The Open Fibre Data Standard (OFDS) represents a significant step forward in telecommunications infrastructure transparency and interoperability. Supported by the Internet Society, this open data initiative establishes a universal framework for describing terrestrial fibre optic networks, enabling seamless information sharing among regulators, operators, and researchers worldwide. At its core, OFDS provides a standardized schema for structuring and formatting fibre network data, complete with clear definitions and publication guidelines. This common language eliminates the inconsistencies that traditionally hinder cross-border and cross-operator collaboration in broadband development. The standard includes practical tooling to support data publication in multiple formats, ensuring accessibility for diverse…

Over the past decade, AMD has undergone a dramatic transformation under CEO Lisa Su’s leadership, evolving from a struggling semiconductor firm to a formidable competitor across data center, client computing, and embedded markets. The company’s embedded business unit has emerged as a particularly bright spot, with its adaptive computing portfolio and AI-focused strategy positioning AMD for significant growth in edge applications. The 2022 acquisition of Xilinx proved pivotal, providing AMD with critical FPGA and SoC technologies that have since been deeply integrated with its x86 CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs. This strategic combination enables AMD to offer unique heterogeneous computing solutions,…

2.2billionby2027—morethandoubleitsestimated1.07 billion valuation in 2024. This accelerated trajectory, detailed in Hyperion Research’s 5th Annual Global Quantum Computing Market Survey, underscores the technology’s transition from theoretical exploration to practical implementation. Industry Shifts from Experimentation to Commercialization The survey, encompassing 115 participants from 82 leading quantum computing firms, reveals a pivotal shift in market dynamics. In 2025, 42% of companies anticipate quantum-related revenues growing by over 25%, up from 37% the previous year. Concurrently, the percentage of firms expecting stagnant revenues has sharply declined from 26% to 10%, signaling that quantum computing is beginning to demonstrate tangible business value. Infrastructure Evolution: The…

A groundbreaking partnership between Houston-based startup Persona AI and South Korean industrial giants HD Hyundai Robotics, HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE), and manufacturing firm Vazil could transform shipyard operations through advanced robotics. Announced this week in Houston, the collaboration aims to develop autonomous humanoid robots capable of performing complex welding tasks in demanding shipyard environments. Addressing Critical Industry Challenges The shipbuilding sector faces mounting pressures, including skilled labor shortages and hazardous working conditions. Persona AI’s humanoid robots offer a potential solution by taking on high-risk welding operations while boosting productivity. Founded in 2024, the AI robotics startup has…

The volume of critical infrastructure attacks across 2024 was alarming: everything from airports to hospitals shut down due to ransomware. With Microsoft reporting 600 million cyberattacks every day and other top cloud providers facing constant attempts, centralized clouds are under heavy fire. There is a constant onslaught of cyber attacks each week, such as the November 2024 Blue Yonder attack, which, by infiltrating one supply chain operator, disrupted retailers from supermarkets to Starbucks. The data and power demands of artificial intelligence, in particular, keep driving larger companies into the cloud — but it’s a gold rush fraught with danger. Techopedia speaks to experts and explores why the cloud…

According to research by cybersecurity software firm Check Point, corporate networks worldwide experienced a 30% increase in weekly cyberattacks in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 and a 25% rise from the first quarter of 2024. Inadequate cybersecurity measures can have serious implications for businesses. The consequences of poor digital hygiene include data loss, data breaches, financial damage, and reputational damage — which is difficult to quantify but could have the biggest long-term impact. As part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month in October, several industry leaders shared their views with Techopedia on the most pressing cybersecurity challenges that businesses face and how to address…
