Igor Di Paolo
Head of Information Technology
Designs the infrastructure that makes the experience reliable, not merely visible.
Igor Di Paolo is a computer engineer with experience in real-time and low-latency systems, mobile networks, high-performance computing, firmware and IoT. At the usual neXt he leads the software, integrations and digital workflows required for control, content and operational infrastructure.
Problem, transformation, contribution
Why this experience matters to the usual neXt projects
An immersive system connects media servers, content, control, networks, sensors and operator interfaces. Igor applies methods developed on high-performance infrastructure: explicit requirements, observability, protocol analysis, testing and control of bottlenecks.
Low latency and continuity
Experience with multithreaded systems and high-performance computing supports workflows where delay, synchronisation and resource saturation directly affect perceived quality.
Integration from software to the field
Firmware, Linux, IoT, networking and cross-platform applications make it possible to design the complete chain: sensor, protocol, service, interface and operator behaviour.
Diagnosis before disruption
Traffic analysis, distributed logs and troubleshooting across 3G, 4G and 5G protocols provide the discipline needed to identify anomalies, dependencies and root causes before they become service failures.
Professional background
From network research to high-performance systems
His background spans academic simulation, sensing, firmware, mobile core networks and applications. This breadth supports evaluating an immersive system as one infrastructure rather than a collection of isolated devices.

Project responsibilities
Where he contributes in the project workflow
Igor oversees the digital architecture from requirements through operational diagnosis, working across content, hardware and field teams.
-
01
Architecture
Requirements, components, protocols, dependencies and performance limits are defined before development.
-
02
Integration
Software, networks, sensors, media and interfaces are tested as one system.
-
03
Operations
Logs, diagnostics and operational tools make the system observable and supportable.

Leadership
Specialist expertise designed to work as one team.
the usual neXt integrates project leadership, stakeholder relations, software and technical production. Each specialist retains a clear responsibility within one delivery process.
Next step
Start with the result the project must deliver.
Share the context, audience, space and objective. The team will define the useful scope and establish whether the next step is an initial assessment, a configuration or a quotation.
