Last week, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office announced a new patent detailing how a tech giant intends to leverage blockchain to secure data traversing 5G networks.
While this company is not the only telecom technology supplier to pursue ways in which the distributed ledger can contribute to data integrity, their patent is another milestone along the pathway to accelerating 5G – then 6G – adoption supporting edge applications across billions of intelligent edge devices.
It took the patent office less than a year and a half June 2018 to assign the patent for a blockchain platform that can be natively integrated in wireless networks, managing data sessions between machines and humans, at the intersection of Real Time Communications (RTC) and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Their new technology appears to be designed to manage part of the data exchanges between a network and a connected device through a blockchain interface.
Without blockchain, service providers will be hard-pressed to manage the exchange of data in an efficient and secure manner, and without addressing the challenges with blockchain-embedded and native approaches, the risk grows exponentially as smaller, less expensive, lower-powered and simply cooler devices are adopted, and connected across existing and new networks.
The truth is, blockchain transactions are still notoriously slow, so there are incentives for speeding things up for real-time sessions, which will create a huge boon for data centers and service providers who will stand up and manage extremely fast computers, yet another opportunity for both Cloud Service Providers and Communications Service Providers
