During this pandemic, we've all been quick to thank our frontline workers, usually hospital workers and others providing essential services. And rightfully so.

In fact, in a recent article in CIO Magazine, CIO of City of Los Angeles Information Agency (ITA), Ted Ross, was quoted as ...
It seems like not that long ago that all we were hearing about was 3G and then 4G and all the great things it would be able to do. Now, seemingly overnight, we're hearing about 5G. Will this ever end? The short answer is "no". We'll probably soon be on to 6G and so on. Advances in technology are driving the need for networks to be constantly beefed...
