How Wireless Internet Providers Can Now Overcome Obstacles in Their Path to Faster and Broader Service

How Wireless Internet Providers Can Now Overcome Obstacles in Their Path to Faster and Broader Service

This Industry Viewpoint was authored by Sergiu Nedevschi, Co-Founder & CSO at Tarana Wireless

Fixed wireless access (FWA) networks have long been used to provide basic internet service in areas with no fiber or coax infrastructure. Unfortunately, these legacy FWA solutions are significantly challenged by the obstructions pervasive in most residential neighborhoods, which block wireless signals and severely limit these networks’ utility as demand for faster internet service continues to rise. These obstructions … [visit site to read more]

CVx Expo Recap

[blog]cvx-expo-recap

Bicom Systems has been a long-term partner of ChannelVision Magazine for many years. Over the time of our relationship, we have contributed to several editorials, podcasts, webinars, and more. When the CV team announced they were putting together a trade show, we knew the Bicom Systems team had to be there! 

CVx Expo was the first trade show that brought together the ChannelVision Magazine audience in person. The vendors and attendees were a mix of channel partners and providers looking to “sell and celebrate the technologies and tools that are driving digital transformations.” Bicom Systems attended the show as a Silver sponsor and was one of the hundred vendors on the exhibit floor. 

Overview

Our team was greeted with an extremely welcoming atmosphere when we arrived at the show. Tons of organizers were available to answer questions and distribute materials like brochures, pamphlets, and booth information. We especially liked the reading corner near the main entrance with each exhibitor’s brochures! Like many vendors, we are still finding our footing regarding trade shows after the pandemic. However, the Bicomers who attended CVx are happy to report it was a successful three-day show. 

What Did We Do

Our booth was equipped with two demo stations, covering PBXware and gloCOM Meeting. When demoing the new features in gloCOM Meeting, we were sure to use products by our partner, Poly! Attendees saw the clarity of the video when pairing gloCOM Meeting with the Poly Studio P15 Camera. On top of that, they heard excellent call quality from the Poly Sync 20 Speakerphone and Poly 6220 Voyager Headset. (A personal favorite of Business Success Manager, Patrice Bramat!)

Aside from the ongoing demos, we also had live presentations playing for our audience. Pairing the presentations and the brochures ensured our attendees had enough information about our products to dive into a live demo. It also attracted visitors who have yet to consider adding telephony or UCaaS to their offering. 

One of our Account Managers, Saulio Reyes, had an exclusive interview with CVTV. He shared the current offerings and promotions we have going on and also discussed the opportunities in the current business market. Do you want to watch the interview? Head over to our YouTube channel

Special Guests

Although one of the main reasons we attend trade shows is to meet with prospects, we never miss an opportunity to celebrate our current partners. As part of our sponsorship, we were gifted passes to the show and reached out to a few partners in the area to see if they would be interested in attending. 

To name a few: 

  • Southern California Telecom 
  • VoiceNext 
  • Mountain West
  • I-Evolve 
  • The Maynard Group
  • Plexus Technology 
  • VoIPify
  • TelSynergy
  • IPFone 
  • Tempe Technology
  • SNET 

To Summarize

Overall, our time at CVx Expo was great! We met some incredible businesses ready to enhance their offering. The traffic on the exhibit floor was sparse, but the lead quality was tremendous.

We are looking forward to building new relationships with them. Save the date for CVx 2023

STC GDC builds data centre in Indonesia and assesses LNG power supply in Thailand

ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STC GDC), a leading data centre provider, has announced the structural completion of its first data centre facility in Indonesia – STT Jakarta 1.

The new facility is the first building in a data centre campus developed under a joint venture with leading Indonesian conglomerate Triputra Group and global investment company Temasek. Once completed, the data centre campus will support up to 72 megawatts of critical IT capacity, with STT Jakarta 1 supporting up to 19.5 megawatts when fully operational in Q2 2023.

STT Jakarta 1 is strategically located in Bekasi Regency, close to Jakarta’s eastern border and has a gross floor area (GFA) of 18,000 square metres. Catering to hyperscalers alongside Indonesian and multi-national businesses across the banking & finance, content, gaming and e-commerce industries, the facility will help to provide the digital infrastructure needed to meet the ever-increasing demand for digital and cloud services. As part of its ongoing expansion plans, PT STT GDC Indonesia has inked a land contract to build a second data centre facility at the campus. 

PT STT GDC Indonesia has also signed an MoU with PT Mora Telematika Indonesia (Moratelindo), one of Indonesia’s largest telecommunications infrastructure and network providers. As part of this MoU, Moratelindo will set up a point of presence (PoP) in STT Jakarta 1 to serve the domestic, regional and international connectivity needs of customers in the data centre campus.

STT Jakarta 1’s data centre operations will be carbon-neutral from day one, a reminder of the importance of energy management in modern data centres. In fact STT GDC recently announced that it was investigating the use of cold energy from liquefied natural gas (LNG) transportation – energy that might otherwise be wasted – to cool a data centre in Thailand.

STT GDC has signed an agreement with PTT Digital Solutions, the IT services arm of Thailand’s state-owned oil and gas company PTT, to carry out a feasibility study on harnessing the cold energy released from the regasification of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to produce electricity and chilled water for cooling a data centre.
