    The innovation and infrastructure of online gaming

    Gaming has been the R&D engine of every major technology shift for the past 25–30 years. In this episode of Interconnected, hosts Shaneil Lafayette (Senior Product Marketing Manager, Equinix) and Thomas Gould (Senior Manager, Equinix) sit down with Royal O’Brien, CEO of Expanxia, and Wesley Kuo, CEO of Ubitus, to unpack how gaming evolved far beyond entertainment to become the proving ground for scalable compute, intelligent networks, and real-time digital experiences. From cloud and edge rendering to latency optimization and AI-driven pipelines, discover how the systems perfected in multiplayer worlds now underpin the next generation of connected applications. Key points: Gaming has been the testing ground for graphics rendering, distributed systems, and real-time internet performance.Cloud and edge rendering reduce hardware limits and expand access.Logical routing can outperform geographic proximity for latency.Distributed compute zones support fairness and synchronization at scale.Player token identity enables rapid reconnection and continuity.AI is becoming the next game engine across creation, QA, and world simulation.

    Autonomous vehicles and the future of mobility

    Autonomous technology is shifting from pilot projects to practical infrastructure. From robotaxis in Phoenix to delivery drones in Shenzhen and automated yard trucks at ports, machines are starting to move people and goods with minimal human input. Every safe, reliable autonomous mile depends on invisible digital systems; edge compute for real-time decision-making, low-latency connectivity, and data networks that never sleep. In this episode of Interconnected, hosts Glenn Dekhayser and Simon Lockington are joined by MIT Research Scientist Bryan Reimer and Equinix VP of Market Development Petrina Steele to explore how global infrastructure is evolving to support the next generation of autonomy. In this episode: Edge computing enables vehicles to process and share data locally for faster, safer decisions.Low-latency connectivity determines how efficiently mission-critical computation moves between the car and the cloud.Multi-layer sensing and redundancy improve safety both inside and outside autonomous systems.Mining leads current automation efforts due to its regulated, closed environments and strong ROI.AI continues to enhance decision-making, learning, and coordination across connected systems.Future autonomy will rely on open data marketplaces, adaptive energy grids, and edge zones that blanket cities.

    Stablecoins, blockchain and the future of finance

    Finance is evolving from an institution-led system to one defined by code, connectivity and cryptographic trust. As Sheila Warren explains, blockchain replaces centralized recordkeepers with transparent, peer-to-peer networks that enable programmable money. Stablecoins, digital tokens pegged to fiat value, are already transforming cross-border payments, making them faster, cheaper and globally accessible. But decentralization only works when the physical systems behind it, including low-latency networks, custody solutions and compute infrastructure, keep pace. This episode examines how infrastructure, policy and design are converging to make decentralized finance viable at scale. Key Infrastructure Tie-Ins Centralized vs. Decentralized Exchanges: Guests compare security, custody and latency across both models and highlight emerging hybrids that blend institutional oversight with decentralized rails.Stablecoin Infrastructure: Discussion centers on the U.S. GENIUS Act and its framework for reserves, transparency and compliance, setting the stage for stablecoins as regulated digital dollars.Bridges and Interoperability: Cross-chain networks like Wormhole enable digital assets to move safely between ecosystems, demanding high-throughput interconnects and resilient validator networks.On-Chain Privacy and Verification: Technologies such as zero-knowledge proofs and smart-contract hooks offer privacy-preserving ways to verify identity and compliance at machine speed. Future Outlook In the next five years, guests expect stablecoin circulation to increase tenfold, with both consumers and institutions using blockchain rails. Traditional financial players are building their own blockchains, blending 24/7 digital markets with regulatory stability. As crypto and TradFi converge, decentralized finance will hinge on scalable, compliant infrastructure capable of handling global throughput and post-quantum security demands.
