A number of American technology companies such as Microsoft, Dell and AT&T have joined an effort sponsored by the White House to create advanced software for 5G networks in order to reduce the dependence on Chinese telecommunications equipment vendor Huawei Technology.

Amazon Web Services has announced a new feature in Amazon Polly from its team of AI research scientists and linguists called Brand Voice, an “exclusive, high-quality, Neural Text-to-Speech (NTTS) voice” built to represent a brand’s persona. Mobile industry body GSMA has expanded the precautions to limit the potential spread of coronavirus at the huge MWC Barcelona event taking place later this month. New Zealand energy and telecoms giant Trustpower has deployed global security vendor Nozomi Networks’ guardian solution as it continues investment in enhancing its security systems. The Australian Computer Society, the industry association for Australia’s computer professionals, is in disarray. The organisation is without a President, there are calls for the CEO’s resignation, and serious doubts have emerged over the organisation’s finances and its capacity to properly represent the profession.
