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 […]

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 […]
In the mid-90’s, the arrival of Internet, cable, and mobile phone services produced a charged cocktail of events that changed the communications landscape forever. Approximately 30 years on, the broadband industry looks profoundly different than it did in the early Internet dial-up days. For example, while the world’s incumbent operators are still going strong, they […]
AI OPS means using AI and Machine Learning for efficient data collection, processing, and selection, to rapidly identify and expose the most relevant information to automate and operate your Telco or IT network. Here are four reasons why you should consider AI OPS.
In their latest revision (September 2022), the Telecom Industry Association (TIA) added MPO test requirements and procedures to their optical fiber cabling component standard, ANSI/TIA-568.3-E. The revision adds MPO-specific requirements referencing TIA-526-28. TIA-526-28 is an adoption of IEC 61280-4-5 and deals with attenuation measurement of MPO-terminated fiber optic cabling plant using test equipment with MPO […]
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.
