The first generation of wireless communication technology (1G) was introduced when NTT launched the first commercial cellular network in Tokyo in 1979. Successive generations have followed approximately every 10 years. Analog voice was the primary 1G service; 2G brought digital voice and introduced data services with text messages. Internet access ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) extends Internet connectivity beyond traditional devices like desktop and laptop computers, smartphones, and tablets, to other devices that use embedded technology to communicate and interact over the Internet. IoT platforms are the building blocks of IoT solutions, offering multiple services such as application enable...

The COVID-19 pandemic has not only revealed supply chain challenges in terms of meeting pandemic-induced demand but also showcased weaknesses with regard to facing disruptions on a global scale. Immediate impacts include supply volatility, steep price increases, and high levels of uncertainty. Despite the manufacturing reboot, supply chain inter...

Energy generation is the most crucial building block of a country’s economic development and a key determinant of its progress. Population growth requires a higher degree of economic development, which directly requires more energy to be generated. To meet the rising energy demands, the energy sector is under pressure to expand rapidly as countries...

South Korea has one of the highest per capita plastic packaging consumption rates globally, as well as one of the highest rates of collection and recycling. The country is strongly pushing the circular economy of plastic recycling through new policies and initiatives and is building on country-wide programs, such as waste disposal fees based on vol...
