Nokia Bell Labs is the world-renowned, Nobel Prize-winning industrial research arm of Nokia. Marianne Strobel, Head of North America Customer Marketing and Communications at Nokia walked host Tyler Kern through Nokia Bell Labs’ 5G Certification Program.

Throughout its 90-year history, Nokia Bell Labs has distinguished itself in the technology communications field through its multiple achievements and awards. In terms of innovation, Bell Labs invented the transistor, the laser, the solar cell, the Unix operating system and the cellular concept for mobile phones.

So, what does Nokia Bell Labs have in store for 5G?

Strobel pointed out that Nokia Bell Lab’s involvement with 5G technology research dates back at least 10 years.

“The certification program Nokia’s developed is to help industry professionals realize the full business potential of end-to-end 5G networks,” Strobel said. “It’s the first of its kind, and this program is the only one out there that offers all professionals across the information and communication technology industry two levels of certification.”

The two levels are an associate-level and a professional-level certification.

The associate-level certification, which is currently available, delivers essential knowledge covering everything from the basics of 5G networking to professional-level planning and development.

Companies and service providers that go through this certification process will gain a better understanding and proficiency in the application of end-to-end 5G technologies.

How Bose Professional's 3.5 kg MA3 aims sound away from echoey ceilings

How Bose Professional's 3.5 kg MA3 aims sound away from echoey ceilings

Bose Professional introduced the MA3 Micro Array, a passive modular micro line array whose 3.5 kg modules can be splayed to keep energy off reflective ceilings. The design work shifts to the integrator: splay angles, amplifier loading/protection and Bose’s recommended 70 Hz high-pass filter are key choices. Bose lists houses of worship, multipurpose rooms, corporate spaces and education/government venues among its targets.

  • 01Each MA3 module covers just 5° vertically, so the angles set between boxes become the main control for keeping sound off reflective ceilings in reverberant rooms.
  • 02For a head-to-head spec review, ask for high-frequency vertical off-axis data: the MA3 and Martin Audio O-Line share 100° × 5° nominal coverage but use very different tweeter designs.

NTT DATA’s MRaaS spans design, support and recycling across the room lifecycle

NTT DATA’s MRaaS spans design, support and recycling across the room lifecycle

NTT DATA's Meeting Room as a Service brings room design, procurement, monitoring, support, refresh and recycling together under one model. Its Aon project in Brazil tripled videoconferencing capacity and lifted client meetings 50% over two years.

  • 01When a room fails, people tend to move rather than report it, so service desk tickets often miss the rooms that are actually broken. Centralized monitoring targets that gap.
  • 02Aon’s Brazil project tripled videoconferencing capacity and raised client meetings 50% over two years. It’s a vendor-reported reference point buyers can use when asking providers for comparable results.
  • 03The case for one lifecycle contract is strongest where each country picked its own vendors and integrators. A company that only needs utilization data can buy room analytics software without handing over the whole lifecycle.

AVIXA hands the CEO job to Informa tech events chief Marco Pardi

AVIXA hands the CEO job to Informa tech events chief Marco Pardi

AVIXA named Marco Pardi, President of the Tech Events portfolio at Informa, as CEO starting January 1, 2027. He succeeds David Labuskes. Pardi's background running IT shows suggests AV's overlap with IT will keep getting attention, though AVIXA has not committed to that. Watch AVIXA's 2027 show calendar and course catalog.

  • 01AVIXA's events and learning audiences overlap with incoming CEO Marco Pardi's experience; audience counts alone do not explain the board's priorities.
  • 02One read on the hire is whether IT-crossover training like Glass to Glass expands under Pardi.
