Forrester Research predicts that investment in artificial intelligence (AI) will surmount $1.2 trillion by 2020, but the fact of that matter is that this exponential growth only scratches the surface when discussing AI and the Internet of Things (IoT). Fueled by mesh technologies, which provide means for connecting various devices to the internet, it is believed AI has the ability to double annual economic growth in developing countries. With this in mind, companies in the technology landscape are racing to develop advanced mesh technologies to improve AI and IoT capabilities while other factors influencing the growth of mesh technologies include more complex business networks and models, as well as rising demand for high-speed internet on the go. Active companies in the markets this week include Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTC: GOPH), Pure Storage Inc. (NYSE: PSTG), International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE: IBM), Parateum Corporation (NYSE: TEUM), Splunk Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLK).

Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH) BREAKING NEWS: Gopher Protocol, a company specializing in the creation of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence enabled mobile technologies, announced that is has completed a Major Milestone in the development of its new communication technology with the finalization of the architecture and infrastructure design of its Decentralized MESH system ("DMS"). This architecture and infrastructure design of the DMS paves the way to begin the next phase focused on the network modeling and functionality verification.In this next phase, Gopher intends to:

• Review range/power performance relative to various factors and approaches. Develop an initial framework for Firmware (permanent software programmed into a read-only memory), Bi-Directional routing and communications.
• Leveraging node hopping methodology.
• Finalizing state machine optimization for time division control.

One of the essential tasks is assessing gateway (portable and static) capabilities to ensure in-range mobile nodes support and defining maximum/minimum number of node hops to provide efficient coverage for all areas. It is Gopher's goal to assimilate its national locations to perform as repeater gateways (boosters) to extend ranges and maintain effective coverage.

In other words, Gopher intends to design a new network using its own deployed, existing network locations with the goal of combining the network with "opted-in" mobile devices to create a national communications network operating without the costs associated with a national carrier. In order to communicate through this new network, an "opted-in" mobile device will need to be manufactured with Gopher's microchip, which is under development, or through a SIM Card or SD Card.  

"We are proud to start the network modeling and functionality verification of our Decentralized MESH network. Our goal is to produce a model for simulation and finalization of the system's electronic schematics and flow. In this model, we also intend to include an enhancement in the RDF (Radio Direction Finding) through extensive encryption and other factors in order to obfuscate our system's radio frequency signal, making it secure and undetectable " stated Dr. Rittman, Gopher's Chief Technology Officer..

Other majors involvement in the industry includes:

Pure Storage Inc. (NYSE: PSTG) finished Wednesday up 2.54% with over 2.4 million shares traded on the day. Pure Storage is still a relatively small player in a slow-growing industry. Yet it's competing in fast-growing areas and taking market share from legacy providers. Its relationship with Nvidia serves as a prime example. Joint marketing activities between Pure Storage and Nvidia have been ongoing for several quarters. The wins have been piling up, helping push Pure Storage to profitability in the latest quarter. Following its first product launch in 2012 and initial public offering in 2015, Pure Storage eclipsed $1 billion in annual revenue for fiscal 2018. On March 27, Pure Storage announced its AI-Ready Infrastructure, which combines its FlashBlade and Nvidia's DGX-1 high-performance workstation as a fully integrated hardware and software system. The aim is to enable scientists to jump-start their artificial intelligence initiatives "in hours, not weeks or months."

International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE: IBM) closed up .61% on Wednesday with 3.1 million shares traded. A new study from IBM reveals that nearly 60 percent of organizations surveyed are embracing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as an opportunity to improve privacy, security, data management or as catalyst for new business models, rather than simply a compliance issue or impediment. To reduce their exposure, the study indicated that the majority of companies are being more selective in the data they collect and manage, with 70 percent disposing of data ahead of the deadline for compliance. Companies' preparation for GDPR comes in the wake of increased scrutiny from consumers on businesses' management of personal data. A separate poll of 10,000 consumers, conducted by the Harris Poll on behalf of IBM, found that only 20 percent of U.S. consumers completely trust organizations they interact with to maintain the privacy of their data.
