“Despite the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the industry, airlines are increasingly focusing on adopting next-generation digital solutions such as mobility, machine learning (ML), Big Data analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) to identify cost-saving and revenue-generating opportunities,” said Abhilash Varkey Abraham, Aerospace & Defense Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “Additionally, a few major airlines have already committed to migrating their entire IT infrastructure to the cloud over the next 3-5 years and this trend is likely to continue and grow, mainly among low-cost carriers.”

Abraham added: “From a regional airline IT market perspective, North American airlines were the highest revenue contributor in 2019 and are expected to remain so during the forecast period. Further, APAC is expected to be the key growth engine over the medium and long terms.”

With global airlines losing $25 billion due to disruptions in operations and with 50% of them addressable via digital solutions, a huge opportunity exists for IT suppliers to innovate and expand their portfolio. Market opportunities include:

  • Real-time data analytics with an interactive display/graphical user interfaces (GUI) will have higher penetration in the medium term, which will serve as a growth opportunity for suppliers.
  • With airlines embracing the capabilities of next-gen technologies such as AI and ML, solution providers are encouraged to integrate these technologies into their solutions.
  • Vendors are encouraged to develop solutions to solve airlines’ disruption pain points, especially in the areas of passenger re-accommodation and compensation.
  • Adopting Big Data platforms can streamline the operations of airlines, reducing cost and time.

DSP Labs of Onchain Launches A New Generation of Distributed Storage Protocol

Leave a comment

BEIJING, June 18, 2020 — DSP Labs (dsplabs.io), a subsidiary of Onchain, announced the launch of a distributed storage protocol DSP (Distributed Storage Protocol) plan. It is reported that the DSP (Distributed Storage Protocol) protocol is a multi-dimensional new generation Internet protocol paradigm based on data file encryption, distribution, storage, sharing. The goal of the DSP protocol is to become the core infrastructure of the Next Generation Internet.

This move has the opportunity to create a distributed, decentralized, and interconnected parallel world network to create a higher performance, more economical, safer, and more open data sharing transmission protocol and file storage network. As the foundation of the Next Generation Internet, it provides fast, free and safe interaction of information and data for the entire network, reduces the cost of data transmission and storage, and accelerates the revolution in the era of information freedom.

DSP Labs, recently established by Onchain, is a research, development and deployment organization that improves the Next Generation Internet technologies. DSP Lab is building a new set of free and open network protocols. Based on this set of protocol, data freedom and interconnection freedom in the true sense can be realized. At the same time, a user data file sharing library can be formed under a free network. This database is neutral and jointly owned by the users themselves. This means that no institution can control it. Of course, to build such a database, someone must put in a lot of work to maintain its authenticity. Traditionally, intermediaries like technology giants, banks and governments are used to ensure database security. And now, it is based on mathematical and physical database trust. In other words, the database is self-monitoring, self-operating, and self-managing. No need to rely on centralized organization commitment to protect data from harm or how to store or use it. All this returns to the individual, and the storage, distribution, use, sharing, and authorization of the data can be completely controlled by the individual. As an open and free network protocol, it is necessary to enable any device with networking capabilities to join the network through the new protocol and become a data node in the network. It is not limited to devices with special configuration or special authorization, all devices share the same network environment, and the data of all devices are interwoven in the same network.

Founded in 2016, Onchain is a leading blockchain technology company in China. It is committed to building an open-source and transparent trust scheme. Onchain lives by the technical strategy of "independent code + open-source", always striving to be world-class.

Ribbon’s enhanced Analytics portfolio is specifically designed to help mobile network operators and service providers deliver advanced voice service quality insights down to the application, subscriber, device, and service level over their VoLTE networks. The Ribbon Analytics portfolio is based on the latest in cloud-based technology that easily scales vertically and horizontally to deliver numerous out of the box capabilities to address critical VoLTE network and service related problems.

As mobile providers begin to deploy 5G network data services, they are still heavily reliant on VoLTE/IMS-based architectures to support voice services.

"Today’s communications networks are extremely large and complex and will become even more so with the increased adoption and deployment of new 5G and IoT services," said Charlotte Patrick, Senior Industry Analyst and Founder of Charlotte Patrick Consult. "This will not only necessitate that service providers have the advanced analytics toolsets required to reduce operational costs and network complexities while improving the customer experience, but they must also leverage intelligent service assurance capabilities that allow them to quickly identify, isolate, diagnose and proactively resolve network issues before they escalate."

"Our customers are faced with numerous network operational challenges including service complexity, security threats, and rising costs," said Tony Scarfo, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Cloud and Edge Business Unit at Ribbon. "The Ribbon Analytics portfolio underpins and addresses these issues by leveraging a single pane of glass for one unified view of the network. More importantly, it is designed to help our customers better understand their end-user customers and model their network and services to better support and protect them."

Ribbon Analytics Benefits:

  • Provides a 360-degree view and understanding of real time communications usage enabling service providers to extract greater value for end-users, their services and their networks.
  • Enables service providers and businesses to expedite troubleshooting, intelligently manage their networks, and deliver advanced insights reducing operational expenditures while improving the overall subscriber experience.
