Analyzer Bifurcation enables simultaneous multiple tests by multiple remote users so your testing can be completed faster Traditionally, PCI Express® protocol analysis is performed with one user conducting a single test on a dedicated, single function Analyzer. Now, multiple users can log into one VIAVI Xgig® 5P16 or 5P8 Analyzer at the same time to […]
Over the next few years, vendors in the network performance management industry will accelerate their pace of innovation to serve the rapidly shifting requirements of IT operations teams. Network performance management (NPM) is a mature market, with a core set of tried-and-true techniques for collecting and analyzing data from on-premises network infrastructure. But Enterprise Management […]
The fourth industrial revolution, also called Industry 4.0, is blending computing power with machine and sensor technologies. As the fastest and most reliable connectivity enabler, 5G will deliver an array of innovative use cases to increase factory capabilities and boost agility, freeing operations from wire dependency. 5G is helping us speed toward a reality […]
Small cells for 5G: the challenges and how to overcome them According to a Fortune Business Insights report, global investment in 5G small cell technology is set to increase from $175 million recorded in 2019, to $15.9 billion by 2026; a CAGR of 81.9%. Small cells will be an important part of 5G roll-out, especially […]
Pandemics have historically been part of human existence, as they can be found as early as 430 B.C. The flu pandemic, which occurred between 1918 and 1920, infected a quarter of the worldwide population and killed 50 million people. Fast forward to today, the human race needs to once again fight with another pandemic that […]
Edge computing is a recent development in which the data is processed locally at the edge of the network, making it closer to users and devices, which then reduces the latency. To grasp how edge computing can complement the 5G network infrastructure, an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms of edge computing is valuable. Two […]
There has been no doubt that fiber networks ensure the viability of smart-device applications, video streaming, and business requirements. However, with a demand increase, it only makes sense for service providers to continue striving for improvements in broadband access networks, which will require several tests on different network parameters, namely insertion loss, distance, and optical […]
Over the past few months, teams have been very busy developing 400G class pluggable optical modules. Both as QSFP-DD, predominantly for -ZR 80km applications, and CFP2 for full multi-service DWDM. These coherent modules are a complex mix of photonics, high speed electronics, DSP and firmware as well as mechanical and thermal engineering and we at […]
Here’s a situation that you may find recognizable. There is a critical service delivery issue and IT leadership pulls together a tiger team of 8-10 people into a war room session — several network engineers, a few developers, some security analysts, and the CTO are included. Within the first 20 minutes, the network engineering team […]
Timing and synchronization is everything in 5G For a mobile network operator, timing is everything. Not just determining when to upgrade the network to bring new services to market, but in the literal sense as well. If the radio clock loses synchronization accuracy in a radio access network (RAN), or the radios are out of […]
