Telecom Italia Partners on Intel ViiV Apps

Telecom Italia and US chip maker Intel have signed an agreement for the joint development of applications and services for home entertainment, healthcare and development of new technologies.

With Telecom Italia broadband services and PCs equipped with Intel's Viiv technology, it will be possible to share pictures, videos, music and videogames among different devices simultaneously. For example, users will be able to share digital content among their mobile phones, PCs and TVs.

Telecom Italia broadband customers who have Viiv-equipped PCs will have online access to the on-demand contents of Rosso Alice channels. With the Viiv technology, these users can then view the video content on any compatible viewing device.

Telecom Italia and Intel will also be developing ad hoc wireless telemedicine applications to monitor elderly people and patients alongside technology-led solutions to enhance wireless communication and data exchange among hospital wards.

How WLAN Transforms Industrial Automation

The industrial sector is on the eve of a wireless transformation, driven by an urgent demand for greater network capacity, reliability, and deterministic performance. Historically, manufacturers and mission-critical operations have relied on wired networks — favoring their predictability — because spectrum congestion in legacy 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands limited confidence in wireless for operational technology (OT) environments. However, with the introduction and rapid adoption of the 6GHz spectrum, compounded by significant advances in Wi-Fi standards, industrial facilities are now poised to embrace wireless LANs as the backbone for automation and digital innovation. Industrial WLAN Market Development Recent research from ABI Research forecasts that over 70 percent of industrial-grade wireless LAN access points (WLAN APs) shipped in 2030 will support the 6GHz band. This is a leap from 2 percent in 2023, highlighting a rapid and profound technological shift. The market for ruggedized indust...
