Synchronization testing of servers in a lab environment will not necessarily reflect the actual results in the field. Read why verifying synchronization in the live, working network is the only way to assure timing accuracy and performance. Obstacles to achieving 5G’s promised performance lurk around every corner. Let’s face it, distributed and disaggregated architectures that […]
Secure Access Secure Edge (SASE) represents an evolutionary step for SD-WAN vendors to enhance SD-WAN security in the multi-cloud environment. Learn why a comprehensive test and validation strategy is essential to manage SD-WAN security effectively. SD-WANs are commonly virtualized and rely heavily on the public Internet, along with a range of private WAN connections. Managing […]
RAN Intelligent Controller At the O-RAN Alliance Plugfest at the end of last year, VIAVI, alongside partners AT&T, Samsung and Nokia, demonstrated an end-to-end traffic steering use case based on a number of open source components. One of these was the near real-time RAN Intelligent Controller platform, or RIC. Central to the demo was VIAVI’s […]
Known to some as “The Wild West of SD-WAN,” we have identified a set of best practices to tame the complexity of SD-WAN. Learn the essentials of managing SD-WAN complexity with a comprehensive test and validation strategy. Because of its policy-based forwarding, inherent security and centralized management, SD-WAN (software-defined wide-area network) is viewed by many […]
Virtual environments have been critical for many of us over the past year. The office as a physical space – not just for employees but a place to host servers and hardware – is diminishing in importance. Employees have been able to access applications and collaborative working tools wherever they’ve been working, reducing our […]
Telcos and hyperscalers join forces to tackle connectivity 5G is here, and with it the promise of a range of new use cases that rely on ultra-low latency and ultra-reliable networks. In order to be able deliver on these performance requirements, networks are pushing processing power closer to the end users, to the edge of […]
Ethernet business services including cell site backhaul, internet access, and all the flavors of virtual private networks are among the most profitable and fastest growing services at many communications service providers. The best operations teams take great care to ensure business services are high quality on delivery to eliminate costly customer disputes. Here’s a list […]
The new 5G technology will considerably improve a large number of services and accelerates the digital transformation of an industry. With massive and low-latency connectivity, 5G can revolutionize the robotics industry, especially when it is combined with MEC (Mobile or Multi-access Edge Compute). In this article, we will explain why 5G is paramount to the […]
Learn about VIAVI 5G Solutions 5G is in its infancy, which means challenges – in terms of testing, launching and funding new networks – still remain. Yet major industry players including Apple, Google, Ericsson and Nokia have announced their participation in industry research initiatives to develop 6G. How can we incorporate learnings from the ongoing […]
