挑战
NVIDIA 是加速计算领域的先驱，建造了一座占地 750,000 平方英尺的巨型建筑，名为 Voyager。为了配合架构创新，NVIDIA 希望拥有一个同样令人印象深刻的专用 5G 网络来支持多接入边缘计算 (MEC) 应用程序并利用未经许可的公民宽带无线电服务 (CBRS) 频段。第一个 MEC 应用需要在大堂区域使用 5G 摄像头进行智能视频分析。网络开发面临的挑战是 CBRS 频谱内的 150 MHz 限制。为了解决这个问题，NVIDIA 决定使用 100 MHz 最小带宽来维持所需的吞吐量水平，并为所有无线电单元使用相同的频率载波。这使得 5G 网络所需的吞吐量具有挑战性。 NVIDIA 还希望比较两种不同供应商的无线电单元，一种具有定向传输功能，一种具有全向传输功能，每个单元都有 4 个下行链路 (DL) 多输入多输出 (MIMO) 层和 2 个上行链路 (UL) MIMO 层。
关于客户
NVIDIA 成立于 1993 年，一直是加速计算领域的先驱。该公司于 1999 年发明的 GPU 引发了 PC 游戏市场的增长，重新定义了计算机图形学，并点燃了现代人工智能 (AI) 时代。 NVIDIA 现在是一家全栈计算公司，其数据中心规模的产品正在重塑整个行业。 NVIDIA 建造了一座占地 750,000 平方英尺的大型建筑，名为 Voyager，它既指的是《星际迷航》中的 Voyager，也指的是 NVIDIA 中的“v”。大本营接待区位于山脚下，有多层结构，散布着人员、办公室和花园空间。
解决方案
NVIDIA 希望最大限度地提高所需建筑内覆盖区域的吞吐量。然而，确定最佳无线电单元位置和天线方向的传统测试和物理部署成本高昂且耗时。相反，NVIDIA 部署了 Altair 的模拟驱动型网络规划和优化解决方案。 Altair 开发了 Voyager 代理模型，其中包括影响建筑物无线传播的所有方面。在集成系统工作流程中，团队使用 Altair® HyperWorks® 进行几何清理； Altair® Feko® 与 Altair® WinProp™ 模块用于材料分配、无线传播和网络分析； Altair® HyperStudy® 用于优化无线电单元的数量和位置。 Altair 的初步分析使用 WinProp 的主要路径模型（一种用于无线覆盖分析的快速、准确的预测模型）确定了最佳无线电单元位置和方向。在无线电单元处于最佳位置后，Altair 使用 WinProp 的全 3D 射线追踪模型进行了最终分析。

Hydro One Leads the Way In Smart Meter Development
In 2010, Ontario’s energy board mandated that time-of-use (TOU) pricing for consumers be available for all consumers on a regulated price plan. To meet this requirement, Hydro One needed to quickly deploy a smart meter and intelligent communications network solution to meet the provincial government’s requirement at a low cost. The network needed to cover Hydro One’s expansive service territory, which has a land mass twice the size of Texas, and its customers live in a mix of urban, rural, and remote areas, some places only accessible by air, rail, boat or snowmobile. Most importantly, the network needed to enable future enterprise-wide business efficiencies, modernization of distribution infrastructure and enhanced customer service. To meet these needs, Hydro One conceptualized an end-to-end solution leveraging open standards and Internet Protocols (IP) at all communication levels. The utility drew upon industry leaders like Trilliant to realize this vision.

Selling more with Whirlpool
Whirlpool wanted to add connectivity to appliances and transform the company's relationship with customers. Traditionally, Whirlpool interaction with customers was limited to purchases made once every ten years. Connected washer and dryers provide exciting new features like remote management of start times and inter-machine communication.

SAS® Analytics for IoT: Smart Grid
Companies face falling revenues, rising infrastructure costs, and increasing risk of outages caused by inconsistent energy production from renewable sources. Less money is coming in as more people and organizations take steps to curb their energy use. Utilities are paying more to maintain and build infrastructure due to increasing complexity, resulting from the rising number of intermittent and variable renewable energy sources connected in the distribution grid.

Enel Secures Italian Power Generation Network
Electric energy operators around the world are working to increase the reliability and cyber resiliency of their systems. This includes Enel, a global power company that manages and monitors the Italian power grid. This grid:• Serves 31 million customers• Has a net installed energy capacity exceeding 31 gigawatts• Includes more than 500 power generation plants,including hydroelectric, thermoelectric, and wind• Is managed and monitored by Enel 24/7/365• Is operated by Terna, the Italian Transmission System Operator (TSO)Enel is responsible for the availability of the grid’s underlying ICS and industrial network. It also manages Regional Control Centers and Interconnection Centers which connect with the TSO. The TSO manages the flow of energy to the grid plus controls and remotely regulates the power generation of power plants, increasing and decreasing power production as required. The complex system of interaction and cooperation between Enel and the TSO has strong security implications as well as operational and business challenges.

Vodafone Hosted On AWS
Vodafone found that traffic for the applications peak during the four-month period when the international cricket season is at its height in Australia. During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
