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 […]
All-optic networks provide network capacity within the Photonic Domain. The Photonic Domain involves the use of radiant energy with photon as its fundamental element. Likewise, as electronic applications use electrons, the Photonic uses the photon. The intelligent all-optic networks are redefining the optical industry, in fact, it is re-shaping the future. An all-optic network […]
5G may be only just out of the starting blocks, but 6G is quickly emerging as the next hot topic. We perhaps shouldn’t have been surprised to learn that, in the same month that it launched 5G in 50 cities, China announced the launch of a national technology R&D centre focused on 6G. The telecoms […]
After reviewing all available data, VIAVI has chosen to cancel participation in this year’s MWC Barcelona out of an abundance of caution and concern for our employees, customers and partners. VIAVI remains excited about its powerful suite of 5G solutions. We will be contacting customers and other stakeholders that we intended to meet at the […]
The future of the network: 5G, Fiber Optics & Edge Computing A digital network is, in layman’s terms, a transportation system for information. Imagine the system to be a factory floor conveyor belt. In this scenario, edge computing processes are ‘stations’ placed as far out as possible on the belt to make it faster […]
One of the most exciting selling points of 5G is the release of congestion currently experienced on the 4G network. Add to that unparalleled internet speeds and data transfers, the new mobile internet technology is beaming with potential waiting to be scaled. Anyone on the 4G network can attest to the congestion with untimely pauses […]
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. […]
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 […]
