BT Global Services, BT Group PLC's information technology services division, will reorganize its global workforce around vertical market segments, such as financial services, pharmacueticals and government. In doing this, BT is seeking to use the industrial and technological expertise it gains servicing one client across other major multinational customers in the sectors it supports. In an interview with Dow Jones Newswires, Andy Green, head of BT Global Services said; "The importance of this reorganization will become obvious next year. There will be quite a lot more activity toward segmentation."

It is common for IT services companies to organize their operations around vertical market segments such as telecoms, finanical services or utilities, in order to leverage knowledge gained servicing one client across its customers in the sector.
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is quietly becoming one of the most strategic short-range wireless technologies in the market, moving from niche deployments into the mainstream of smartphones, cars, and smart spaces. As the ecosystem matures and next-generation implementations arrive, UWB is shifting from nice-to-have to a foundational capability for secure access, sensing, and high-performance device-to-device connectivity. UWB Technology Market Development Unlike Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, or legacy IEEE 802.15.4 implementations, UWB combines three powerful attributes in a single radio: secure ranging, radar-like sensing, and low-latency, high-throughput short-range data. This allows networking and IT vendors to architect experiences that blend precise location, context awareness, and rich interaction in ways traditional connectivity stacks cannot easily match. According to the latest worldwide market study by ABI Research, UWB is expected to be one of the fastest-growing wireless connectivity...
