Apple macOS Catalina

Pcmag | June 24, 2019

MacOS Catalina, now in public beta, will be a major update, making it easy for iOS developers to port their apps to the Mac, and for iPad owners to use their tablets as a second screen. It won't support 32-bit apps, though. Catalina from the air: the default desktop image in the next macOS version. You can choose a morning or evening image, or let the OS change the image for different times of day. As always, the General tab lets you choose between Light and Dark mode, or choose the new Auto option for switching between modes at different times. Catalina at night is in the background.

Mobile Experts has collected data from dozens of software and hardware suppliers, as well as 20 different mobile operators, in order to pinpoint the specific opportunities served by virtualization in upcoming mobile networks. Major distinctions between public and private networks are illustrated, along with the impact of COTS semiconductors in the radio and the impact of virtualization in 2G through 4G networks. This new report complements the recent Mobile Experts report on Open RAN, which highlights the performance, cost, and flexibility implications of Open RAN standards in the market. Together, these two reports provide a complete picture of the changing architecture in mobile networks.
