Advances in quantum computing, coupled with the rise of “harvest now, decrypt later” strategies among cybercriminals, are heightening the urgency to safeguard data and networks. This has been underscored by several recent high-profile breaches, including in October 2025, when it was revealed that “vast amounts” of classified UK government data had been taken in a […]
Test and measurement for critical infrastructure is entering a new phase. In 2026, changes that have been emerging in the background are very much set to shift to become front of mind. These changes relate to security, AI, photonics, and sensing. While all could be said to be related but evolving independently, they are now […]
January arrives with a different kind of energy. The decorations are packed away, our stomachs have had their pick, pace is steadier, and the attention starts turning from celebration to intention. It is also the time for fresh starts and setting the foundation for what comes next. In this spirit of renewal, TDC NET enters […]
VIAVI has always been present at major inflection points across technology – and 2025 was no different. As we continued to engage with and support the telecommunications industry around the globe, we also reinforced our leadership in the data center ecosystem, aerospace, defense, and security sectors. In this blog, we review some of the breakthroughs from […]
A persistent challenge looms for avionics technicians and maintainers: how do you test systems that rely on GPS when an aircraft is undergoing servicing and in the hangar? In this blog, we examine GPS repeaters, GPS simulators, and how advances in micro-transcoding technologies are enabling GPS signals to be delivered at a fraction of the […]
At the joint Nokia and New York University (NYU) Brooklyn 6G Summit 2025, VIAVI and Northeastern University’s digital twin demonstration received the “Best Demonstration” award in recognition of its potential application across a wide variety of use cases from lab to field, including cellular wireless, modular and synthetic, radio test, and alternate Position, Navigation, and […]
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Breaking Barriers for Agentic Networks Hackathon in partnership with Telecom Infra Project brought together 377 participants across 68 projects to explore the role of agentic AI in solving challenges and capturing new opportunities in the telecom industry. 45 in-person teams attended the hackathon at Dogpatch Labs in Dublin, Ireland, while others […]
Be it an earthquake, tsunami, flood or wildfire, Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) and reality capture technologies play a vital role in disaster recovery and rebuilding efforts. In this blog, we examine how these can be implemented with a real-world example of how VIAVI’s technology is helping to rebuild following the United States’ worst wildfire […]
Networks strive to enable both high throughput and low latency. However, as the number of packets moving through a given network reaches their limit, queues start to build, with delays/ congestion introduced as a result. Congestion therefore needs to be managed but legacy mechanisms for detecting congestion rely on packet loss as a measure that […]
Advances in quantum computers mean elliptic curve cryptographic (ECC) techniques will likely be cracked in about five years. These advances not only include processing power (IBM’s Kookaburra processor is set to exceed 4,000 qubits later this year), but also in error correction. As an example, Google’s Willow is a 105 qubit computer and these error […]
