Dell Technologies successfully completed live field trials of its first 5G-ready Latitude notebook on the Orange 5G network in Paris.
Orange 5G tests of Dell’s first 5G-ready Latitude 9510 notebook reached speeds nearly 20 times faster than 4G.
The demo builds on Dell’s agreement with Orange, one of the largest operators of mobile and internet services worldwide, to help people experience the impact and power of 5G.
“5G opens a broad new frontier for businesses and consumers with the Always-Connected PC. This announcement is a clear example of how 5G can impact our daily lives. Downloading a large presentation or training video could take seconds instead of minutes. Enhanced broadband communications and lower latency enables new usage models and users to complete tasks much faster than 4G-enabled networks, which creates and drives new business models and new applications, like augmented and virtual reality, cloud-assisted gaming, real-time language translation and image processing,” said Liam Quinn, Senior Vice President and Senior Fellow for Dell Technologies.
The two companies aim to unlock the true power of enhanced broadband communications in creating new opportunities for bandwidth-intensive applications.
They hope to demonstrate an immersive and interactive experience that unlocks new business opportunities and boosts productivity anytime, anywhere with the Always-Connected PC
Dell’s first 5G-ready Latitude notebook was announced at CES earlier this year, and is the first PC to successfully pass the Orange 5G testing.
These first field trials, conducted on the Orange 5G network in Paris, demonstrate the promise of 5G with sustained download speeds over 900 megabits per second on an enterprise-grade mobile compute platform – surpassing 4G speeds that typically are under 60 megabits per second.
By deploying Dell’s 5G PC on the Orange 5G network, the two companies are demonstrating that they can create immersive and interactive environments that unlock new business opportunities, while delivering what employees demand with connectivity to help boost productivity and collaboration.
Below are more details from the press release.

In less than 100 days, the grace period for businesses to get themselves General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliant will end. While the GDPR might be an EU regulation, its impact is guaranteed to be felt by all organisations that conduct business with the EU.
This guest blog was contributed by Raymond Goh, Head of Systems Engineering, Asia & Japan at Veeam Software.
Raymond Goh, Head of Systems Engineering, Asia & Japan at Veeam Software.
Asia represents an active and growing market for EU.
ASEAN, in particular, is EU’s third largest trading partner outside of Europe, and has been recognised for its high growth potential, with EU companies investing an average of €19 billion annually in the region.
- Check for any personally identifiable information (PII) of EU residents
- Manage Sensitive Information
- Protect your Data
Strong business relations between EU and Asia highlight the importance of the GDPR to all Asian organisations, and the clock is ticking for corporations to ensure they meet the stringent criteria before 25 May arrives.
GDPR compliance is unique to each company as each company is unique, but below are three tips to get you started.

Veeam Availability Orchestrator offers Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery compliance and peace of mind for enterprises.
Available today, Veeam Availability Orchestrator enables enterprises to mitigate the risk caused by outdated and untested disaster recovery plans and instead easily create, document, test and execute DR plans, ensuring total compliance. Click on image to enlarge.
Veeam® Software today announced the general availability of its new Veeam Availability Orchestrator – the newest addition to the Veeam Availability Platform – which enables enterprises to ensure business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) compliance.
“Enterprise customers are demanding not only Availability, but also help in ensuring compliance. In the event of a disaster, enterprises stand to lose millions in downtime, $21.8 million according to our latest Veeam Availability Report, as well as damaged reputation and lost productivity. Without having a disaster recovery plan that is up-to-date, tested and documented, it’s difficult to respond quickly when disaster strikes. With new Veeam Availability Orchestrator, enterprises can achieve a true Availability platform, reduce costs, define their DR plans, and achieve the peace of mind that comes from knowing that they are able and ready to provide business continuity, even in the worst case scenario,” said Danny Allan, Vice President of Product Strategy at Veeam.
Most DR failures can be tracked back to outdated and untested plans.
The rapidly increasing rate of business and technology changes makes it critical that companies update their DR plans continuously, something that only 14 percent do today, according to Forrester Research.
Veeam Availability Orchestrator tackles this problem by offering a DR orchestration solution that reduces the time, cost and effort associated with planning for and recovering from a disaster.
While many enterprises have a DR plan already in place, executing on these plans is often complex, cumbersome and time-consuming.
Expensive, error-prone manual processes are common but do not scale, resulting in DR plans that can easily become obsolete.
This results in risk to both data and application Availability, but also to compliance with industry regulations and governing bodies.
Veeam Availability Orchestrator provides an orchestration engine with planning, automated documenting and testing capabilities for preparedness and compliance, with full support for Veeam replicas.
