In today's world, companies seek to boost and enhance the data connectivity of their organizations, to obtain a better flow of communication with customers and consumers. Today, without Data Connectivity, it would be impossible for business organizations to collect, process, analyze and even share all the information generated by the entire company. That is why it is of utmost importance for companies to prioritize their Data Connectivity processes, generated by their internal and external networks in order to obtain a better flow of strategic information for decision making. In this article our intention is to develop this topic to contribute to its dissemination, seeking to make companies aware of the priority of developing their information processes and thus improve their productivity. 1. What is Data Connectivity? Data Connectivity consists of linking the company with its customers and suppliers through servers, in order to meet information requirements and share it securely, reliably and efficiently. These servers are linked to other devices which are connected to each other, either through cable or wireless. Data connectivity for a company is of paramount importance, as it encompasses important administrative processes such as invoices, payments and contracts with suppliers. For companies it is of utmost importance to have a secure data connection that allows the transmission of information and constant and fluid communication. When we talk about Data Connectivity linked to the connection of companies through a network, we are pointing out the various connections by different devices that are linked to virtual local area networks known as VLAN. 2. Advantages of Data Connectivity - Increased information analysis capacity: allows companies to collect, process and analyze all the information related to their production and administrative processes, as well as the flow of information between their suppliers and customers. - Data Connectivity: allows companies to use tools such as reporting, which is used by business organizations to develop new management strategies during the decision-making process, by classifying data in areas such as purchasing and sales. Through reporting, companies, suppliers and customers share unique, reliable and accurate information that is relevant to their business processes. - Increased productivity: through Data Connectivity, the company is able to manage more efficiently the strategic business processes. It also allows professionals such as Data Management to store strategic information for the company in a secure and reliable way. Indispensable tools for Data Connectivity Among the tools most commonly used by companies to streamline their information processes, we can mention the following: BIG DATA When we talk about Big Data we refer to that set of data or composition of data, which due to its dimension, proportion and speed, are cumbersome for companies to collect, process and analyze through traditional means such as: databases, statistical bases or representation tool in a period of time useful for companies. Big Data allows companies to collect, measure and analyze large volumes of data qualitatively and quantitatively to streamline decision-making processes. In addition, the information already collected and analyzed can be stored in Cloud Data in a secure and reliable way, this tool allows business organizations to reduce the use of paper and folders to store such information in traditional filing systems. Database Databases: can be defined as that structure of data, which have the mission to organize the information to facilitate its access, detection and management. Through this tool all users will be able to find any type of information by using a keyword. It should also be noted that the database is located in what is known as a Data Server. On the other hand we must point out that there are several types of data servers, among the most used we can point out: Web servers: they fulfill the function of transferring web pages. Database servers: they speed up the database query processes. Free Transfer Protocol (FTP): allows users to manage files. Application Programming Interface (API) The Application Programming Interface (API) is a digital instrument that allows different software to exchange information with each other. This makes it easier for various systems to distribute strategic information of the company in real time. Programming as a Data Connectivity tool. Programming is related to the functionality of the application, because it allows to visualize in detail how the application processes data input and output. An example of this can be found in a supplier management application, because through it, companies can distribute product catalogs and make price quotations, among others. On the other hand, by linking the API tool with the application and programming, companies will be able to collect and process the requirements of customers and suppliers through servers for information management.

You've probably heard the word telecommunication, even if you're not quite sure what it means. You may have understood that it's important, but you may not know what it's for. Let's understand how telecommunications work. Before we start, it is important to highlight that you already knew about them and they have been changing your life for years. Define telecommunicationes A telecommunications network is the set of all the systems necessary for the exchange of information between users connected to the network. We mainly describe them as telecommunications when they are instantaneous, have the power to connect users over long distances. We talk about telecommunications when we mention techniques or services that use technological advances to exchange large amounts of information through internet connections. Nowadays, the facilities that make it possible to take advantage of Internet communications are part of the basic infrastructure. Any town, institution or home has some type of telecommunications connection or service. This is because nowadays much of our social, economic, political and cultural interaction is strongly associated with being able to communicate over long distances with complex information. Connection and telecommunications Today these are the keywords of the digital world. Millions of businesses are closed or lost because of the speed of their connection. An entire ecosystem of services is offered by both Internet providers and internet-based and internet-dependent services. Political or ideological movements are transmitted around the world thanks to internet images. Nowadays, telecommunications reign among the technologies we use. Whether to talk on a landline or cell phone, to watch television or videos on the Internet, or to check memes on social networks. No one escapes the constant presence of some form of physical or wireless communication. Some History Telecommunications facilities that are available today, are different from the telegraph and telephone systems that were invented in the 19th century. The invention of radio in the late 19th century allowed greater distance and frequency for communications. Later, wireless telegraphy (also called radiotelegraphy) was developed in the early 20th century to allow messages to be sent and received by radio. These two techniques led to a more accessible communication platform. In addition, the development of the telephone in the 1890s allowed people around the world to talk to each other, changing the dynamics by which the world interacted. LDTeleCom Function A telecommunications system consists of three main parts: transmitter, receiver and communication medium. The transmitter is where the information is generated or formulated before being sent through electromagnetic waves. The receiver receives the information after it has been transmitted through the use of an antenna or an electronic device that can pick up electromagnetic waves. The media transmits the information between the transmitter and the receiver; it can be used to transmit voice, data or video information. We are providers and intermediaries that make sure that the best services reach where they are most needed. We seek to maintain contact with the main companies that provide internet and telephony services, and we form alliances. It is through these alliances that we are able to provide small and medium sized companies with key services for their development. Thanks to our vision, today we reach more than 200 countries using a network of more than 100 affiliated companies. We currently operate points of presence (POPs) in the United States, Venezuela, Peru, Brazil and Spain, where we support the best IP gateways.

In different and varied work environments, adaptations to the smart world are seen every day. The benefits are varied. It means greater efficiency in the energy used and on the other hand, workspaces become personalized. And this second mentioned is the one that has become commonplace in recent times. In different countries, regulations are gradually changing and adapting to the technological future with a more eco-friendly approach. The strategic focus is on sovereignty, interoperability and sustainability. An essential requirement to successfully implement this adaptation is to go digital. More and more school-educational institutions as well as companies around the world are choosing digital development that takes into account the needs of inserting themselves into the world of computing and artificial intelligence. That said, numerous companies around the world are looking to the future with expectations of modifying existing physical structures to include the necessary digital technologies to promote collaboration among peers and increase efficiency while positively influencing the attitude of workers and students. What is a Smart Space? Smart Space is an intelligent space. Better known as a room in which the application of these necessary technologies is taken into account. So it is no longer something that companies see as something they would like to have, but they see themselves in project of how it is possible to apply the use of technology as part of a company. This gives a look into the future as a guarantee of functionality of the company or educational institute. To be one step ahead and move away from what could soon become obsolete. In this it is good to mention the Internet of Things that would take on a very important role. What is the role of the Internet of Things? The Internet of Things becomes a very important driver for this model. Since it is the driver of the aforementioned Smart Spaces. In this environment the focus is on the individual and offers an intuitive and totally new experience. Then the Internet of Things takes on the role of assisting with the needs of the users. The needs are those related to cooling, heating and lighting for example. And this over time generates a database that makes the system a more predictive one that adapts to each particular user. And thanks to this, if a company's staff is transferred to another office, a pleasant environment can be automatically generated according to the previously stored information. And this makes the individual feel at home - or at least like in their old office - a cozzy space. Taking this into consideration some may feel invaded or that they have lost privacy, but it is actually a great advancement of technology and can be very pleasant if we let it positively support the changes in our lives.

During the pandemic, many new challenges have arisen for all types of industry. Among them, the cloud has had to adapt its regulations to this installed normality that is here to stay. Even after the pandemic was over, we could say that many of the changes that we had to forcefully adapt to have become established as the standard. But in the case of many manufacturing companies it was necessary to reduce the percentage of production due to the drop in demand for certain products. In the midst of this so-called crisis, digitalization and automation have become more important for companies, and these technologies are still on the rise today. They are even becoming more important as companies plan their new digital strategies. What have companies done to regain control between the digital and physical world? Companies require resilient networks, digitally connected employees and smart, interconnected products to realign production, reduce costs and bring new offerings to market faster. That's why internet connectivity needs to be reliable, so that companies have connectivity for as long as possible. As many physical businesses have gone percent or even 100 percent digital, internet connectivity is indispensable for these companies to continue working. Cloud computing has become ubiquitous. Companies consider it synonymous with reliability, resilience and security. But let's start at the beginning: our global economy has been characterized by decentralized supply chains to achieve the lowest production costs. So people tried to set up production centers in places where raw materials or labor, or both, were plentiful, which increased logistics costs but significantly reduced local costs. What was the biggest obstacle that had to be faced in the pandemic? At the onset of the pandemic, many businesses were forced to close. Only those that already had a digital store option were left operating. However, those companies that were able to quickly transfer their format to a digital structure also joined the race. So the first obstacle between the digital and the physical world was the transition from one to the other. But those who managed to maintain a structure were able to survive despite the obstacles. Today, in the global era, more than ever, the economy needs to take advantage of the technologies offered by companies related to the digital industry. This is also why engineering organizations are effectively in the midst of a constant paradigm shift. What aspects should be taken into account to be prepared as a company for any time of uncertainty? If you work from a physical business, it is necessary to think about how to adapt and develop the option of digital products and services. Above all, in this race against technology what wins is adaptability to take advantage of global market opportunities. In addition, it is recommended to have procedures and organization that can be adaptable: flexibility of engineering resources and frugal engineering approaches. It is very important to be part of the new pro-earth movement. Then have a program of eco-innovations and apply if possible the circular economy. First and foremost what we are trying to do is to move forward regardless of what fate has in store for us. After the COVID-19 pandemic, we do not know what we will have to face.

We have access to fiber optic almost everywhere we go. We are very used to having access to the digital world in a simple way. And almost without realizing it, we have incorporated it as something natural in our lives. So much so that we do not take a moment to think about the great infrastructure that is in place to provide us users with such useful access to the Internet. Yes, it is true that in some places it is still difficult to find signal but the area covered by Internet coverage is becoming wider and wider. Even before, it used to happen that when we went up a mountain or a little further away from the big cities, the connection became unstable or even null, but with time this has been improving making it possible to have fiber optic internet connection almost everywhere. Did you know that spacecraft, even when they are more than 400 kilometers high and traveling at high speeds, have a connection? Even in some remote places in the ocean, they are able to pick up signals. This is thanks to the great expansion of fiber optic connections. Fiber optics makes it all possible How is this possible? Due to the important developments in technology and in combination with fiber optics almost anything is possible. As a company from LDTelecom, we create strategic plans so that in this way both companies in remote areas and populations in high or isolated places, can also have the benefit of Internet connection. Because today the Internet is, beyond entertainment, a connection with the family, an approach with friends, a source of education and also fulfills many other roles that are indispensable for our daily lives. Technology continues to expand As well as everyday personal use, companies and governments see the need to extend terrestrial Internet connection networks via fiber optics into space. This will facilitate communication between satellites in space and the companies that govern them on the ground. Thanks to advances in telecommunication technology, the connection between satellites and ground networks will be of high quality, offering better connection quality over a wider territory than at present. This brings only benefits for the users, who will see the field of use of the networks expanded. What is also provided is uninterrupted, higher quality and continuous communication. Connecting the future Internet connectivity in space is a vision of the future. Although it is similar to the terrestrial connection, it is not the same mechanism. In this case, the communication is done via laser and the frequencies are divided. So, for a circuit of high complexity and utility, the fiber optic network is actually a hybrid connection, which brings the benefit of offering higher quality connectivity to the ground and to space. The result of this hybrid connection is an improvement within the optical matrix, which consequently increases the capacity of the main network. And the broadband becomes a broadband of superior characteristics to the current ones.

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
