Journey to 5G: Telehealth – A Mission-Critical Use Case

5G, with its gigabytes data throughput and ultralow latency, can access numerous high-value sectors such as 3D robotic control, virtual reality monitoring, and remote medical control that earlier technologies could not. Over the last two years, we have seen an increasing number of consumer network rollouts and field testing. Furthermore, we are seeing some of the most prominent industry companies begin to implement 5G in their businesses. This is only the beginning of how 5G will eventually alter and accelerate breakthroughs in industries like automotive, entertainment, computing, manufacturing, and ultimately the way we work and live.

Open technology is revolutionising our industry, however to leverage open technology you need to combine technology with open culture. Red Hat’s Open Innovation Labs team not only tackles some of our customer’s toughest technical challenges but is also a vehicle for cultural change.

Unlike previous generations of core and radio access technologies, 5G makes it possible to integrate elements of different generations into different configurations. Because of that, several options become available for evolving to 5G. CSPs should carefully consider the practicality of different options across many variables, including: fulfilling the requirements of their intended initial use cases; the interoperability and interworking of these options with the rest of their network. Join us for the first of a series of webinars on 5G as we discuss the various migration paths and the intended business benefits along the way.

Multiple U.S. intelligence agency assessments have concluded that a foreign nation state sought to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. In response, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission released non-competitive grant funding to help states and U.S. territories raise the cybersecurity of their Election Critical Infrastructure. Gaining visibility into the security posture of Election Infrastructure is often difficult, even for smaller municipalities. States and municipalities need a prescriptive solution that will help them ramp up security visibility quickly.
