TECHNOLOGY TREND 1: COMMUNICATIONS Communication technologies also include sensors in the form of IoT and high-capacity data storage in the form of cloud technology. Cloud technology will be further enhanced with a distributed cloud whereby one cloud may run in multiple locations. Hyperscalers are enormous data centres, with large networks of servers connected to a single network.
The future of communications is also about green and cubic broadband networks that can provide harmonised communication and sensing (HCS), amongst others: The connections would be AI-native, secure, and trustworthy.

High-speed networks include the Internet, and future trends will be about connectivity for everyone, and we will also be witnessing terabyte internet speeds. Internet speed is generally the time the connection can download or upload data. Japan set a new world record in 2021 with 319 terabytes per second (Tbps), which means getting all of Netflix’s offerings immediately after clicking the download button. In other words, 57,000 full-length films can be downloaded in less than one second. Countries and nations have stressed the importance of being intelligently connected, such as China in its 14 th 5-year plan, EU’s 2030 Digital Compass Plan, and Vision 2030 of the USA.
