The “Super-Channel” innovation
is taking DWDM to new heights in
capacity and optical performance.
March/April 2019 I 47
When considering smart cities
and the intelligently connected
ecosystem envisioned by Intel’s
Klaus and the ICT and IT
industries at large, a number
of serious questions need to be
asked. Will history repeat itself?
Will vested players successfully
collaborate to deliver on the
intelligent ecosystem or will the
endeavor succumb to the failure
to make the major impact that
AI systems, machine learning,
and cognitive computing
promised to deliver to society
many decades ago? Will selfdriving
autonomous vehicles
still be tested on city streets
100 years from now (200 years
cumulatively)? Only time will tell.
