Jun, 2025 : Curaçao Joins CELIA Cable for Caribbean-US Connectivity
📅 - The government of Curaçao and Aruba telco Setar have reached a deal with telecom startup Aquatel – co-founded by utility company Aqualectra, to link Curaçao to the proposed CELIA undersea cable, which would link several Caribbean islands to the United States.
In a statement, Aquatel, which was formally founded in January as a joint venture between Integrated Utility Holding and Aqualectra, stated that the CELIA cable will provide Curaçao with stronger, more dependable, and resilient connectivity, reducing the island's reliance on outmoded telecom networks and outside infrastructure.
The CELIA cable, which was announced in December 2024, is being planned by the Caribbean ELIte Alliance [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - CoreWeave Leases Applied Digital’s Ellendale Site to Expand AI Offering - CoreWeave, a rapidly growing AI hyperscaler, has entered into two long-term lease agreements with Applied Digital Corporation (Nasdaq: APLD), a developer and operator of next-generation infrastructure for high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. The deals, extending approximately 15 years, will enable CoreWeave to host its AI and HPC operations at Applied Digital's Ellendale data center campus in North Dakota, a site specifically designed to accommodate the next wave of compute-intensive applications.
Under the terms of the agreements, Applied Digital will provide 250 megawatts (MW) of IT power load to support CoreWeave's infrastructure. The company anticipates that the leases will [...]
📅 - Marvell Launches Advanced Platform for Custom AI Accelerators - The innovative packaging platform allows for multi-chip accelerator designs that are 2.8 times larger than traditional single-die implementations and is a component of Marvell's extensive intellectual property portfolio for specialized AI compute systems. In addition to offering a manufacturing alternative to conventional interposer-based multi-chip techniques, the Marvell methodology can facilitate more effective die-to-die connectivity, reduced power usage, higher chiplet yields, and reduced product costs. The packaging platform is currently ramping up production after being qualified with a major hyperscaler.
Chip packaging has become essential in the AI era for boosting compute [...]
📅 - Nebius Debuts in UK with NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra to Power AI Infrastructure - Nebius, a prominent player in the global AI infrastructure sector, has announced its official entry into the UK market with the deployment of NVIDIA's next-generation Blackwell Ultra GPUs. This strategic move marks a significant step in bolstering Britain's AI capabilities and aligns with national objectives to strengthen domestic computing power across key sectors.
By integrating hundreds of Blackwell Ultra GPUs into its infrastructure, Nebius aims to support a broad spectrum of British users - from emerging startups and public institutions to large enterprises and academic research communities. The deployment, expected to be fully operational by the fourth quarter of 2025, is positioned [...]
📅 - Oxford Sets World Record for Quantum Bit Error Rate: Just 1 in 6.7M - With the lowest mistake rate ever recorded for a quantum logic operation - just 0.000015%, or one error in 6.7 million operations - physicists from the University of Oxford have established a new world standard for the precision of managing a single quantum bit. Compared to the previous standard, which was established by the same study group ten years ago, this record-breaking performance is almost an order of magnitude better.
The results, which will be published this week in Physical Review Letters, would represent a significant step toward the development of reliable and practical quantum computers. A person would be more likely to be hit by lightning in a given year (1 in 1.2 million) [...]
📅 - IBM Plans World’s First Large-Scale Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer - IBM has announced a significant milestone in quantum computing with plans to construct what could become the world's first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer. Set for deployment in 2029, the system - named IBM Quantum Starling - will be hosted in a newly built IBM Quantum Data Center in Poughkeepsie, New York. The project marks a decisive step in IBM's roadmap to making quantum computing scalable and practical, potentially redefining the future of high-performance computing across multiple industries.
Quantum Starling is expected to vastly outperform today's most advanced quantum systems, with IBM claiming it could be up to 20,000 times more powerful. According to IBM, [...]
📅 - Connectbase Unveils IP Address Management (IPAM) Module - Trey Willis, Connectbase's Chief Technology Officer, stated, "Our digital infrastructure customers have been requesting that we move away from limited-scope, single-purpose applications - IPAM being a frequent example—and consolidate onto Connectbase. This new capability is natively integrated into the core of their network inventory operations, providing enterprise-grade IP address management." A More Intelligent, Centralized Method for IP Management Manual spreadsheets or compartmentalized systems have historically been used to manage IP addresses, which has led to uneven visibility, operational risk, and higher overhead. By providing network teams with a consolidated and contextualized [...]
