Recently, VISA published a Security Alert that described three attacks targeting point-of-sale (POS) systems. While fuel dispenser merchants’ POS environments were the targets, this little article is not about bad guys and gas pumps, this is a discussion about profiles. What profiles? Why profiles? In this context, let’s define two types of profiles this way: […]
Companies agree on a distribution deal for VIAVI test solutions in the United States VIAVI has announced an alliance with Ingram Micro Inc. for U.S. distribution of select VIAVI test instruments for fiber and cable networks, and performance management solutions for enterprise networks. Market-leading product portfolios represented in the deal include fiber test tools such […]
400 gigabit ethernet is quite self-explanatory in the fact that it is an ethernet connection which operates four times faster than 100G. The name ‘400GbE’ stands for the next capacity rate in Ethernet interfaces. 400 GbE is advancing the optical network landscape, pushing network providers to adopt the new addition in order to stay ahead. […]
Submarine cabling is not a new concept, in fact, it was first implemented in 1858, connecting Newfoundland and Ireland through a telegraph cable that was placed deep beneath the sea’s surface. Whilst this was revolutionary at the time, the first non-test message that was sent was a 509-letter message that took 17 hours and 40 […]
China has commenced an extensive digital and infrastructure plan to make the nation future-ready. The country’s expansive Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) has included projects such as Myanmar’s Kyaukpyu port, the high-speed railway system in northern Laos, and rail and pipeline installation across Malaysia. Additionally, China has invested billions of dollars into similar projects in […]
Network convergence might sound like an enigmatic concept when, in fact, it’s simply the aggregation of all electronic mediums of communication onto one ubiquitous 5G network. In essence, it merges mobile, video transmission, data communication services into a coexisting network. The need for increased bandwidth in an always-online society is the motivation that has given […]
Disaggregated RAN – or vRAN – is quickly gaining momentum among OEMs and others in the telecoms industry, and has arguably reached critical mass. Nowhere was this clearer to the VIAVI team than during the recent TIP Summit in Amsterdam, the participants at which included a significant percentage of first-time attendees. It was also interesting […]
Full-fiber broadband is already on the horizon. In fact, the APAC region are ahead of the curve as Singapore reaches first place with 93% fiber coverage across the island. The rest of the world is following along with substantial investments into similar infrastructure across multiple countries. For example, the UK recently approved a £5 billion […]
Every day, professionals across a range of industries rely on radio communications using Land Mobile Radio (LMR) technologies, including digital mobile radio (DMR) systems. Whether a routine communication or a mission-critical emergency call, each transmission requires reliable and resilient technology. Radio test solutions play a critical role in ensuring that reliability and performance. Today, VIAVI […]
Tag – You’re It! Signal Tags and Their Use in Cable Signal Leakage Detection Cable signal leakage technologies have been around for more than three decades, and while the underlying concept of detecting CATV signals leaking out of the network has not changed, the technologies to accomplish this have changed considerably. Shortly after the first […]
