Developing More Innovative Technologies_______________________________________________________________
Dr. Tasca deeply supports the dissemination of blockchain technologies. His advice will propel SONM to become an active participant that delivers innovative advanced technologies that are urgently needed in the ongoing industrial revolution. Dr. Tasca said:
“We have reached the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another. New technologies are dramatically transforming our society into something very different from what we were used to thinking about over the last few decades. The possibilities that have been unlocked by billions of people and smart devices collectively connected — with unprecedented processing power, storage capacity, and access to knowledge — are vast.
By 2025, most of Earth’s population, will be online and by 2030, the Internet of Things will comprise 100 billion connected devices. Under this extraordinary wave of connectivity and digital transformation, SONM distributed cloud technology will allow processing a nearly infinite amount of data streamed from a world of sensors and connected devices that will envelop our business and private lives, changing products and habits.”
