Hurdles to Mass AR/VR Adoption and How to Clear Them

2021-05-10T11:34:14-05:00

Augmented and Virtual Realities (AR or VR) go hand-in-hand with disruptive potential. These reality-bending technologies present a level of innovation and versatility that can fundamentally change how industries operate or how value is delivered to users. Whether it’s advanced medicine for healthcare or immersive learning in education, the Extended Reality segment presents some of the most exciting applications of our time — so why haven’t we seen AR/VR take off yet? In truth, before we can realize existing potential at the intersection of real and virtual worlds, there is a lot of infrastructural development that has to be accomplished first. Nevertheless, the first step to overcoming any obstacle is understanding [...]

The Gamer’s Edge Revisited

2021-05-05T10:10:34-05:00

Traditional multiplayer games, such as Fortnite, Minecraft and World of Warcraft connect you with players in your own home or across the globe. Part of the challenge and thrill of playing comes with the reacting to the unexpected delivered by interacting with other gamers. You connect to the platform via your internet connection and the graphics are processed on your gaming device. <Just for fun, you can check out a list of the hottest multiplayer games HERE.> Conversely, cloud gaming is gaining momentum and allows players to access and play video games over a live streamed connection. Tech giants such as Google, Xbox and Amazon are all in a race [...]

At The Edge with Bill Severn for Capacity Media

2021-08-18T10:04:21-05:00

Emerging technologies of today largely require extremely low latency to properly operate. The challenge of achieving such low latency is easily met through ‘the edge’. In simple terms, operating on the edge means bringing data transfers and computing power as close to the end user as possible. In the past, data had been shipped to and from core data centers to end users, sometimes traveling quite a distance. As technologies rapidly evolve and include features such as real time updates that require increasingly large bandwidths, this is no longer efficient. We are in the throes of a digital transformation, and one major aspect of this is moving operations to the [...]

In the Heart of the Country: How Network Diversity and Edge Computing can Work Simultaneously

2021-08-18T10:05:16-05:00

Here in Omaha, we know that location matters. As an edge data center in Omaha, the center of the USA, we are the backbone of the internet. Our recent feature in Telecom Ramblings is all about the advantages of our central location and our own Todd Cushing, explains what’s cool about Omaha, along with some lesser-known facts about our great midwest location. As Todd explains, “Omaha is a massive interconnection point for cloud, service, content providers and carriers. It’s located close to Google’s largest North American cloud node and is in close proximity to a Facebook hyperscale facility.” Content companies, ISPs, communications companies, government and educational facilities can all take [...]
