Devices, systems, methods, and processes for dynamically reducing the size of a video transmission are described herein. An energy-saving video transmission device can include a controller, a memory, a communication port coupled with at least a second device, and a virtual meeting logic configured to establish a virtual meeting with a video transmission. The video transmission is transmitted to at least the second device. The virtual meeting logic can determine a virtual meeting configuration and collect sustainability attributes data. Based on the collected data, an energy-saving video transmission rate can be selected. Often, this can indicate how often to capture and transmit keyframes of the video transmission instead of the entire video transmission. Finally, based on the energy-saving video transmission rate, a reduced size video transmission can be transmitted over a network. Subsequently, additional events can be detected that allow for the dynamic adjustment of the energy-saving video transmission rate.

Dynamic energy-saving video transmissions for sustainable collaboration

A system and methods by which a reconfigurable intelligent surface device is dynamically configured to control the reflection of transmissions made between an access point and one or more client devices so as to protect the transmissions from being properly received by an unauthorized device. These methods may be used to maintain data confidentiality, particularly for remote workers. The positions of the access point and client devices are used to configure the reconfigurable intelligent surface device to reflect the transmissions inward and avoid/minimize leakage outside a physical space.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for orchestrating data center resources and user access to data. In some examples, a system can determine, at a first time, that a user will need, at a second time, access to data stored at a first location, from a second location. The system can identify a node which is capable of storing the data and accessible by a device from the second location. The system can also determine a first service parameter associated with a network connection between the device and the first location and a second service parameter associated with a network connection between the device and the node. When the second service parameter has a higher quality than the first service parameter, the system can migrate the data from the first location to the node so the device has access to the data from the second location through the node.

Orchestration system for migrating user data and services based on user information

Techniques for determining an optimal connection path by a NHNaaS are described. The techniques may include receiving a registration from an IPS that includes service ISP service parameters, and storing the registration in a NaaS database. A request to connect to a remote service from a user device, including user parameters required is received. ISPs having respective service parameters compatible with the user parameters are identified in the NaaS database. Multiple paths offered by the service providers between the user device and the remote service are determined. Network performance data for each path is received from a network monitoring service. Using the network performance data, an optimal path for establishing the connection is identified. A request to instantiate a tunnel between the user device and remote service is transmitted to the service providers along the optimal path and the tunnel information is transmitted to the user device.
