DEINE SUCHERGEBNISSE.

siticom, UNIBERG and Telekom cooked together! The joint cooking class was a fabulous get-together to promote team spirit, as well as a workshop to get to know each other's different tasks. In an informal setting, the members of the a key project for Telekom had the opportunity to meet each other in person and create a bond. The subject of siticom's work within our joint project is the creation of concepts in the area of further development of the NGN platform of Deutsche Telekom for Services & Platforms, in particular the support in the area of platform control (PFS), the CNTDB fixed platform and the network data layer (NDL). This includes planning, conception and realisation of a new test automation solution for the platform control, support of the telecom internal squads in the acceptance of the platforms and in the operation of all CNTDB environments. It was a pleasure to take the project to „real life“ and forget about the virtual meetings for one day, while enyojng delicious food like creme brulee. The meeting was a complete success! The team members got to know each other outside of work, which not only broke the ice but also improved the energy between the team members. We are sure that this event will have a positive impact on the project. Because the team that eats together stays together😊 We hope to further improve our relationship with UNIBERG and Telekom and we are looking forward to the next opportunity like this in the future!

Our labs are an important cornerstone of our outstanding expertise in 5G use case development, system validation and deployment automation. We are proud to announce our additional lab in Munich! At this very moment, the final components of our 5G lab are being installed in Munich. This means that our Munich location now also has a private 5G network with a first focus on use case integration and training on a new exciting 5G solution. More about the solution soon. The experience gained from our other 5G Labs is of course of great benefit to us. The Weiterstadt site in particular already has several 5G networks with different focal points since the beginning of the company's history. The Weiterstadt site already has several 5G networks with different focal points since the beginning of the company's history. We differentiate between two types. One are the Development Networks, used for pre-test of new releases, component integration and continuous development of our deployment, observability, and virtualisation solutions for 5G. Production networks are customer close installations, where we validate new system releases before we deploy them at costumer sites. Also these networks allow interested parties to trial use cases, see implementation options, latest solutions and features of our vendors or to get architecture and integration support. Interested to see a private 5G implementation? Get in touch with us! In addition, our Automation Lab is continuously researching methods for automating latency, load and performance tests, as well as message sequencing, which is already being used in several projects and provides precise insights into the interaction of components from a wide range of manufacturers. Impressions from the siticom Labs in Weiterstadt, Germany The development of our 5G lab capabilities is an important part of our partner onboarding activities, e.g. with Airspan, Cisco, Dell, Druid, JMA, Nokia, QCT and Sunwave.

Firefly Wallet On April 21st the IOTA Foundation released the all-new Firefly Wallet for the upcoming Chrysalis (IOTA 1.5) network. The Firefly Wallet will replace the old Trinity Wallet and comes with some interesting features. From the beginning the wallet will support the reusable addresses and also the new Stronghold feature. Stronghold will secure sensitive actions like address generation and transaction signing in an isolated application memory. The wallet is written in Rust and is built in a modular design, which makes it flexible for further developments in future. Firefly Link: https://firefly.iota.org/ Stronghold Link: https://blog.iota.org/iota-stronghold-6ce55d311d7c/ Chrysalis Main-Net release After the release of Firefly, the IOTA Foundation released on April 28th, 2021, the new Chrysalis network. With the new Chrysalis network, the foundation is doing the first step towards the fully decentralized IOTA 2.0 (Coordicide). “Based on Chrysalis developed features will need just small changes for Coordicide”, stated the foundation. So, the Chrysalis network for example already comes with the UTXO model and a new Ed25519 standards-based signature scheme, which makes the integration into already existing solutions much easier.
