For the fourth consecutive year, Verizon is recognized by CIO 100 for its impact on elevating and simplifying the network experience for customers.


Developed by Verizon, the Network Alpha Factory (NAF) enables a streamlined experience for customers to have the optimal network available while managing operational costs. Doing so helps transform Verizon’s network to be future-ready, faster, stronger, and more efficient. NAF is also vital to enable low-latency data and compute-heavy use cases such as Fixed Wireless Access and private 5G.

“Verizon’s Network Systems team winning its fourth consecutive CIO 100 Award validates our forward-thinking strategy, not only for producing innovative technology but accelerating the network experience for our customers,” said Velamur Sudharsan, Network Systems, SVP & CIO.

The annual CIO 100 Awards celebrate 100 organizations and the teams within them using Information Technology (IT) in innovative ways. These teams deliver business value, whether by creating competitive advantage, optimizing business processes, enabling growth or improving relationships with customers. The award is an acknowledged mark of enterprise excellence.

As the manufacturing sector modernizes, facilities are increasingly reliant on IoT and connected devices. But, what are the security risks and challenges of private cellular networks for Industry 4.0? What are the differences from a security perspective between enterprise IP and private cellular networks? So, what should we do for a better tomorrow? What is the solution?
Despite the immense opportunity for 5G and edge to transform manufacturing, the adoption of these new technologies has been hindered by the cost and complexity of implementation. Manufacturing tends to be clustered geographically, making it feasible to build Industry 4.0 capabilities directly into shared infrastructure. The article focuses on how we can leverage shared infrastructure and bring the internet at the edge to lower the capital expenditures required to implement new manufacturing capabilities, to both suppliers and manufacturers.
In manufacturing, there is currently a huge drive to get 5G networks onto factory floors as well as for critical applications like robots. Why? Shorter product life cycles require more frequent restructuring of production halls and changes in machinery. Modern productions that adapt quickly to changing processes via the benefits that 5G offers can reflect this.
NTT announced a collaboration with ServiceNow to make private 5G adoption easier and faster via an AI-enabled end-to-end workflow automation platform.
