As surveillance systems, enterprise WiFi deployments, and IoT infrastructure continue to evolve, network bandwidth demands are steadily increasing. Devices such as high-resolution security cameras, WiFi 7 access points, and industrial IoT sensors frequently require multi-gigabit connectivity and reliable power delivery. The UniFi Switch Flex 2.5G 8 PoE (USW-Flex-2.5G-8-PoE), available for $199.00 on the Ubiquiti Store,
HPE has announced the HPE AI Grid, a comprehensive infrastructure solution aligned with the NVIDIA AI Grid reference architecture. It is designed to securely connect AI factories and distributed inference clusters across regional and remote edge locations. HPE positions this platform for service providers that need to deploy and manage thousands of distributed inference sites
Autonomous networks, once seen as a distant goal for telecom, are now a pressing priority. According to NVIDIA’s latest State of AI in Telecommunications report, network automation is the top AI use case for investment and actual returns, showing where operators find immediate value from AI. Although many telcos already automate set workflows, achieving true
Mobile operators moving toward open and virtualized RAN architectures are finding that the main challenges are economic, resource use in tight environments, automation, and long-term growth rather than technology readiness. vRAN offers clear benefits in flexibility and supplier options, but as deployments transition from pilot projects to commercial scale, operators need to address rising energy
Ubiquiti continues to expand its high-performance switching portfolio with the Pro XG lineup. It’s designed around 10GbE copper connectivity for environments that require higher access-layer bandwidth without moving directly to fiber or SFP+. The Pro XG series targets use cases such as next-generation WiFi access points, high-speed workstations, and direct-attached storage scenarios where multi-gig or
Backblaze has released its Q4 2025 Network Stats report, which provides insight into how traffic flows across its platform and what that activity reveals about modern AI infrastructure. This is the company’s second quarterly Network Stats publication, alongside its ongoing Drive Stats and Performance Stats series, and focuses on network-level behavior, including ingress, egress, bandwidth
At CES 2026, NVIDIA unveiled the Rubin platform, anchored by the Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale system. This is NVIDIA’s third-generation rack-scale architecture, combining six co-designed chips into a single unified system. The platform will be available from partners in the second half of 2026, with all six chips already back from fabrication and currently undergoing
Our last look at a Ubiquiti switch was nearly a year ago, when we reviewed the Ubiquiti Pro Max 48 PoE. With some time having passed since that review, we are turning our attention back to the Pro Max lineup with a much more compact option, the Ubiquiti Pro Max 16 PoE, along with the
Ubiquiti has expanded its cellular-ready portfolio with new 5G hardware designed to bring high-throughput wireless WAN connectivity to UniFi deployments.
