitRunner</a>. Like XCTest on iOS, JUnit is a unit testing framework meant to test how your app works on the inside. This is a developer’s first level of defense when trying to keep the quality of code that worked perfectly well when it was first written, from breaking some time down the road.<br />
<br />
<b>Mockito/Robolectric –</b> While <a href="http://mockito.org/">Mokito</a> is more of a traditional mocking framework that can be used on the device or within an emulator, <a href="http://robolectric.org/">Robolectric</a> is more of a replacement of the emulator or device entirely. Almost an “uber mock” if you will, Robolectric allows developers to execute tests almost anywhere. The advantage that Robolectric brings to the table is speed, you will find that your tests perform much faster, sometimes an order of magnitude faster. You can almost consider it more of a simulator replacement for Android’s emulator that provides just enough support to create a testing environment stable enough to provide value to your testing activity. Value that typically degrades when tests take way too long to execute.<br />
<br />
<b>Jenkins/Bamboo </b>– Continuous integration servers that check the health of your Java code have been around for years. Technologies and servers have come and gone many times over. Two of the more popular choices for introducing a Continuous Integration environment to your Android projects are <a href="http://jenkins-ci.org/">Jenkins</a> and <a href="https://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/got-jenkins">Bamboo</a>. Both provide a means of monitoring your code base, automatically executing tests, and alerting developers when something has gone terribly wrong.<br />
<br />
<b>Calabash/Appium </b>– While not entirely exclusive to Android as a User Interface testing harness, both <a href="http://calaba.sh/">Calabash</a> and <a href="http://appium.io/">Appium</a> provide a means of testing apps from the user interface. The ability to test the app from the outside in complements a unit testing strategy providing a more comprehensive strategy when it comes to monitoring the health of your apps code. One without the other will prove to leave gaps in your automated testing strategy that you will need to compensate for with your manual testing strategy.<br />

<b>Top Strategic Technology Trends for 2015</b><br />
<br />
<b>1. The Internet of Things</b><br />
The Internet of Things finally became dinner table conversation (well, sort of) in 2014 thanks to Google Inc. GOOGL, +0.85% , which helped to mainstream IoT with a $3.2 billion purchase of smart home thermostat maker Nest Labs.<br />
<br />
Home automation will continue to attract new attention next year and big players will continue to pour money into smartening up everyday items.<br />
<br />
<b>2. 3D Printing</b><br />
The ability to print out real-world in-demand objects will become even easier and more applicable in 2015. An astronaut on the International Space Station used a 3-D printer to make a socket wrench in space, Worldwide shipments of 3D printers are expected to grow 90 percent in 2015, followed by a doubling of unit shipments in 2016. <br />
<br />
<b>3. BLE (Bluetooth low energy) and iBeacon to add new options for planners and participants.</b><br />
Gamification and scavenger hunts (as used at CES 2014).<br />
Location information and navigation assistance: A geofence can notify attendees where they are on a map and give guidance on where they wish to go.<br />
Personalized welcome and other location-based alert notifications upon arrival: For example, a badge is printed upon when the attendee enters the geo-fence with notification sent via the app to the badge printing location.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Cloud/Client Computing/Analytics</b><br />
The convergence of cloud and mobile computing will continue to promote the growth of centrally coordinated applications that can be delivered to any device. <br />
"Cloud is the new style of elastically scalable, self-service computing, and both internal applications and external applications will be built on this new style," said Mr. Cearley. <br />
<br />
In the near term, the focus for cloud/client will be on synchronizing content and application state across multiple devices and addressing application portability across devices.Today, mobile event apps offer an unprecedented amount of analytic data – a goldmine of useful, real-time information to improve the event experience! Every touch is trackable!<br />
<br />
<b>5. Software-Defined Applications and Infrastructure (SDN/NFV/Saas/Paas/Naas/Iaas/)</b><br />
Agile programming of everything from applications to basic infrastructure is essential to enable organizations to deliver the flexibility required to make the digital business work. Software-defined networking, storage, data centers and security are maturing. Cloud services are software-configurable through API calls, and applications, too, increasingly have rich APIs to access their function and content programmatically. To deal with the rapidly changing demands of digital business and scale systems up — or down — rapidly, computing has to move away from static to dynamic models. Rules, models and code that can dynamically assemble and configure all of the elements needed from the network through the application are needed.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Smart Wearables: </b><br />
Google may have sprung the modern-day market for wearables to life when it unveiled Google Glass in 2012, but the market has been sputtering to attract widespread adoption. Today, high-tech fitness bands such as FitBit/JawBone/Netpulse continue to win over consumers who want an easy way to track their calories, but Apple Inc. and Sony Corp. are among the companies hoping to make wearable waves in 2015. “Smart Wearables will see strong growth with the entry of the Apple Watch and refined offerings from other players,” said Ross Rubin.<br />
<br />
Apple will start selling its much-anticipated Apple Watch in the first half of next year. It will be interesting to see whether the tech takes off (it is Apple after all), or if consumers determine that a smart watch is not the solution they need after all. One thing is for certain, sales of Samsung’s Galaxy Gear have been a disappointment.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Augmented reality/Virtual reality</b><br />
Augmented reality, or technologies that enhance the regular world around your eyes with visuals, continues to attract the interest of developers. In 2015, It will be adopted into more commercial applications. Sony is expected to unveil a Google Glass-like headset at CES next month that can be affixed to a person’s regular lenses and superimpose high-resolution OLED images, videos and text in front of a person’s eye. Sony reportedly plans to start mass producing the smart eyewear in 2015.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Facebook, Sony, Google and Samsung have all expressed interest in conjoining with Hollywood to make virtual reality a, well, reality. New Deal Studios and other boutique movie studios have recently started to develop 360-degree films designed specifically for virtual reality headsets.<br />
<br />
Some other technology those will hold their foot prints under technologies to watch in 2015<br />
<b>4K and beyond</b>. Moore’s law applied to pixels has been incredible. Apple’s 5K iMac topped off a year where we saw 4K displays for hundreds of dollars. In mobile, pixel density will increase (to the degree that battery life, OS and hardware can keep up) and for desktop and wall, screen size will continue to increase. Wall-sized displays, wireless transmission and hopefully touch will introduce a whole new range of potential solutions for collaboration, signage and education.</div>

<b>Preface of PCR, PTS/DTS & Time Base Alterations according to ISO/IEC 13818 Part 1, Annexure D, J</b><br />Given that a decoding system receives a compliant bit stream that is delivered correctly in accordance with the timing model it is straightforward to implement the decoder such that it produces as output high quality audio and video which are properly synchronized. There is no normative requirement, however, that decoders be implemented in such a way as to provide such high quality presentation output. In applications where the data are not delivered to the decoder with correct timing, it may be possible to produce the desired presentation output; however such capabilities are not in general guaranteed.<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><br /></b></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The audio and video sample rates at the encoder are significantly different from one another, and may or may not have an exact and fixed relationship to one another, depending on whether the combined stream is a Program Stream or a Transport Stream, and on whether the System_audio_locked and System_video_locked flags are set in the Program Stream. The duration of a block of audio samples (an audio presentation unit) is generally not the same as the duration of a video picture.<br /><br />[Within the coding of this Recommendation, data are timestamps concerning the presentation and decoding of video pictures and blocks of audio samples. The pictures and blocks are called "Presentation Units", abbreviated PU. The sets of coded bits which represent the PUs and which are included within the ISO/IEC 13818-1 bit stream are called "Access Units", abbreviated AU. An audio access unit is abbreviated AAU, and a video access unit is abbreviated VAU. In ISO/IEC 13818-3, the term "audio frame" has the same meaning as AAU or APU (audio presentation unit) depending on the context. A video presentation unit (VPU) is a picture, and a VAU is a coded picture.]<br /><br />Some, but not necessarily all, AAUs and VAUs have associated with them PTSs. A PTS indicates the time that the PU which results from decoding the AU which is associated with the PTS should be presented to the user. The audio PTSs and video PTSs are both samples from a common time clock, which is referred to as the System Time Clock or STC. With the correct values of audio and video PTSs included in the data stream, and with the presentation of the audio and video PUs occurring at the time indicated by the appropriate PTSs in terms of the common STC, precise synchronization of the presented audio and video is achieved at the decoding system. While the STC is not part of the normative content of this Recommendation, and the equivalent information is conveyed in this Recommendation via such terms as the system_clock_frequency, the STC is an important and convenient element for explaining the timing model, and it is generally practical to implement encoders and decoders which include an STC in some form.<br /><br />[In particular, in the STD model each of the operations performed on the bit stream in the decoder is performed instantaneously, with the obvious exception of the time that bits spend in the decoder buffers. In a real decoder system the individual audio and video decoders do not perform instantaneously, and their delays must be taken into account in the design of the implementation. For example, if video pictures are decoded in exactly one picture presentation interval 1/P, where P is the frame rate, and compressed video data are arriving at the decoder at bit rate R, the completion of removing<br /><br />bits associated with each picture is delayed from the time indicated in the PTS and DTS fields by 1/P, and the video decoder buffer must be larger than that specified in the STD model by R/P. The video presentation is likewise delayed with respect to the STD, and the PTS should be handled accordingly. Since the video is delayed, the audio decoding and presentation should be delayed by a similar amount in order to provide correct synchronization. Delaying decoding and presentation of audio and video in a decoder may be implemented for example by adding a constant to the PTS values when they are used within the decoder.]<br /><br />Data from the Transport Stream enters the decoder at a piecewise constant rate. The time t(i) at which the i-th byte enters the decoder is defined by decoding the program clock reference (PCR) fields in the input stream, encoded in the Transport<br /><br />Stream packet adaptation field of the program to be decoded and by counting the bytes in the complete Transport Stream between successive PCRs of that program. The PCR field is encoded in two parts: one, in units of the period of 1/300 times the system clock frequency, called program_clock_reference_base, and one in units of the system clock frequency called program_clock_reference_extension. The values encoded in these are computed by PCR_base(i) and PCR_ext(i) respectively. The value encoded in the PCR field indicates the time t(i), where i is the index of the byte containing the last bit of the program_clock_reference_base field.<br /><br />Specifically:<br /><br />PCR(i) = PCR_base(i) × 300 + PCR_ext(i)<br /><br />where: PCR_base(i) = ((system_clock_ frequency × t(i)) DIV 300) % 233, and,<br /><br />PCR_ext(i) = ((system_clock_ frequency × t(i)) DIV 1) % 300<br /><br />For all other bytes the input arrival time, t(i) shown in equation below, is computed from PCR( i'') and the transportrate at which data arrive, where the transport rate is determined as the number of bytes in the Transport Stream between the bytes containing the last bit of two successive program_clock_reference_base fields of the same program divided by the difference between the time values encoded in these same two PCR fields.<br /><br />t(i) = PCR(i'')/system_clock_ frequency +( i − i'')/transport_rate (i)<br /><br />where,<br /><br />i is the index of any byte in the Transport Stream for i''< i < i'<br /><br />i'' is the index of the byte containing the last bit of the most recent program_clock_reference_base field applicable to the program being decoded. PCR(i'') is the time encoded in the program clock reference base and extension fields in units of the system clock.<br /><br />The transport rate is given by,<br /><br />transport_rate(i) = ((i' – i'' ) × system_clock_frequency)/ PCR(i') – PCR(i'')<br /><br />where,<br /><br />i'is the index of the byte containing the last bit of the immediately following program_clock_reference_base field applicable to the program being decoded, such that, i'' < i ≤ i'<br /><br />In the case of a time base discontinuity, indicated by the discontinuity_indicator in the transport packet adaptation field, the definition for the time of arrival of bytes at the input to the decoder is not applicable between the last PCR of the old time base and the first PCR of the new time base. In this case the time of arrival of these bytes is determined according to equation to Evaluate t(i) above with the modification that the transport rate used is that applicable between the last and next to last PCR of the old time base.<br /><br />A tolerance is specified for the PCR values. The PCR tolerance is defined as the maximum inaccuracy allowed in received PCRs. This inaccuracy may be due to imprecision in the PCR values or to PCR modification during re-multiplexing. It does not include errors in packet arrival time due to network jitter or other causes. The PCR tolerance is ± 500 ns.<br /><br />Transport Streams with multiple programs and variable rate<br /><br />Transport Streams may contain multiple programs which have independent time bases. Separate sets of PCRs, as indicated by the respective PCR_PID values, are required for each such independent program, and therefore the PCRs cannot be co-located. The Transport Stream rate is piecewise constant for the program entering the T-STD. Therefore, if the Transport Stream rate is variable it can only vary at the PCRs of the program under consideration. Since the PCRs, and therefore the points in the transport Stream where the rate varies, are not co-located, the rate at which the Transport Stream enters the T-STD would have to differ depending on which program is entering the T-STD. Therefore, it is not possible to construct a consistent T-STD delivery schedule for an entire Transport Stream when that Transport Stream contains multiple programs with independent time bases and the rate of the Transport Stream is variable. It is straightforward, however, to construct constant bit rate Transport Streams with multiple variable rate programs.<br /><br />The following schematic represents the Broadcom BCM97405’s Time Stamp Management, which roughly constitutes of the following:-<br /><br />1. A single software point of control. This is called the “global STC.” All other implementation details should be as transparent as possible to software (usage of PVR offset, PCR offset, STC, etc.) This implies that the STC for audio and video decoders should match exactly.<br /><br /><div>
2. Audio and video must be synchronized in time. The basic specification is to allow up to ± 20 ms of audiovisual disparity.<br /><br />3. Audio and video decoders must present the same TSM interface and behave consistently. This means, for example, that if one decoder drops frames prior to receiving an initial STC in Broadcast mode, the other decoder should also do so. Similarly, if one decoder enters VSYNC mode during the same time period, then the other decoder should also.<br /><br />4. Error concealment must be implemented. This means that the decoder and transport software/firmware/hardware should attempt to conceal errors in a way that meets all relevant compliance testing and in such a way that host/system software involvement is minimized.<br /><br />5.

<br /><br />The decoder uses time stamps provided in the stream to control when a frame must be displayed (PTS) or decoded (DTS). These time stamps are compared to a running system clock – the STC. Because the decoder cannot always display or decode a frame exactly when the STC and PTS are equal, a small amount of latitude is given to the decoder. This latitude translates into a threshold, within which the decoder will take one action on a frame, and beyond which the decoder will take a different action.<br /><br />Generally, the time line for timestamp comparisons is divided into four sections:<br /><br />• Extremely early<br /><br />• Early<br /><br />• Late<br /><br />• Extremely late.<br /><br /><br /><br />The dividers between these sections are the “threshold” values that determine what constitutes, for example, “extremely late” vs. “late”. In a line with four sections, there must be three such dividers: the extremely early threshold, the extremely late threshold, and the point at which a frame is exactly on time, called the maturation point (PTS = STC). Each decoder may have different early or late thresholds as best suits the performance requirements for a given usage mode for that decoder. The following scenarios apply to both the broadcast and PVR usage modes. Extremely Early Frames (PTS > STC + Threshold) extremely early frames put a burden on the buffer model of the decoder. If they are not discarded, the buffer may overflow. The threshold value for determining whether a frame is simply early or extremely early is a function of the available buffer size to which the decoder has access. An extremely early frame will be discarded and the host will be notified of a PTS error. The decoder should not expect the host to correct the problem. This is depicted in the Figure below.<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>

In addition, there is a real-time interface specification for input of Transport Streams and Program Streams to a decoder. This allows the standardization of the interface between MPEG decoders and adapters to networks, channels, or storage media. The timing effects of channels, and the inability of practical adapters to eliminate completely these effects, causes deviations from the idealized byte delivery schedule to occur. This covers the<br />real-time delivery behavior of Transport Streams and Program streams to decoders, such that the coded data buffers in decoders are guaranteed neither to overflow nor underflow, and decoders are guaranteed to be able to perform clock recovery with the performance required by their applications.<br />The MPEG real-time interface specifies the maximum allowable amount of deviation from the idealized byte delivery schedule which is indicated by the Program Clock Reference (PCR) and System Clock Reference (SCR) fields encoded in the stream. Implementations of the process for recording and playback conform to the following sections. Please note that this is not complete. Please refer to ETSI TS 102 819 and ETSI ES 201 812 for completeness.<br />For systems implementing the MHP Stack, the process for Managing scheduled recordings includes the following activities:<br />1. Maintaining a list of recording requests which remain in the pending state (PENDING_WITH_CONFLICT_STATE or PENDING_WITHOUT_CONFLICT_STATE).<br />2. Maintaining a list of recording requests that have been successfully completed (COMPLETED_STATE), ones where recording started but failed to be successfully completed (INCOMPLETE_STATE) and ones where recording was scheduled but failed to start (FAILED_STATE).<br />3. Initiating the recording process for a pending recording request (in either PENDING_WITH_CONFLICT_STATE or PENDING_WITHOUT_CONFLICT_STATE) at the appropriate time, including awakening from a standby or similar power management state should this be necessary.<br />4. Maintaining references to recording requests that failed (FAILED_STATE) in the list of recording requests.<br />5. Resolving ParentRecordingRequests, initially when the request is first made and at subsequent times depending on the GEM recording specification. This includes setting the initial state of the ParentRecordingRequest and changing that state when or if more of the request is resolved.<br />Notes:- GEM recording specifications may define mechanisms for automatically removing requests from this list if it appears the recording will never happen. GEM recording specifications may define mechanisms for automatically removing requests from this list based on some criteria they define. Mechanisms for resolving conflicts between recording requests (e.g. use of the tuner) are outside the scope of the present document and may be specified by GEM recording specifications. The GEM recording specification is responsible for specifying the mechanism for resolving ParentRecordingRequests.<br />The recording process includes the following activities:<br />1. Identifying which recordable streams shall be recorded. If the specification of the recording request identifies specific streams then those are the ones which shall be recorded. If the specification of the recording request does not identify specific streams then the default streams in the piece of content shall be recorded. When the recording is in progress and an elementary stream is added to or removed from the program, the device shall re-evaluate the streams to record as if the recording were just starting. If during this process the device determines that different streams need to be recorded it should change the streams being recorded without segmenting the recording if possible. If the device cannot change streams being recorded without segmenting the recording then it shall segment the recording.<br />2. Recording the identified streams, up to the limits in the recording capability of the GEM recording terminal.<br />Where more streams of any one type should be recorded than the GEM recording terminal can record, streams shall be prioritized<br />3. Identifying recordable applications and recording them, the broadcast file system(s) carrying them and sufficient data to reconstruct their AIT entries. Applications with an Application recording description where the scheduled_recording_flag is set to "0" shall not be considered as recordable. On implementations which monitor for changes in the application signaling, when such changes be detected then the criteria for which applications are recordable shall be re-evaluated. If any applications which were recordable becomes non-recordable or vice-versa then this shall be acted upon.<br />4. Recording sufficient information about all transmitted timelines which form part of the recording in order to enable them to be accurately reconstructed during playback.<br />5. Generating a media time which increments linearly at a rate of 1,0 from the beginning to the end of the recording.<br />6. Recording sufficient SI to identify the language associated with those recordable streams (e.g. audio) that can be specified by language - e.g. using org.davic.media.AudioLanguageControl "what SI should be recorded with a recorded service, e.g. info about languages?" added above requirement.<br />7. Handling the following cases relating to the loss and re-acquisition of resources during a recording:<br />- the recording starts and a needed resource is not available;<br />- the recording is in progress and a needed resource is lost;<br />- the recording is in progress without a needed resource and the resource becomes available.<br />8. Handling the following cases relating to changes to elementary stream information during a recording:<br />- an elementary stream with audio, video, or data is added;<br />- an elementary stream with audio, video, or data is removed;<br />- an elementary stream with audio, video, or data is changed, e.g. the PID changed.<br />Notes:- The definition of the default streams to be recorded is outside the scope of the present document and should be specified by GEM recording specifications. Minimum capabilities for the number of streams of each type that GEM recording terminals should be able to record are outside the scope of the present document. The GEM recording specification is responsible for defining these. A more complete definition of which applications are recordable (and which are not) is outside the scope of the present document and should be specified by GEM recording specifications. The requirements on a GEM recording terminal to monitor for dynamic data and behavior of applications during a recording are outside the scope of the present document and should be specified by GEM recording specifications.<br />Managing completed recordings<br />The process for managing completed recordings shall include the following activities: Maintaining with all completed recordings (COMPLETED_STATE or INCOMPLETE_STATE) the following information as long as the content is retained:<br />- whether the recording is known to be complete or incomplete or whether this is unknown;<br />- whether the recording is segmented and information about each segment;<br />- the time and channel where the recording was made;<br />- the application specific data associated with the recording.<br />Possibly deleting the recording (including the entry in the list of recordings, the recorded data and any other associated information) once the expiration period is past for the leaf recording request corresponding to this recording.<br />NOTE: The present document is silent about the precision with which the expiration period must be respected. GEM recording specifications should specify how accurately it should be enforced by implementations.<br />Playback of scheduled recordings<br />Except when the initiating_replay_flag in the Application recording description of any application in the recording is set to "1", the process for playing back scheduled recordings shall include the following activities:<br />1) Starting the playback of recordable streams;<br />2) Starting the playback of recorded AUTOSTART applications where these form part of the recorded piece of content and all labeled parts of the application with the storage priority "critical to store" have been stored. Requirements on reconstructing the dynamic behavior of recorded applications during playback are outside the scope of the present document and should be specified by GEM recording specifications. When playing content which is currently being recorded, if the end of the content to be recorded is reached and recording stops, the playback must continue without interruption (but not necessarily perfectly seamlessly), regardless of any (implementation dependent) process to copy the newly recorded content from any temporary buffer to a more permanent location on the storage device.<br />3) A time shall be synthesized which increases linearly from the start of the recorded content to the end. This shall be used as the basis of the "time base time" and "media time" as defined by JMF. No relationship is required between this time and any time that forms part of the recorded content such as MPEG PCR, STC or DSMCC NPT.<br />4) When playing an entire recording with multiple segments, the segments shall be treated as a single recording. The segments shall be played in the order they appear in the array returned from the SegmentedRecordedService.getSegments method, and a time shall be synthesized for all of the segments as described in rule number 4 above. When playing across a gap between two segments the (implementation dependent) time of the gap should be minimized as much as possible with 0 gap time the goal.<br />5) When playing a single segment from a recording that includes multiple segments the single segment shall be treated as an entire recording playback. The beginning and end of the segment shall be the beginning and end of the playback.<br />6) For all transmitted time lines which form part of the original recording, reconstruct each time line when the current media time is in the range for which that time line is valid. Applications where labeled parts of the application with the storage property "critical to store" have not been stored shall be treated as if none of the application has been stored. They shall not appear to be present. When the initiating_replay_flag in the Application recording description of any application in the recording is set to "1", the GEM recording terminal shall launch the first auto-start application in the recording which has initiating_replay_flag set to "1". The GEM recording terminal shall not initiate the playback of the recordable streams since this is the responsibility of that application.<div>

<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p6">
Orc(Oil Runtime Compiler) is a just-in-time compiler implemented as a library and set of associated tools for compiling and executing simple programs that operate on arrays of data. Orc is unlike other general-purpose JIT engines: the Orc bytecode and language is designed so that it can be readily converted into SIMD instructions. This translates to interesting language features and limitations: Orc has built-in capability for SIMD-friendly operations such as shuffling, saturated addition and subtraction, but only works on arrays of data. This makes Orc good for applications such as audio processing, array math, and signal analysis & image processing.</div>
<div class="p6">
The “code” is currently an intermediate form that is roughly a platform-agnostic assembly language that understands variables and simple arrays. It’s an intermediate form in the sense that it’s currently only stored as a list of structs — there isn’t a parser yet. </div>
<div class="p6">
The Orc language is an assembly-like language,The Orc tools then convert this into an intermediate form (as C source code) that includes the bytecode, functions for automatically calling the compiled bytecode from C, and backup functions (in C) that are used when Orc is not available or unable to compile the bytecode into efficient SIMD code. Orc generates code optimized for the specific processor that is running, using instruction sets that are available.ORC will include the compiler support for speculative multi-threading</div>
<div class="p6">
Since Orc creates backup functions, you can optionally use many Orc-using libraries and applications without actually having the Orc library — this is useful for transitioning an application into using Orc. However, when Orc is disabled, the application is unable to use the SIMD code generated by Orc.</div>
<div class="p6">
Additional opcode sets can be created and registered in a manner similar to how the liborc-float and liborc-pixel libraries. In order to make full use of new opcode sets, one must also define rules for translating these opcodes into target code. The example libraries do this by registering rule sets for various targets (mainly SSE) for their opcode sets. Orc provides low-level API for generating target code. Not all possible target instructions can be generated with the target API, so developers may need to modify and add functions to the main Orc library as necessary to generate target code.</div>

<b>● “Everything that can be streamed over the Internet will be”</b><br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>● Netflix/Youtube/ has announced 4K streaming<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>● Netflix rules the streaming world (at least in North America)<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>● How does Netflix's streaming video service work?<br />
– Cloud-based virtual (and actual) servers on Amazon's EC2<br />
– HTTP used as both a network and media protocol<br />
– Network content caching provided by third-party Content Delivery Networks (Akamai, Level 3, Limelight)<br />
● A too quick conclusion: The best way to stream 4K/8K video is to deploy a global HTTP-based delivery service on top of Amazon's Cloud with a helping hand from Akamai and friends As a result of Netflix's lead, will all 4K/8K streams originate from within the Cloud?<br />
<br />
<b>– Will 4K/8K streaming simply be another form of Cloud-based video?</b><br />
● Apart from Netflix's streaming activities, video (including 4K/8K and Digital Cinema) is already moving to the Cloud<br />
– Cloud-based production<br />
– Cloud-based workflow<br />
– Cloud-based storage<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>● Is the Cloud ready for 4K/8K streaming?</b><br />
– Should we worry about the stress that 4K/8K streaming, with its extreme bit-rates, will place on Internet servers and Cloud infrastructure?<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>How high will the streaming video spike be when:</b><br />
– 1080p High Definition streaming is common with bit-rates of 5+ Mbps (versus only 300-500 Kbps now)?<br />
– LTE/4G networks are ubiquitous and Tablets and SmartPhones start receiving 2-6 Mbps video streams?<br />
● The spike will be off the chart with 25 Mbps 4K streams<br />
<br />
<b>CloudMost Internet Video is transmitted from the Cloud</b><br />
● The rapid growth of Internet Video has triggered a dramatic increase in Data Centres worldwide ...<br />
● ... which has ignited explosive growth in the number of Internet servers<br />
● Estimated 75 million Internet servers today (Gautam Shroff, The Intelligent Web)<br />
– But could be much higher: Actual total unknown!!<br />
● 785,293,473 web sites worldwide as of November 2013 (Netcraft Web Server Survey)<br />
– Microsoft has 1 million servers (source: Steve Balmer, Microsoft)<br />
– Google is on its way to 10 million servers (source: Google)<br />
<b>4K/8K Challenge: Efficient Protocols</b><br />
● Streaming protocols in wide use today were not designed for the 25-100 megabits/second rates of 4K/8K streaming<br />
● HTTP (Hyper-Text Transport Protocol) problems:<br />
– Stateless, text-based protocol designed for delivering HTML<br />
and images, not video<br />
● HTTP 2.0 offers some efficiency improvements<br />
● RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) problems:<br />
– No support for network quality of service (QoS)<br />
– RTP's accompanying Real Time Control Protocol adds<br />
complexity<br />
– Must be modified on an ad-hoc basis to meet the requirements<br />
of high bit-rate, low-latency streaming (see: BBC Research &<br />
Development WHP 268)<br />

● Streaming protocols in wide use today were not designed for the 25-100 megabits/second rates of 4K/8K streaming<br />
● HTTP (Hyper-Text Transport Protocol) problems:<br />
– Stateless, text-based protocol designed for delivering HTML and images, not video<br />
● HTTP 2.0 offers some efficiency improvements<br />
● RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) problems:<br />
– No support for network quality of service (QoS)<br />
– RTP's accompanying Real Time Control Protocol adds complexity<br />
– Must be modified on an ad-hoc basis to meet the requirements of high bit-rate, low-latency streaming (see: BBC Research & Development WHP 268)<br />
<br />
<b>MMT in the Future Internet</b><br />
Even though it is nowadays clear that almost all transport-layer protocols are converging to IP<br />
regardless of their characteristics, today’s Internet architecture is not optimal for multimedia<br />
services. Therefore, future networks such as CCNs will not only provide a better network<br />
architecture for multimedia delivery, but will also require a multimedia transport solution that is<br />
more aware of a delivery network’s requirements. MMT address such requirements, both by<br />
exposing the detailed information required by the underlying delivery layer that is agnostic to the<br />
specific media type and by defining an application-layer protocol that is optimized for multimedia<br />
delivery.<br />

Network-as-a-service (NaaS) is a business model for delivering network services virtually over the Internet on a pay-per-use or monthly subscription basis. From the customer's point of view, the only thing required to create an information technology (IT) network is one computer, an Internet connection and access to the provider's NaaS portal. This concept can be appealing to new business owners because it saves them from spending money on network hardware and the staff it takes to manage a network in-house. In essence, the network becomes a utility, paid for just like electricity or water or heat. Because the network is virtual, all its complexities are hidden from view.<br /><br /><div>
<b>Requirements</b><br />For a NaaS model to be used in DCs, we believe that the following requirements must be satisfied:<br /><b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Requirement 1: </b><br />Integration with current DC hardware. Existing DCs constitute a significant investment. The use of<br />commodity networking equipment, which typically lacks programmability features, reduces the cost of large DC deployments. For NaaS to become successful, it must not require expensive, non-commodity, networking hardware.<br /><br /><b>Requirement 2: </b><br />High-level programming model. NaaS should expose a programming model that is natural for software developers to use, hiding low-level details of network packet processing and not exposing the full complexity of the physical network topology in the DC. <br /><br /><b>Requirement 3: </b><br />Scalability and multi-tenant isolation. Compared to existing software-based router solutions , NaaS must be able to support a multitude of different applications, written by different organisations and running concurrently, unaware of each other. Therefore, to be successful, a NaaS model requires strong isolation of the different network resources offered to tenants.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6i6zpp51uBeHtHcGAQ1FSrn87XXg6GmF9jTGN6VC7uEd0UgMigG3tQWEnj1u-a07Kqb_2g3HPjxzkAjvf37aWO4dlx_2XsQop03vKUWdbE-KO3BJcEoNEXoJfuy02egcVOKQi_J9bfBPa/s1600/NAAAS..jpg"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6i6zpp51uBeHtHcGAQ1FSrn87XXg6GmF9jTGN6VC7uEd0UgMigG3tQWEnj1u-a07Kqb_2g3HPjxzkAjvf37aWO4dlx_2XsQop03vKUWdbE-KO3BJcEoNEXoJfuy02egcVOKQi_J9bfBPa/s1600/NAAAS..jpg" width="400" /></a><br /></div>

<br /><br />· first Content Delivery Network (CDN) that operates from within the Mobile Base Station. <br /><br />· This new class of CDNs leverages real-time radio congestion monitoring and proximity to mobile users to deliver superior user experience, new monetization opportunities and improved network economics.<br /><br />· Getting content as close as possible to the mobile user is crucial to reducing round-trip-time (RTT) and making accurate performance tuning decisions, in order to improve the mobile Internet user experience. <br /><br />· Radio network edge placement, in concert with the CDN serving the content, is especially beneficial when trying to optimize HTTPS content, since this type of content cannot be cached or optimized inside the <br /><br /> mobile network using standard “transparent” caching methods or optimization techniques. <a href="http://www.saguna.net/news-events/press-releases/saguna-and-akamai-showcase-the-world-s-first-content-delivery-network-operating-from-the-mobile-base-station/">http://www.saguna.net/news-events/press-releases/saguna-and-akamai-showcase-the-world-s-first-content-delivery-network-operating-from-the-mobile-base-station/</a><div class="MsoNormal">

Its seems that they are just a caching solution which sit at RAN level – so they can be faster than a CDN sitting in core and not doing compression/video optimization etc. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.saguna.net/products/accelerate/">http://www.saguna.net/products/accelerate/</a></div>
