Markus Viitamäki, Senior Infrastructure Architect at Embark Studios is back on the podcast. In this episode, he and Mattias Fridström discuss Markus’ previous engagement in the world’s largest gaming festival DreamHack, when to establish local gaming sites to meet customer needs (and what the requirements are), DDoS attacks in the gaming industry, and whether gamers really understand how the Internet is working.

In this episode, Markus Viitamäki, Senior Infrastructure Architect at Embark Studios joins the podcast to discuss trends in the gaming industry, main drivers to creating a new game, and how much latency and bandwidth are affecting the gaming experience.

Misha Kuperman, Chief Reliability Officer at Zscaler is back on the podcast. In this episode he and Mattias Fridström discuss if the recent trade tariffs will impact services from Zscaler, whether people in general understand cloud connectivity, if security in the cloud is just a waste of bandwidth resources, what customers know about the public internet, if security standards in telecoms are important, and what security trends we will see in enterprise networking in five years’ time.

In this episode, Misha Kuperman, Chief Reliability Officer at Zscaler joins the podcast to discuss the past and recent developments in enterprise networking, whether the current geopolitical situation has had any impact on the way enterprises think about security, what’s behind the ‘zero trust’ concept and how this works in real life.

Eric Löwgren, Head of Network at data center provider GleSYS, is back on the podcast. This time, he and Mattias Fridström discuss physical and cyber security in data centers, optimizing sustainability through measures such as heat recovery (and getting customers to pay a premium for sustainability), increasing the understanding of network architecture among customers, and what the future data center will look like.

Eric Löwgren, Head of Network at data center provider GleSYS, joins the podcast for a discussion on what impacts the selection of where to put a data center, the trend of moving things out of the cloud, AI driving power density and connectivity demands, and attracting ‘lead guitar’ talent to the data center industry.

Robert Maher, CTO of Infinera, is back on the podcast. This time, he and Mattias Fridström discuss quantum physics in optical networks, the development of hollow-core fiber, optimizing power consumption in the AI data center era, and more.

Robert Maher, CTO of Infinera, joins the podcast to talk about how the optical business has developed during the last 20 years, the strive for constant innovation, openness and disaggregation in the telecoms space, the impact of AI in areas such as self-provisioning, and hyperscalers building their own gear.

Anders Vestergren, Vice President, Head of Solution Area Network Management at Ericsson is back on the podcast. In this episode, the discussion centers around differentiation of mobile networks, component shortages, development and use cases of AI in mobile networks, finding and training talent with the right skill set, the road to 6G and 7G, the future for quantum computing in mobile services, and telecoms’ massive investments in security.

Anders Vestergren, Vice President, Head of Solution Area Network Management at Ericsson joins the podcast to talk about where we are with the global roll-out of 5G, fixed wireless vs mobile access, edge computing, and the softwareization of mobile networks. A great discussion with high-end use cases from the PGA Tour and Taylor Swift concerts.

Ryan Lafler, CTO of Quantum Corridor is back on the podcast to discuss the gender split in the quantum industry, funding of quantum development, sustainability trends, and why quantum entanglement – which Ryan believes is 3-5 years out – is the holy grail of quantum communications.

In this episode, Ryan Lafler, CTO of Quantum Corridor joins the podcast to talk about quantum network transmissions, the impact of AI on quantum computing, and real use cases like generative AI, graphics applications, climate modelling, and vaccine development.

David Tomalin, Group CTO at CityFibre is back on the podcast to talk about preventing accidental fiber cuts, transparency vs. openness when it comes to network routes, the trend towards multi-network resiliency, sustainability in the networking industry, and more.

In this episode, David Tomalin, Group CTO at CityFibre joins the podcast to discuss what sorts of fiber are used for broadband services, how to choose the best locations and routes when expanding a network, and the need for more intelligent data in the business.
