WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. The Purdue University Board of Trustees on Friday (Feb. 5) ratified two faculty positions, approved three new degree programs and awarded a posthumous bachelor’s degree. Trustees also issued resolutions of appreciation for friends of the university.
The ratified faculty positions are Barry Pittendrigh as the John V. Osmun Chair in Urban Entomology and Margo Monteith as a Distinguished Professor of Psychological Sciences, both on the West Lafayette campus.

AT&T and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs are deploying 5G multi-access computing (MEC) across the Puget Sound Health Care System in Seattle.
AT&T says that this is the industry’s first deployment of 5G and MEC across an entire VA health care and training facility. So far, a 5G distributed antenna system (DAS) has been installed. MEC and 5G mmWave spectrum infrastructure will be deployed this year.
AT&T identifies four use cases that could be piloted. They include:

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue University innovators have created technology aimed at replacing Morse code with colored digital characters to modernize optical storage. They are confident the advancement will help with the explosion of remote data storage during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Morse code has been around since the 1830s. The familiar dots and dashes system may seem antiquated given the amount of information needed to be acquired, digitally archived and rapidly accessed every day. But those same basic dots and dashes are still used in many optical media to aid in storage.
Novel Data Storage System Offers Relief for Frustrated Users, Companies
Most smartphone owners know the frustrations of trying to look through digital photos on a social media app to find the one they want. The pictures can be slow to load and sometimes not load at all.
Purdue University innovators have developed a solution to help cut down loading wait times and provide more efficient data storage options for corporations of all sizes. The researchers developed a novel data storage and computer technology system.
“Most organizations rely on something called erasure coding to reduce data storage costs,” said Vaneet Aggarwal, an associate professor of industrial engineering in Purdue’s College of Engineering. “The rapid growth of streaming and e-commerce has stressed underlying data storage systems. A key solution to relieving this traffic burden has been caching, which basically involves a computer memory

AT&T and the Purdue College of Engineering have created a 5G research and development testbed focusing on a new approach to security that harnesses 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) and quantum cryptography
Quantum cryptography uses the strange properties of quantum mechanics instead of computer code to secure information transmission. The testbed, which is located in the Indiana 5G zone, uses multi-access edge computing (MEC) in addition to 5G mmWave to enable near real-time data collection and analysis.
“We are proud to collaborate with Purdue College of Engineering and Indiana 5G Zone. Some of the world’s greatest innovations come through collaborations with world class universities,” AT&T Indiana President Bill Soards said in a press release about the AT&T 5G testbed. “5G is revolutionizing the way in which we interact with our physical environment, by connecting people, de
