    2. 2An Ocean of Opportunity for Submarine SMART Cables
      COVER ARTICLE
      Members
      Rebecca BoscoHidden far beneath the waves of the world's oceans lies a crucial component of the Internet's infrastructure: submarine cable networks. These massive cables are a marvel of human ingenuity that span the greatest geographical obstacles on our planet to link people and devices for instantaneous communication. Yet, these underwater networks may hold the potential to fulfill outsized roles beyond their primary function of transmitting terabytes of data per second.Data CentersNetwork Infrastructure      10 min
    3. 3The Enernet: A New Model for Energy
      Feature
      Members
      Patrick Mahoney, Brian Patterson, Todd TaylorWhen electrical demand outstrips generation, grid operators traditionally engage in a process known as balancing the grid, which may include rolling blackouts. Distributing energy production efficiently requires a new model to assist with power quality and surety. A new grid-connected local generation schema where the local community contributes could be the electrical distribution solution that is needed for a brighter future.Power DistributionSmart Buildings      10 min
    4. 4The Convergence of Power with Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
      Feature
      Members
      Patrick Mahoney, Brian Patterson, Todd TaylorThe line between the energy and communications systems industries is more blurred than ever. Determining the point at which power and data delivery converge has become more difficult due to the increasing overlap. Now more than ever, the two industries must learn to play in the same sandbox. There are ICT cabling systems that can deliver data and power to the devices simultaneously and it is becoming much easier to enable smart devices in a building that facilitates the convergence of power and ICT infrastructure.Data CentersEnergy EfficiencyFault Managed PowerFiber OpticsPower over EthernetSmart Buildings      11 min
