How Future Generations Will Remember Us
5G and 6G
6G engineers must work on infrastructure, devices and software to build the next-generation communication systems. 6G connectivity can not be done by simply scaling or updating today’s technology.
For years, businesses have employed IoT, but with the advent of 5G and Edge AI Computing, these use cases are now more effective and widespread.
An architect asked AI to design skyscrapers of the future. This is what it proposed
