environments.
At MWC LA, IBM is announcing the following innovations, which
are designed to equip businesses for the next stage of their
digital journeys:
- A new collaboration between Boston Dynamics and IBM is
focused on delivering data analysis at the edge to help companies
address worker safety, optimize field operations, and boost
maintenance productivity in industrial environments such as
manufacturing facilities, power plants and warehouses. Enabled by
AI and hybrid cloud innovations from IBM Research, IBM Consulting
will develop edge payloads that integrate with Spot, the agile,
mobile robot from Boston Dynamics. Boston Dynamics and IBM will
announce these new innovations during the joint keynote at Mobile

"The end of communications services as we know them" revealed that
59% of high performing CSPs surveyed agree they must become secure
clouds infused with AI and automation. The study also says, that
Communications Service Providers (CSPs) are thinking more
strategically about 5G-enabled edge computing more for its ability
to building more revenues as 5G and edge computing usher in a new
reality for businesses," said Andrew
Coward, General Manager, Software Defined Networking, IBM.
