In a new report, the telecommunications company Huawei highlighted several infrastructure problems, noting that it does not believe that it is sufficient to handle the needs of the metaverse. For the Chinese giant, 5G and 6G networks can.
In a three-part series released this Tuesday (20), Huawei's Chief Specialist for the Middle East Region in Business and Strategy Consulting, Abhinav Purohit, commented on the infrastructure to support, as well as the potential of metaverse
“The infrastructure is the base layer, which means that without a proper structure, none of the other developments are possible. This is why technological processes are at the center of the metaverse. The other levels include Experience, Discovery, Creator Economy, Spatial Computing, Decentralization, and Human Interface 2”.
"5G networks will dramatically improve bandwidth, reducing contention and network latency, while 6G will increase speeds by another order of magnitude."
In a nutshell, the metaverse will allow users to enjoy realistic and spatially aware experiences, a blend of virtual content in the physical world. For this, Huawei drew attention to:
“Delivering such an experience will require innovations in fields such as hybrid local and remote real-time rendering, video compression, edge computing and cross-tier visibility, as well as spectrum defense, work on future connectivity metaverse readiness and cellular standards, networking, improved latency between devices and within radio access networks (RANs), and much more.
A number of connectivity challenges lie ahead 4 , but 5G offers a robust solution to address these current and future issues.”
Metaverse for young Brazilians in vulnerable situations
With the aim of teaching young brazilians in a situation of social vulnerability regarding the crypto and blockchain universe, Upland announced, this Wednesday (21), a long-term partnership with UNICEF Brazil.
“The educational program content is curated by UNICEF's One Million Opportunities (1MiO) initiative and developed by Upland. Led by UNICEF Brazil, the initiative (1MiO) is a multisectoral articulation between the private sector, governments, civil society and youth, creating opportunities for professional qualification, employability and income generation for young people (from 14 to 29 years old) in vulnerable situations”.
