One of the more widespread concerns of the looming era of artificial intelligence is how it will impact the traditional job market. Fears have been rampant on how it could make many blue-collar jobs obsolete, with robots replacing those in professions that require manual labor and thus further increasing gaps between the haves and have-nots. But a new comprehensive Nokia … Read More
Published in The Canadian Jewish News. With all the trauma and turmoil that has engulfed this country after more than a year of war, it seems almost trivial to describe the plight of daily life in central Israel under the spectre of missile attacks. After all, we are not in the thick of battle like the soldiers or on the … Read More

It’s been less than a decade since the Fourth Industrial Revolution came into our lives. This revolutionary era – also known as Industry 4.0 – predicted an increasingly interconnected and automated future marked by dramatic advances in robotics, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, 5G networks and the Internet of Things. Like previous industrial revolutions, it promised to radically transform industries and … Read More
In the realm of optical networks, speed has long been the driving force. Our global communications infrastructure, powered by high-capacity fiber optic cables, has thrived on the principle that faster is better. Nokia Bell Labs has been at the forefront of this pursuit, pushing the boundaries of optical speed and achieving world-record milestones. But the landscape has shifted. In the … Read More
We are entering a new era of quantum technologies that will unlock new capabilities in computing, networking and sensing. But there is one quantum technology that will have an immediate and direct impact on all of humankind: quantum security. Quantum computing’s problem-solving capabilities will indeed be revolutionary in many industries, but they will also present a devastating threat against the … Read More
We all want seamless, high-quality and errorless connectivity. But for most of us this is a luxury, and the occasional latency and disruptions are annoyances we can handle. For others, though, this is a necessity. In mission critical industries such as mines, ports and factories, communication breakdowns can be a matter of life and death. The network must work, all … Read More
Sandro Lanfranco is designing the most important mobile network of his life — the network that will make the first cellular connection on the Moon. It’s an awesome task that requires a team effort of researchers and engineers from across Nokia to prepare for the monumental maiden mission later this year. For example, there’s principal engineer Luis Maestro, who is responsible for the … Read More
For much of the 20th century, there was a passionate debate among astronomers about the origins of our universe. Astronomers had already established that the universe was constantly expanding. But the question remained: Why? The experts were divided. There were those who believed in the Big Bang theory of a hot early universe that was created in a massive explosion-like … Read More
The future belongs to 6G. This next generation of connectivity is expected to merge the physical, human and digital worlds, effectively linking our planet in a secure, inclusive and sustainable way. But the road to that defining era runs through the highly technical standardization process. It’s where the groundwork is laid, it’s where the promise of 6G is translated into … Read More
Published in The Canadian Jewish News. One would think that news of an impending, widescale attack from your nuclear threshold, sworn enemy nation would set off a panic. But that’s not what happened when I heard that Iran had finally unleashed its first direct assault on Israel. After living through the horrors of the murderous Oct. 7 Hamas infiltration there was something … Read More
