It is an obligatory and unpostponable necessity to rewrite the rules for the development of our societies without forgetting to respect the principles of sustainability. It is an extreme necessity to preserve our planet from the indiscriminate consumption of the resources it provides us with. It is for this reason that this issue is taken into account in almost all summits and conferences around the world. Artificial intelligence has been identified as one of the options that have arrived to bring solutions. Artificial intelligence receives more and more funding We are surrounded by Artificial Intelligences. This technology is already integrated into systems and applications that we use on a daily basis. Today's AI is capable of recognizing different configurations, making diagnoses, learning models and even reasoning. But it is also important to recognize that it finds innovative solutions within science and art. For this reason, as time goes by, more and more importance is being given to investing funds in different AI systems. Artificial intelligence and sustainability Artificial intelligence incorporates a large number of benefits for the environment. And it is possible to apply these benefits thanks to thinking computers. Among the various processes that computers using AI can perform are, for example, data processing and calculations. In addition, they apply predictive models. As if this were not enough, also within the field of pharmacology, AI is outstanding as they can develop a greater number of drugs in less time by speeding up research and processing times. This in turn reduces costs. Cruel animal testing is thus minimized and even eliminated, as AI in a large number of contexts is able to deliver results and high percentages of assertiveness. The connection that can be drawn between Artificial Intelligence and the sustainable environment is that AI makes it possible to produce energy from renewable energy sources. In addition, the advanced algorithms that these intelligences make possible can determine and forecast certain meteorological phenomena allowing their exploitation. And using the sun or wind as energy. In the field of sustainability, AI applications will make it possible to monitor the health of the entire globe. These technologies make it possible to study the effects of climate change that concern us so much. As well as the conditions of tectonic plates, ocean waters, natural resources, biodiversity. With this in mind, Artificial Intelligence moves forward and becomes a preferred tool to support the implementation of the 2015 Paris agreement in the EU concerning climate change. AI can be wisely used to limit climate change and thus help ecosystems to endure. Last but not least, Artificial Intelligence will enable more accurate management of any emergency situation, thanks to the execution of highly accurate dynamic simulations of the Earth's natural systems, such as oceans, coasts and the Earth's crust. This implies an improvement of predictive models that allow the anticipation - and consequently the implementation of evacuation plans - of natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes and floods.

Although many do not know, voice transmission relies on the same process that transmits data in most enterprises. IP connection networks have been the evolutionary result of connections through massive connections, and are now responsible for the telephony transmission of voice in most companies. Currently, a large number of international companies offer the option of Internet telephony. Such telephony faces security risks at the time of voice transmission, especially companies or people of some level of public interest, become targets of telephone interceptions, but work is being done in ways to provide greater security in this type of communication. What are the vulnerabilities in voice-over-IP transmission? Just like any type of transmission, voice emits data that can be exploited by hackers lurking on the web. VPNs must necessarily be encrypted from one end to the other, so that what is spoken from one point to another cannot be overheard. This is of vital importance since eavesdropping on conversations to obtain sensitive information in companies and institutions is a practice that is carried out repeatedly. Many do not know the difference between public and private networks, and these represent a risk if in the transmission of voice, as there may be an interception when leaving the public network. This breach represents a computer access point to the corporate or institutional network, so that not only the voice transmission is at risk, but also all the data within the system. Tips for secure transmission within a company - Limit access to calls by means of security strategies. Access with passwords and user identification will require verification before use. It is also helpful to configure calls by assigning them to specific areas and times. This means that not everyone in a company can access the telephone networks of all areas, but only those that depend on their activities. - Use multilevel encryption. This system allows voice transmission to have several layers of security. By encrypting media, signaling and segments, the provider must offer increased security. - Use firewall. This is useful to prevent hackers from hacking, it allows to track strange behaviors within the voice transmission. - Hire security companies. Security companies can provide you with the security service that suits your needs. Servers do not always provide all the right arrangements for the care of the transmission, so it is important to look for and make clear what the security company offers. Providing security to users On the other side, there are customers who use voice transmission services; companies dedicated to data and voice traffic, including voice, must provide security. It is therefore recommended that voicemail messages be deleted after they have been listened to, and that passwords be applied to limit listening access. Monitoring and reporting any alterations that may occur in a voice message are part of the security measures to be taken so that users have a better experience. For customers, it is also possible to offer the separation of voice transmission through VLANs that are compatible with the switches, and thus generate independence between data and voice traffic, safeguarding voice with greater security.

With the entry into conflict between Russia and Ukraine, many are wondering what has evolved in the communication management of world conflicts. And what role does the Internet play within the tense scenarios generated in each particular situation? In the past, news traveled the world in a couple of days. Now, however, it is transmitted from the Internet the minute by minute of this and all the conflicts that are generated. In addition, the Internet has become one of the new scenarios where the wars of attack and counterattack unfold. Since hackers have seen the opportunity to develop all kinds of small or massive attacks against the same target. El internet como medio de comunicación Si bien se conoce que las guerras han podido ser transmitidas antes por televisión –caso de la guerra del golfo (1990-1991, retransmitida en vivo por el canal CNN, o la guerra de Irak (2003)- el internet como medio masivo de comunicación, ha jugado un nuevo rol dentro del papel de comunicar, ya no de forma unidireccional. Y es que, en la red los conflictos mundiales no se ven como noticias y ya, sino que se ven como escenarios posibles, donde cada persona en el mundo puede involucrarse, opinar y reflexionar sobre los hechos. La red ha hecho que todo suceda con inmediatez y se comunique desde diferentes vías, y no solo como un aparato que envía la información hacía un receptor. The Internet as a means of communication While it is known that wars have been broadcast on television before - as in the case of the Gulf War (1990-1991, broadcast live on CNN, or the Iraq war (2003) - the Internet as a mass media has played a new role in the role of communication, no longer in a unidirectional way. On the net, world conflicts are no longer seen as news and that's it, but as possible scenarios, where every person in the world can get involved, give their opinion and reflect on the facts. The network has made everything happen with immediacy and is communicated in different ways, and not only as a device that sends information to a receiver. The network as a stage for world conflicts In the global conflicts that have occurred in the last 15 years, the Internet has become known as a new battlefield. And is that governments or groups linked to the facts constantly record attacks on the most important virtual platforms they have, is a constant attack and defense of digital fronts. Hackers from all positions involved are doing their thing on the network level. And this scenario is not accidental, but causal. Many investigations link the daily lives of millions of people to the world of the network and is that banking information and all kinds of information is recorded within the networks of each country, making citizens have a certain dependence on the operation of the platforms in charge. When it comes to sabotage against governments, hackers have implemented large DDoS attacks that manage to destabilize pages of public ministries, national banks or even manage to alter the energy networks or supply of public services. Governments even create their own army of hackers to counterattack and prevent possible breaches or espionage of their national platforms. Social networks as part of the landscape As we enter the Internet, we find a proliferation of social networks, and in them we also experience the new global conflicts. In the networks, the amount of information on each topic is massified, but often the quality of such information is not so truthful. Social networks handle a kind of duality in the face of world conflicts. On the one hand, people who are living through the events can and do share information, images and experiences in real time, just as public institutions and organizations ensure truth and transparency in the facts. And on the other hand, they are also used to infuse disinformation campaigns or fakenews. This is mainly used as a strategy to delegitimize some kind of important event, or to distort the real information of what is happening. In both cases, networks will continue to be part of current and future world conflicts. They are part of the daily life of society in general.

A2P application to person SMS are the messages with which large companies are gaining space within the world's cell phones. Through this type of messaging, it is possible to successfully carry out various campaigns, whether promotional, reminder or informative. As the use of A2P SMS is increasing, it is best to know how to get the most out of this type of messages. 1. A growing system. Use it! It is already well known that common SMS have had a decline in the international market. A2P SMS, however, is one of the forms of communication that has attracted the most customers in the last five years. Although it is a generally one-way type of communication, its importance has become relevant for day-to-day operations, providing protection and security in digital life. This form of message is generated through some software or platform that is in charge of processing the information with agility, being able to have a great reach. Therefore, it is important that business camps, public administration and companies that want to stimulate their marketing, make common use of A2P SMS. The use of A2P messaging is becoming easier and easier to implement. More and more api and websites are being developed to provide A2P messaging solutions. 2. Choose a reliable and expert A2P SMS company As the use of A2P SMS has been increasing, so has the market and the companies offering the service. However, not all of them have the logistical capacity and efficiency to handle A2P SMS. Our company LD TELECOM offers complete packages with market research for cost savings, communication channels that allow two-person interaction, as well as confirmation of reading and monitoring of campaigns through statistics, but this is not done by all companies. Often lower prices are offered for the service without taking into account the quality of the software being provided. Likewise, sometimes solutions are sold only for national traffic and the international scope is left unattended. To cover a good execution of A2P SMS, it is important to have a reliable company. Companies that are in constant renovation, since A2P SMS are in constant development, and new functions are added in an extraordinary way according to the servers used.. 3. Understand how each type of message works to choose the right one Within A2P SMS, not all messages are executed in the same way. Since, according to the customer's need, each type of message will be provided.. There are 3 different types of messages: - Marketing communication: these are generally messages that communicate company promotions and discounts. - Over the top (OTT): this message is generated quickly and automatically, after the customer has performed some kind of operation. Whether it is a password change, a mobile recharge, among others. - One time password (OTP): as the name suggests, this message becomes a unique code. It is generally used to provide step-by-step verification when making transactions or confirming operations. 4. Regular renewal and innovation Artificial intelligence has been a determining factor in the development of this type of communication, focused on immediate customer service and response. And people as subjects capable of massively joining the reception of information, whether they are private or public marketing campaigns, the potential is increasing. Keeping this in mind, guarantees a correct updating of the channels. This allows us to be at the forefront of the A2P SMS market.

Day after day more and more homes are gaining access to a stable internet connection. Many of these have started to use home automation as a solution to the daily functioning of the home. But what is home automation and how does it work, what are these applications used for in the home, is it that futuristic movies were right and we can control everything with a simple click? What is home automation and how does it work? Domotics is a compilation of digital applications that allow automating all the operation of objects and spaces within a residence or workspace. The main objective of this is that convenience and comfort become part of everyone's life, with the use of technology at all levels of life. Home automation works with a known ally, the Smartphone. And it is through this that it is possible to achieve complete automation of small household tasks, such as watering the garden, or turning off the lights when no one is present in a room. The development of new technologies around the home has made home automation to be present in more and more homes. As part of the premise of smart cities, this becomes a very useful tool for the care of energy, as well as to make fun and relaxation easier and easier. Everything at home can have a signal Although it sounds crazy or futuristic series, all objects that are inside a house, building or company, can have internet connection. Or at least this is part of what is proposed in the development plan of home automation, that everybody becomes automated digital function, which can be controlled through electronic devices. In the case of homes, more and more things are connected to a wifi signal: freezers, blinds, TVs, lights, heaters, closets. They are part of a list that continues to grow to make home automation an indispensable companion. The transformation of community life is also a fact. Through the automation of common areas, home automation becomes a way to facilitate coexistence. Tasks such as watering gardens, turning lights on and off, cleaning showcases or large windows can all be programmed and linked to a management system via Smartphone. The operation and control of gates and security systems are also part of the transformation proposed by home automation. In the common areas of buildings, there are neuralgic points such as receptions where by implementing home automation as a tool, improvements are achieved in the reception of packages, and distribution of receipts or letters, without the need for the resident to be present at the time of reception. Under construction Although many are the advances in the field of this technology, there are still many paths to discover. Since the home automation sector is a relatively recent field, it is allowing more and more professionals interested in design and technology to become more and more interested in perfecting and creating new mechanisms to serve the automation of things. Until now, households have been able to welcome all the proposals that home automation offers them. Feeding pets, controlling music or lights by voice, monitoring homes in general, have made a good impression. Although many questions are created around, which for now have not been answered, can hackers infiltrate a home, which companies can use this data for their own benefits? These are issues that are still on the list of possible concerns, when implementing home automation. And they will be answered over time.

Recent studies have shown that the relationship between daily life and the use of technology, as we knew it before the pandemic, will never be the same again. Consultancies such as trendsity in charge of measuring the impact of the pandemic in areas such as digitalization and the implementation of smart cities show a new post-pandemic panorama. Where factors such as coworking, home automation and bioarchitecture will take the lead in the creation and planning of smart cities. An invitation to greener development After the long quarantine times, a change in the chip of the people was implemented in how the city exchanges with the natural. Smart cities present proposals where priority is given to energy care and connection of citizens with the green environment. Through the use of technology, it is intended to create spaces such as parks and more natural places within cities. In addition, through bioarchitecture and other advanced models, home gardens occupy a greater place in daily life, achieving the implementation of urban or community crops. Trendsity's CEO explained that what is sought by implementing smart cities is a positive impact in favor of spaces where development, sustainability, urban design, and common welfare become the context of all households. The purpose of this proposal is not to leave cities without humans, but rather that humans are the ones who know how to take advantage of and enjoy what smart cities can offer them. Smart cities as part of your household In the staging of all within our homes, the dynamics and relationship with the physical space changed. This is why smart cities enter our homes with proposals such as home automation that facilitate life both inside and outside the home. These systems, which seek to be implemented for actions such as appliance control or security monitoring, have gained strength once it was necessary to return, little by little, to life in the presence of people. Mobility is another sector where smart cities have contributed to better functioning. And with the return to face-to-face life, the experience becomes more pleasant, once the means of public transport can provide information on departure and arrival times, travel time, and any delays or emergencies in real-time, at the fingertips of all users. Likewise, designs for the use of means of transport such as bicycles, which allow individual mobility, had to be improved in order to create what some call the "15-minute city". Working at home, living at work Once we were all inside our homes, the line between separating workspace and home was physically broken. Now, by not having to commute to work on a daily basis, coworking spaces are intended to be created with all the amenities that smart cities are proposing. These spaces are intended to meet the needs of efficient and quality digital needs, so that people have available around the house a place that separates them from what is home to live, and the office to work. The establishment of bimodal work models is a post-pandemic reality, and developing improvements in both work tools and the living environment are part of the challenges taken on by the creation of smart cities. It is also clear that these places will be designed in a nature-friendly manner, creating emotional well-being for the people who will occupy them.

May 17th was declared Telecommunications and Information Society Day by the ITU, the International Telecommunication Union. This has been celebrated every year on May 17 for 53 years. The main purpose of this celebration is to commemorate the creation of the ITU and also to commemorate the signing of the first Telegraph Convention that took place in 1865. 2022 Celebration Theme Each year the theme of the celebration is different. This year the main theme of the celebration is "Accelerating Digital Transformation in Challenging Times and Changing Demographics". And this theme is linked to what we have been suffering these last two years: -The pandemic. For this reason, the theme of this new celebration that takes place today May 19, 2022 was decided in consequence of the global pandemic that affected the entire world's population. COVID-19 demonstrated how important information and communication technologies are in people's daily lives. Therefore, the role of computing and telecommunication in both a work and non-work context and in relation to other individuals was taken into account. It has been concluded that it is of major importance to continue developing the telecommunications sector in order to promote a transformation in the digital area. Giving rise to telecommunications as a very important aspect in today's societies. The aim of the celebration of the Telecommunications and Information Society Day is to raise awareness of the different possibilities that the use of the Internet and other information and communication technologies can bring to economies and societies. It is also important to take into account the possibility of reducing the digital divide between them. From LDNetworks and together with LDTelecom we support and promote innovative ideas to collaborate with the development of new technologies without leaving aside the traditional processes necessary for the implementation of a system that is functional, innovative and at the same time useful. Thanks to the solutions that we present from our companies, both people who use telecommunications individually and companies have access to connections, making the world a smaller and more widely communicated place. We help build smart cities. We proudly know that millions of caregivers around the world feel connected and part of tomorrow´s society. Smart cities help provide their citizens with greater health, connectivity and independence. Digital tools and innovative technologies can improve the quality of life for citizens of all ages. Let's celebrate telecommunication

To travel with a means of transportation that takes you from one place to another you would probably need a physical structure, bridges, tunnels, and roads in the right directions would be part of these necessary elements. When we refer to the role of a telecommunications infrastructure it is possible to mention that it is the physical medium in which the online exchange of information takes place. The telecommunications infrastructure can be composed of cables, satellites, telephone wires, submarine cables, and mobile technology, it can also be incorporated into wireless networks, with means of connection in the form of drones and internet balloons. In this sense, a device communicates by means of data packets that are routed through the entire physical network until they reach the destination server. Nowadays it is quite important to have dynamic communication on a reliable basis, for this purpose it is necessary to have a secure telecommunications infrastructure. Based on this assumption, communication between people locally or between countries can allow a better connection experience. Telecommunications infrastructure can connect people in different cities, countries and continents. Technological innovation in the field of telecommunications is also quite dynamic; changes in the technology with which physical media operate can occur continuously and progressively. Fixed network or fixed line When someone or something refers to a fixed network or fixed line, they are referring to the wired networks used in the telecommunications infrastructure. This is normally a connection that is linked by a wiring system, and based on this, allows users of the service to connect to the Internet, or simply make phone calls. The cables that make up the system can be made of copper, and with some novelty, optical fiber is used for the connections of this physical network structure. It is important to take into account that while there is greater assimilation of technological advances in the field of telecommunications, fixed networks do not have a leading role, but remain an important part of the system of physical links that make possible the connections between users. Physical links in wireless connection systems As is well known, the wireless network system does not use the wired system. Basically, the dynamic that occurs in a wireless network consists of sending and receiving information by means of electromagnetic frequencies. Although this type of telecommunication allows users to communicate by means of their electronic devices, it requires a telecommunications infrastructure for its operation. The physical infrastructure may consist of antenna arrays, telecommunication towers, telecommunication masts and power facilities. In communications by means of light pulses Through fiber-optic networks, information can be transmitted by means of the use of some light pulses of previous codification, the codified information is transmitted by means of light signals making use of its physical component or the optical fiber. This way of transmitting information allows the dynamics of telecommunication to be light and secure.

One of the objectives that a company that carries out its activities online should seek is to have a good internet connection. This is a determining factor for its success in the market. A good Internet connection allows the company to work more efficiently with customers and suppliers outside its borders, increase its productivity and reduce operating costs. Internet connection and the optimization of activities The optimal functioning of a company's activities depends on factors that are decisive, such as electrical energy, telephone connection, mobile phone communication, and Internet connection. The company can choose its Internet connection, both wired, and wireless. Depending on what best suits its needs based on the various types of connections offered by the companies on the market. It can be said that a company can optimize the dynamics of its activities based on the choice of the type of Internet connection service it contracts. In this sense, the question that can arise in the management of the company in this aspect is the type of connection the company needs. This is easy to identify by analyzing the objectives being pursued and studying the effects of the type of connection contracted. How choosing a good connection benefits your business By choosing a good Internet connection you can generate multiple benefits in different aspects, such as productivity levels, lower operating costs and connection reliability. Increased productivity The capacity of a company to generate benefits can be related to the capacity and speed of the internet connection it contracts. The importance in this sense of having a good, reliable and fast internet connection is that the personnel will be able to perform online tasks with greater efficiency, aiming at the maximum potential in the performance of the activities to be reflected in the online work, without loss of time in terms of upload speeds and better positioned to compete. Lower costs Contrary to what you might think, hiring a high-speed Internet connection in the long term can reduce operating costs, at first, it may represent financial pressure for the business, but based on the benefits it generates in productivity it can compensate for many things. Having a poor online connection can increase the risk of greater losses in online commerce. Higher levels of connection reliability By hiring a good internet connection you can count on constant connectivity without unexpected outages. The levels of reliability and the type of internet connection that is contracted are related and are determinant in the management of the company's activities. The probability that the system as a whole will perform the activities for a given period of time based on established operating conditions can increase when a good internet connection is contracted. By aligning the Internet services that are contracted with what you are looking for, you can keep operations running at more optimal levels and reduce pressures that can generate unexpected failures.

Fiber optics is used to send information through pulses of light. This is accomplished by plastic or glass fiber in the form of strands. Fiber optics allow this to be possible over both long and short distances. Fiber optic cables are as thin as human hair, but one is not enough. Like a hair, a combination of fiber optic cables is needed to generate the transmission. This type of transmission is through light that is guided from one side to the other and offers minimal loss at an astonishing speed. So, just as with a single hair it is not possible to make a hairstyle, to make this data transmission work requires a set of fiber optic cables. The greater the number, the greater the capacity in terms of transmission time, the amount of data transmitted, and the total distance traveled. A fiber optic cable is made up of hundreds of strands inside a plastic sheath. What is transmitted by this type of connection? So you may be wondering what data is transmitted by fiber optics. Thanks to fiber installations, telephony, internet and cable TV services are offered to both homes and businesses. Benefits of fiber optics Fiber optics offer many benefits, among them, we can mention the following: - Faster data transmission - Minimal losses - Data transfer over long distances - Magnetic interference is not a problem for fiber optics. - It offers greater safety for personnel handling it since it does not transmit electricity. - Extremely fast downloads and uploads - Weather conditions do not affect data transmission over fiber optics. What are we talking about when a fiber optic network is mentioned? While there are different options when it comes to fiber-optic connection, they all involve fiber optic cables. They go a long way from the hub to the entrance closest to the home's entry point. And in many cases, they also enter the home directly. These networks can be either FTTH or FTTP. The former is the fiber optic connection that extends to the home and the latter to the premises. Read more about different connectivity options But there are also hybrid connections such as FTTC and it is the connection that reaches the door of the house by optical fiber and from there with copper to the inside of the houses, the same with the FTTB connection that is also very similar to the above mentioned but for buildings. The benefits of fiber optics are really outstanding since there is no one who can improve so far the benefits offered by this type of connection. Even hybrid connections are better than those without any type of fiber optic rag.

For some time now, online stores and websites as well as operators of commercial portals have been exposed to attacks. Time and again, the media report millions of data records captured as a result of an unexpected attack. In addition, massive damage to the various operators is also reported. This results in a massive loss of customer confidence. Their personal data is put at risk after a successful attack by cybercriminals. Even when the attackers have managed to leak for a few minutes they can steal a large amount of customer data. There are a large number of possibilities for attackers. But as long as companies are well protected, they can remain unnoticed and not be easy bait for criminals. In recent years, a completely new type of attack has become established in addition to conventional hacker attacks. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks bring infrastructures to a complete standstill through deliberate overloading. Loss of revenue, traffic costs, and business downtime are the consequences. Attacks usually occur in waves: as soon as you are back online, a new attack begins. And large companies are almost always online, if not 24 hours a day, most of the day. With the security concept offered by LDTelecom, the merchant's website will be able to offer itself as a really secure site. And as a merchant, you can rest assured that your data and that of your customer base will not be stolen. We simply manage to detect and stop attacks. You can also review the summary of both good and bad traffic and as if that were not enough. The most important thing to note is that DDDoS Shield works in all companies and all over the world. Why choose DDoS protection? Many companies decide to minimize costs and do not believe it is crucial to incorporate DDoS protection. While it sounds tempting to forego effective protection to save costs and effort, a targeted attack can quickly threaten the existence of your entire company. The effects of restricted availability in online stores or service portals are obvious: the range certainly extends from annoyed customers and lost sales to the strengthening of your own competition. It is advisable to perform an individual analysis of the threat situation and the protection needs of a company and to implement an appropriate security concept from the areas of firewall, application firewall, intrusion prevention and DDoS protection. The specific need for protection depends on the likelihood of an attack and the amount of damage to be expected. DDoS attacks, for example, can be ordered on the Darknet for as little as a few hundred dollars. Sometimes companies also use this opportunity to secure an advantage over their competitors. In general, it should always be kept in mind that the number of attacks increased a lot in the last two years and continues to increase. So being prepared for such attacks is more than necessary. It is obvious what consequences an attack can have on your company and why it is mandatory to have the right defenses in place: The website or store is offline Customers can no longer access services or place orders. Files and applications in the cloud can no longer be accessed, workflow collapses. The mail server is down and email communication is not possible. Important information is not transmitted. IP phones refuse to work and your company can no longer be reached from the outside. Having highlighted the essential reasons to be well protected we hope you will become aware and choose what is best for your company and your customers.
