Approaching the limits of air cooling China’s datacentre market has been growing at an annual rate of around 30 per cent since 2012, reports the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology. Cloud computing, AI and big data are among the megatrends stimulating the growth of the datacentre market. Increases in chip density and computing complexity have created a steady rise in the heat load of computing equipment. Air cooling’s ability to meet this increased demand for heat dis...

ITU ​​​​​​​​The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) – the United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies (ICTs) – has launched a new Focus Group to support the emergence of ICT networks able to control their behaviour autonomously in the interests of efficiency. Participation is open to all interested parties. The ITU Focus Group on ‘autonomous networks’ will lead an exploratory ‘pre-standardization’ study to determine how I...

Dec 11, 2020 Cities are home to 3,5-billion people, half of humanity, and this figure is projected to rise to 5-billion by 2030. Government, industry, academia and civil society are working together to accelerate the digital transformation of cities and communities to meet today’s challenges and challenges to come. A new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) highlights their mut...
