The Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA) has thrown its weight behind the publication of two new international standards for 5G electric and magnetic fields (EMF).

Australian-German quantum computing hardware company Quantum Brilliance has appointed Mark Mattingley-Scott to the role of managing director of Europe.

Cloud computing specialist Nutanix has appointed Rajiv Ramaswami as its president and CEO.

Security fatigue is causing computer users to indulge in risky behaviour, both in computing and their personal lives, a study by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology claims.

Predictions of a bloodbath at IBM, heatedly denied by the company, appear to be true. Up to 100,000 of the company’s staff, nearly one quarter of the total global workforce, is facing the axe.

The IEEE has approved a new version of the Wi-Fi standard - IEEE 802.11ad - for Wi-Fi operating at 60GHz, delivering throughput up to 7Gbps and able to seamlessly fallback to the current standard for Wi-Fi in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

Five Internet standards bodies - the IEEE, Internet Architecture Board (IAB), Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), Internet Society and World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) - have joined force to push other standardisations bodies to adopt a new paradigm for global, open standards based on "the effective and efficient standardization processes that have made the Internet and Web the premiere platforms for innovation and borderless commerce."

The IEEE has published two important new standards for WiFi mesh networking and peer-to-peer communication between WiFi devices. It says the latter could produce a 10 fold increase in the data rate between connected devices.

The IEEE - which now bills itself as "the world's largest professional association advancing technology for humanity" - is taking steps to bring global standardisation to cloud computing with what it says is "the first broad-scope, forward-looking cloud computing initiative to be put forth by a global standards development organisation."

The IEEE has approved the next iteration of mobile WiMAX as IEEE802.16m, the first true 4G version of mobile WiMAX.

The IEEE, the world's largest technical professional technology association, has launched the IEEE eLearning Library offering almost 200 short, online courses in core and emerging technologies.

The IEEE has ratified a new ethernet standard covering operation at both 40Gbps and 100Gbps; it is the first to specify two different speeds.

The G.hn standard for wired home networks has been approved by the Telecommunication Union's Telecommunications sector (ITU-T), and is being touted as "the one global standard" but it faces competition from others.

Surprise, surprise.  As soon as security researchers turn their attention to a new field of endeavour, they find holes you could drive a truck through.  So it is with car computer management systems.

The WiMAX Forum has announced plans to bring forward feature upgrades to the mobile WiMAX standard that will improve throughput, particularly at the fringes of cell sites.

A market research firm is tipping a market of two million 60GHz short range wireless chipsets by 2015. Meanwhile NICTA is still confident of commercialising its 60GHz technology and says the market will be much bigger.
