Dark fiber is the term used for an optical fiber cable that has been laid but is not in use. In standard fiber cables, light pulses are used to send information, these cables are referred to as ‘dark’ when they are not in use as there are no light pulses being transmitted through them. There […]
5G technology offers capabilities such as Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) and ultra-reliable low latency communication (uRLLC) that are well-suited for business-critical applications. The aviation industry is expected to invest heavily in 5G technology, with projections of reaching $3.9 billion by 2026. 5G has the potential to revolutionize the entire aviation […]
The rollout of 5G is much anticipated, with end-users already planning how to apply the quicker speeds and lower latency of 5G services and applications to their benefit. 5G technology is more than the latest update to existing communications, and as such, requires significant infrastructure and connectivity changes. In order to ensure 5G can provide […]
The deployment of 5G networks will enable new advanced forms of data transmission that have never been possible previously, changing the way we communicate both personally and professionally. Businesses across all industries will benefit from the quicker data speeds that 5G technology will enable, however, it will have the biggest impact on industries that rely […]
The automobile sector is developing at pace, with autonomous vehicles becoming a primary priority for many manufacturers in the industry. Car manufacturers in the autonomous vehicle space are partnering with telecommunications providers to access the advanced technologies necessary to get these innovative vehicles on the market. 5G technology is the leading technology to power driverless […]
The transport and logistics industry established itself as an indispensable service during the COVID-19 pandemic, when access to products was limited due to movement restrictions. This has resulted in increased consumer expectations of the industry in terms of shorter delivery timeframes, more detailed forecasting, and increased access to information on delivery status. To succeed in […]
The deployment of open-RAN is a much-discussed topic in the telecommunications industry, generating controversial opinions on both sides of the discussion. Open-RAN advocates are focused on the potential of the technology to empower telecommunications providers as it prevents vendor lock-in and allows for an operator or system integrator to create first-class network components through the use of […]
While Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have been around for years, they have not yet entered the mainstream. However, the increasing development and deployment of 5G and edge computing is paving the way for wide-scale adoption of AR & VR through providing solutions to overcome the challenges traditionally faced by the technologies. […]
The latest GSMA Mobile Economy Report predicted the number of global 5G connections to tip 1 billion by the end of 2022 and double to 2 billion by 2025 – at which point, 5G will account for a quarter of all mobile connections globally. The demand for 5G has been stronger than expected in […]
Though we live in an increasingly wireless world, that connectivity depends on wires under the ocean. Subsea or submarine cables are fiber optic cables that connect countries across the world via cables laid on the ocean floor. These cables – often thousands of miles in length – are able to transmit huge amounts of data […]
