Taimi and Rakuten Viber partner on a bot to educate people on LGBTQ+ topics

David Murphy Tuesday 21-02-2023 15:17

LGBTQ+ dating app, Taimi, has partnered with Rakuten Viber to add a bot to its freeware ecosystem. The bot, powered by Viber’s instant messaging technology, will have two functions. Firstly, to match members of its user base, and secondly, to serve as an educational resource for those who want to know more about the LGBTQ+ community. Viber has over 1bn downloads on Android alone.

Taimi said its aim is twofold. It wants to harness the opportunity to reach over a billion users with answers to questions relating to the LGBTQ+ community. By doing so, it hopes to promote acceptance, advocacy, and better mental and sexual health. Additionally, it said, the partnership is an opportunity to connect Viber users who are part of the LGBTQ+ community with one another. This will be based on compatibility factors in addition to identified sexual orientations.

RADHAKANT DAS

British rock band Queen's 1984 single 'Radio Ga Ga' was a commentary on television overtaking radio's popularity. Radio, since might have been relegated to the sidelines and yet, it never shared the fate of the telegram. Radio has begun to make waves again in a different technological avatar— the next-gen RAN, the open radio access network (O-RAN). The next-gen RAN is empowered by principles of intelligence and openness, and the architecture lays the foundation for building virtualized RAN on open hardware and cloud with embedded AI-powered radio control. This provides telecom companies with the flexibility to set up software-defined mobile networks, reducing the dependency on hardware manufacturers.

Overcoming the Challenges of Traditional RAN

RAN is built as a closed box that can only connect and communicate with adjacent components. Innovations and network enhancements almost entirely depend on hardware capability. The radio unit of legacy RAN, which is a purpose-built hardware dealing with the lower physical layer, has been exposed to more extreme environments than any other element in telecom network ecosystems. With O-RAN, users can monitor the system at a more granular level, whether at the chipset or RF (radio frequency) mechanical levels. This increases the quality of service, brings down the cost of maintenance, and reduces the overall rate of failure. Moreover, O-RAN provides cloud-scale economics and agility to RAN across technology types (3GPP). It gives telecom operators immense opportunity to add RAN to the cloud-transition plan when making their cloud strategy.

Moreover, the next-gen RAN uses open interfaces to allow smaller operators and vendors to introduce services or customize networks to fit individual needs. These open interfaces also enable a more competitive and vibrant supplier ecosystem through multi-vendor deployments. At the same time, these designs provide innovation with increased speed and democracy.

What is most important when preparing for Open RAN? A Conversation with Open RAN Pioneer Tareq Amin of Rakuten Mobile and Rakuten Symphony

April 12, 2023

Executive Summary

The industry has accepted that the future is based on open interfaces and disaggregation throughout the network, especially in the radio access network, since this is the largest and most complicated part of the operation. It is important to understand the value of such open systems comes from the opportunities for large scale industrialized automation and adoption of cloud native software practices. These capabilities need to be well understood and operational before Open RAN is ready for network wide rollout. Development of these skills and processes and changes to organization should start now, to ensure the organization is fully prepared to scale out the total change when open radio units are fully available at scale.

Tareq Amin's confidence in Open RAN came from previous experiences, learning the importance of automation, optimization, and disaggregation.

Building an ecosystem around a new technology and convincing skeptics were some of the biggest challenges faced.

Off-the-shelf processing power advancements will help overcome remaining challenges like radio unit choice maturity and component price parity.

Amin and his team have consistently proven the viability of Open RAN through tangible results, achieving cost reductions, accelerated deployment timelines, and high-quality network performance.

The "Mobile as a Software" approach emphasizes the need for telecom operators to change their operating models, focusing on automation and cloud technologies.

Rakuten + Rocky Linux = open RAN economics and sustainability at scale

By Neal Doran 30 March 2023

Switching lanes from Red Hat to Rocky Linux for its cloud telco OS is designed to keep Rakuten’s disaggregated network model sustainable at scale.

Close collaboration with telco-focused open source community group is said to offer efficiency gains in delivering high-performance, latency-sensitive applications.

Rakuten to share practical experience in support of Rocky development, with goal of fostering widespread benefit for open RAN and long-term prominence of more ambitious open networks.

Wann geht es wohl die nächste Treppe nach unten ?
Der Kursverlauf folgt den fundamentalen Missständen im Unternehmen, für Anleger seit Jahren wirklich eine nervliche Zerreißprobe.

waren aber einigermaßen vermeidbar, hätte man auf die kritischen Stimmen gehört.

nach 8 Jahren sollte allen Anlegern schon Warnung genug sein. Solche Depotleichen wie Rakuten sind verantwortlich für anhaltenden Misserfolg an der Börse.
Also Finger weg von solchen Schrottpapieren muss die Lehre heißen.
