The works for the underwater crossing of the Candiano channel have been completed, within the project for the Utra Wideband (UWB) infrastructures at the Port of Ravenna and the surrounding areas, aimed at the almost total coverage of the area, in conjunction with the FTTH connection of all the Access Points operating sites (Colacem, Fabbrica Vecchia, Foca Monaca, Nodo Sapir, Piloti, Ponte Mobile, Torre Bunge, Torre IFA, Torre PIR, Via Squero).

Lepida's Big Data infrastructure was launched in the production environment, after a period of study and experimentation and an evaluation of possible alternative solutions; the Oracle Cloud was chosen, and in particular the Oracle Big Data Service (BDS) consisting of a Cloudera distribution, engineered and adapted for automatic deployment within the Cloud infrastructure. The architecture has therefore undergone some changes, having to adapt to the new tools made available by clouding.

Allowing a conductor and his orchestra to play together in streaming, live, albeit from different locations: this is the ambitious goal achieved by the project "Orchestra diffusa" of the Foundation Ravenna Manifestazioni, in collaboration with Lepida, BH Audio & Ravenna Streaming, and realized through the staging, last September 30th, of the "Zanetto" by Mascagni at 7 contemporary recording sessions, located in Emilia-Romagna.

The ACTIVAGE project ended with the #ActivageBigDay, a streaming event on Zoom and Youtube, broadcast on October 21st. After all, although the choice was imposed by the limitations due to the pandemic, for ACTIVAGE it was very congenial, since the project is focused on innovation, such as smart living, Internet of things, all connected - and the digital transformation that cancels distances and optimizes paths, not leaving behind the weakest, those who cannot easily move or are forced to stay home.

There has been a lot of talk about 5G lately. From a simple new technology for cellular systems characterized by high capacity and very low latency, to a system with many antennas distributed in densely populated places to allow to deliver the maximum possible capacity, trying to reduce the transmission power. As usual there are committees in favor of the service and committees against electromagnetic fields. From a health point of view the discussion is to consider thousands of studies, some generic, others focused on the specific 5G system.
