Telstra's annual Innovation Challenge took place on the weekend, with Australian teams building IoT solutions for very interesting health and wellness challenges, with one winner a true belter.

AMSL Aero, one of the companies in Telstra's muru-D start-up accelerator programme, is building what it calls a Verti-plane that can take off and land vertically like a helicopter but fly fast like a plane.

Cyber security, real-time analytics, containers and microservices, digital team collaboration and a digital twin are the trends, so how does Telstra chief technology officer Håkan Eriksson explain how businesses of all sizes will feel the effects of these technologies?

The winds of change are sweeping through the Telecommunications Association (TelSoc), with the 143 year-old industry group giving itself a makeover, with a new logo, new look and changes to the way it interacts with members and potential members.

Telstra has appointed former Ericisson ANZ boss, Håkan Eriksson, as its new chief technology officer, replacing the telco’s previous CTO, Vish Nandlall, who left the company under a cloud of controversy earlier this year.

Håkan Eriksson has been appointed Head of Strategy for Region South East Asia and Oceania for Ericsson, effective Jan 1 2016.
