In an ideal world, all installations are flawless, and construction and commissioning should feel like plug-and-play with no need to test any of the network components or the cables that connect them. However, in the real world, we routinely encounter errors during installation projects, such as defective or damaged components, untrained or inexperienced installers, and […]
3 challenges you might face with Open RAN deployment. The deployment and management of the radio access network (RAN) is the most expensive part of network. Today, new 5G radio access networks (RANs) are being developed to support a range of new features, including multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) antennas, large spectrum bandwidths and multi-band carrier aggregation. […]
In a data center environment, there are several key considerations that go into whether to deploy a multimode fiber, short-wavelength or a single mode-fiber-based, long-wavelength optical network. As they continue to drive critical business processes with fiber-optic connectivity as their backbone to allow connection with link servers, storage systems, and switches, both data centers and […]
Despite the emergence of the internet of things (IoT) and increasing implementation of the first wave of 5G, the telecom industry is facing an inflection point and remains stuck in a low-growth mode. In fact, the decline in mobile voice services is expected to continue in the foreseeable future, which will largely offset the revenue […]
A flu pandemic swept the world from 1918 to 1920, infecting approximately a quarter of the world’s population and killing over 50 million. One hundred years later, the world is again facing the reality of a viral pandemic. But today we have accumulated a century of health and technological advances that can fortify the fight […]
The road moving forward to 5G is unpredicted for wireless networks. 5G technology has the capability to open incomparable possibilities to input creativity out into society through generating integrated infrastructure that obtains the ability to fasten buildings, transport and utilities. Along with 5G, there are significant opportunities for improvements within operations in society, including transport, […]
A global pandemic, alien invasions, and the zombie apocalypse… it’s all fun and games when it’s just the theme of a movie. But when at least one of those movie themes starts to resemble real life, the impacts to business become all too real. Looking beyond this outbreak, cities, governments and nations will need new […]
5G technology is the fifth generation of wireless technology, increasing the speed and responsiveness of wireless networks globally. The 5G rollout will involve network densification, allowing businesses to enhance their coverage in dense regions high in customer traffic. In 2020 we can expect to see the 5G rollout take place, however, there are still […]
5G is being developed and rolled out at a pace not experienced with earlier communications standards, and it’s not difficult to see why. 5G promises ultra-reliable, ultra-low latency connectivity. It’ll also allow operators to unlock new revenue streams and drive profits from IoT applications. The ability to capitalize on 5G is essential. Operators will continue […]
With 5G becoming more and more readily available, a number of industries are set to be positively impacted, primarily due to 5G’s low latency and high speed characteristics. The following are the top five industries which are set to experience major developments as 5G continues to be deployed. Transportation Transportation has already seen major […]
