How Data Centers Must Evolve to Enable 5G and Deliver the IoT
R. Stephen Spinazzola, PEShumate Engineering, PLLC 5G promises the transfer of mass data at unprecedented speeds, enabling innovation that’s only been imagined so far to be seen. Visions of the IoT connecting machines and their learnings through everyday AI are still elusive because the 5G ecosystem is not fully realized, but it’s coming. The big […]
Adiabatic Cooling for Data Centers
R. Stephen Spinazzola, PE, LEED APShumate Engineering, PLLC Adiabatic cooling, the reduction in temperature when air pressure is lowered, is well known to all, and is witnessed in nature. For instance, stand near a waterfall on a hot day and experience a refreshing drop in temperature- that’s adiabatic cooling. A warm air mass ascending a […]
Electromagnetic Pulse and its Impact on the Design of Mission Critical Facilities
R. Stephen Spinazzola, PE, LEED APShumate Engineering, PLLC Our understanding of electromagnetic pulse energy in its many forms and permutations has been around since we have studied and understood lightning. The energy emitted is more than the electric charge, and there is an accompanying magnetic pulse that can cause damage as well. “An electromagnetic pulse […]
Wi-Fi 6 and 5G and their Impact on Mission Critical Facilities
R. Stephen Spinazzola, PE, LEED APShumate Engineering, PLLC With the recognized advantages of 5G as will be discussed, and the increased speed of Wi-Fi-6, a convergence of technologies offers data center designers, owners, and operators a new high speed super-highway, with a lot less copper and fiber. 5G and Wi-Fi-6 technologies are providing individual opportunities […]
