The deployment of 5G has been long anticipated for its exciting benefits: faster speed, better performance, lower latency, and a much more reliable service. However, we rarely talk about the importance of the network infrastructure behind 5G, which needs to be able to continuously support millions of devices at once. And yet, according to a […]
The march towards 5G has been a natural evolution of cellular technology that has been happening since the invention of the telephone – however, the economic impact that 5G brings is what makes it the most significant one. It has only been just over a year since the deployment of 5G began, yet so far […]
The rise of high-tech applications, such as 5G, IoT, Smart Cities, and ultra-HD video conferencing, is driving a need for better connectivity and bandwidth in many places, including office and commercial buildings. Fiber cabling is the primary technology that will be able to support and enable these applications, hence fiber-based building connectivity has been highly […]

The IEC recently published the first standard for field testing of MPO installations. IEC 61280-4-5 fills a gap in standards by providing clear guidance for how to test MPO systems of various configurations. For some time, VIAVI has made clear statements that existing standards such as IEC 61280-4-1 and 4-2 apply to simplex and duplex […]
Where’s the problem? The basic function of a TDR is to test a cable to either verify its length and quality, or to identify points in the cable that are causing problems. Traditionally the user would look at the trace, in which reflections are indicated by positive or negative deviations, and place a marker on […]
There are various ways to which 5G mobile networks can improve the way we live – yet, they are framed as a luxury rather than a necessity. These networks produce faster speeds and lower latency that facilitates ultra-high definition video streaming, which are typically perceived as a means to enhance smartphone and gaming experience. However, […]
Pluggable coherent optics offer advantages in many areas. One of the biggest factors is electronic dispersion compensation. For DCI, traditional ‘direct detect’ systems needed a detailed pre-planned link with dispersion compensation ‘engineered in’. This is both expensive and challenging to deploy. Scaling and maintaining are complicated. Electronic dispersion compensation inside the DSP of coherent modules […]
5G aims to provide gigabits of throughput, highly reliable low latency connections for industrial automation and other time sensitive applications. To deliver, however, 5G networks require ubiquitous and seamless 5G coverage. The big challenge is the availability and the type of RF spectrum. 5G standards, starting from release 15, support spectrums both in the sub-six […]
