Business Development Manager Alex Rawitz wrote for the 2016 Spring/Summer issue of CCA Voice. The article outlines a proactive approach to maintaining network power.

 "Just like an individual’s health, there are many aspects of a healthy network. A big part of a healthy network that is often out of sight and out of mind is backup power. Like individual healthcare, there is an increasing need to focus on preventative wellness in the network by proactively using data. As the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution grows, IoT will add new stresses, require new abilities, and demand more from the aging infrastructure of networks and carriers across the U.S. To realize an IoT future, it is necessary to improve best practices around network health, including backup power."

In a recent article on Telecompetitor, Joan Engebretson covers the future of the FCC's Universal Service Fund with an analysis of Chairman Tom Wheeler's latest blog post on the subject and other sources that seem to inform the direction of the program. Take a look at the article here.

The Connect America Fund Phase II promises to deliver over $10 billion for rural broadband development. Here's a recap of where the program came from.

 This year will mark the first year that money will flow from the Connect America Fund II (CAF II) to telecommunications companies for the purpose of increasing broadband connectivity across the country. The FCC has completed its allocation plan with 10 carriers receiving over $1.5 billion per year for the next six (and possibly a seventh) years. The impact of the CAF II program will be determined by the companies putting the money to work and remains to be seen. Here we look at where this massive cash program came from.

SERVATO CORP. CLOSES INVESTMENT ROUND TO FUND SALES GROWTH
Family Office Leads Louisiana Syndicate with Strategic, Institutional and Angel Investor Participation

(New Orleans, LA) Servato Corp., an “Industrial Internet of Things” technology and service provider based in New Orleans, announced today a new investment round led by ATCO Investment Company (ATCO). Investors included the Louisiana Fund, Fibrebond Corporation, other North Louisiana family offices and the NOLA Angel Network.

For the Internet of Things to reach its full potential, we're going to need 5G. Without it, the promise of efficiency and automation unlocked by the deluge of data will stall.

The “Internet of Things” (IoT) – the technological trend of connecting nearly everything to the Internet – promises to revolutionize our lives. Experts tell us that we can expect dramatic impacts in settings as broad as home automation, wearable technology, industrial automation and smart cities.

Guarding against Internet downtime is hard, and sometimes major outages can occur in vast territories over the U.S. These outages, like this Southeast Internet outage, can happen across carriers and take hours to fix.

Last week users took to social media to decry a major network outage that affected Internet and Cellphone access for a huge swath of the Southeast United States, according to USA Today. The article details reports of Internet outages that began on 3pm Tuesday, August 4, 2015 and lasted for approximately 5 hours.
