GLOBAL Page 20 Autonomous cars, smart cities and the lively next-generation data center industry were on the agenda at the 2018 BICSI Korea Tech Day. ICT professionals gathered on 20 November to share ICT infrastructure technology trends and search for industrial development directions. Speakers talked about a wired network standard that connects devices in an autonomous car and 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1. The details of physical elements such as cable size, thickness and volume were discussed to highlight the safety factor of communication reliability for autonomous cars. In addition, wired network infrastructure technology for hyperscale data centers was introduced. The technology development is aimed at achieving 800Gbps and 1.6Tbps as well as 400Gbps data processing. It was suggested that cable quality and construction quality must be secured in order to process large amounts of data by bundling multiple cables. The issue of PoE ++, which supplies up to 100W of power over the network, was also announced. With this technology, high-performance network devices and notebooks can be powered through network cables without additional power. PoE ++ technology uses four pairs of twisted-pair in Ethernet cable, so it is important to secure cable and construction quality for stable power transmission. As a result of these various technological developments, requirements for cable and construction quality are increasing. Beyond the energetic discussion of our presenters, global network solution companies such as Fluke Networks, Leviton and CommScope introduced various network technology trends. Delegates browsed company products in the Exhibit Hall and consulted with company representatives. Thank you to all who shared their knowledge at this learning and networking event. We will keep you informed as to the time and place of the next one. EVENT RECAP. 2018 BICSI KOREA TECH DAY 20 November 2018 • JW Marriott • Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul
