Are your standards high enough to ensure quality fiber builds? In the previous blog we saw that bi-directional (bi-dir) OTDR testing provides a number of advantages and lets you deal with issues arising from differences between fibers being spliced together (specifically difference in Modal Field Diameter – MFD) that result in false positives or false […]
Well, let’s start with why test at all? With all the time, effort, and money (particularly the money) put into the deployment of dark fiber or construction of fiber networks, owners and investors want to make sure they are getting good quality fiber links out of these projects. Everyone knows that some form of testing […]
Business owners today are aware of the technological advantages of 5G technology; however, many are unaware of the specific use cases where 5G implementation can really add value to their organization. CIOs and other business leaders are identifying business opportunities, and companies across industries are increasing their use of private and public 5G networks […]
At the moment, China currently sits at the top of the world standings when it comes to the number of 5G towers successfully installed. However, even with 600,000 5G towers and base stations installed throughout the country, it has only touched the surface of complete 5G penetration, as the country will need up to 10 […]
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.
