ShowMeCables, an infinite Electronics brand and a supplier of connectivity solutions, recently announced its new line of fiber optic transceivers designed to meet the needs of telecom service providers, the data communications industry and IT departments.

These new fiber optic transceivers are MSA-compliant and therefore compatible with most switch and router platforms. They represent a wide selection of form factors, distances supported and data rates. Most of these new transceivers were designed to withstand extreme temperatures found in many industrial applications.

VoltDB, a leading enterprise-grade data platform built to enable fast-data decisioning, has introduced its Active(N) Lossless Cross Data Center Replication (XDCR). Active(N) Lossless XDCR will give telcos and enterprises seeking to build 5G use cases a huge advantage by increasing their networks' resilience against outages and security risks, as well as adding extra protection against data loss.

Active(N) Lossless XDCR replicates data in real time across up to four or more data centers at once, allowing for "five nines" (ie, 99.999%) availability, which is quickly becoming a must-have in the age of 5G. "We can now offer a level of data center replication that no other data platform can offer, and that truly enables enterprises to have foolproof uptime and resiliency built into their architecture so that they can significantly increase their success in 5G monetization,"said VoltDB Chief Product Officer Dheeraj Remella.

As wireless networks and devices evolve to 5G and beyond, DefenderShield is advancing technology to protect the public from the potentially harmful biological effects these electromagnetic fields can have on the human body. Thousands of studies have linked chronic EMF radiation exposure to genetic damage, infertility, reproductive defects, cancer, neurological degeneration and nervous system dysfunction, immune system dysfunction, and developmental effects. Many scientists believe 5G's higher, more powerful wavelengths may increase the health effects EMF has on the body.

DefenderShield^® has launched Ultra Armor™ Shielding Technology, the first EMF shielding ever developed that can effectively block all wireless signals, including the full spectrum of 5G (Fifth Generation) frequencies used by network providers.

While claims to block 5G frequencies are widespread, DefenderShield's Ultra Armor™ is the first and only material in the world to shield up to 99.99% of low, mid, and high-band 5G frequencies reaching up to 90 GHz.

Executive Director of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Tom Smith, and BICSI President Todd W. Taylor, partnered to deliver a forward-looking Keynote address titled, "FUTURE WORLD VISION: Infrastructure Reimagined," at the BICSI Fall Conference held recently in Las Vegas.

Both Smith and Taylor informed attendees of the many exciting innovations leading the ICT world into the foreseeable future, including autonomous vehicles, intelligent buildings, and the many factors that are reshaping the built environment.

Smith and Taylor identified multiple obstacles to anticipate in the coming years, including those listed in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, as well as the U.S. infrastructure limitations highlighted in ASCE's report card and failure to act studies. They concluded with many feasible solutions.
