As module bitrates increased from 100Gbs so too did the complexity of the modules. Starting with DSP based signal conditioning and clock recovery and onwards to pluggable coherent optics, PAM-4 and CMIS. With this new level of complexity, we had to take a very different approach to module-to-pluggable optics development, debugging and validation. Specifically, the […]

The ever-growing demand for higher and larger bandwidth, computing power, storage and speed capabilities in the modern age, not to mention constructing a seamless and secure cloud service, can only be fulfilled by a complete hyperscale ecosystem integrated with the 5G. This ground-breaking technology has been pushing the digital ecosystem by introducing more intelligence to […]

Advanced Upstream Blog Series Introduction In the Advanced Upstream blog series we will explore how cable operators have traditionally managed upstream bandwidth capacity planning, how market dynamics and technical innovation are driving changes, and where things are likely headed in the coming years.  In this entry we will wrap up the HFC Advanced Upstream discussion, […]

5G networks are set to transform and revolutionise how their assembly lines work in the future. This state-of-the-art technology is the most potent iteration to ever exist on the planet. The benefits it produces are insurmountably crucial and valuable for the development of manufacturing moving forward. Nevertheless, for this technology to be truly embedded into […]

5G is touted as the next generation of cellular networks, with its state-of-the-art technologies to completely alter the nature of interconnectivity. The world has changed drastically ever since the 3G network was introduced, and now 5G will make its mark in history as the most potent cellular network in existence. That said, the backhaul process […]

The recent pandemic has opened people’s eyes to the importance of the internet. Some may go further and propose that the internet is no longer a privilege but a rather basic human necessity. With this increased demand for fast connectivity and less network disruption, a worldwide 5G network rollout is greatly anticipated by both users […]

Xgig Approved for PCI-SIG

VIAVI is honored to have received approval from the PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG). The PCI-SIG® is a consortium of more than 800 member companies that owns and manages PCI specifications as open industry standards.  This approval allows the VIAVI Xgig® Exerciser to be used for PCIe® Link and Transaction protocol compliance testing conducted by […]

Cable operators globally recognize that tight networks simply work better, and signal leakage is the best way to detect, find, and fix the shielding weaknesses which let undesirable upstream ingress into networks. Leakage monitoring has adapted with the evolving HFC to remain feasible and maximize effectiveness, but the migration to a 204MHz upstream with high-split networks […]

Much like 4G has opened up the possibilities of ride-sharing, remote working, and online shopping, 5G is predicted to extraordinarily alter our lifestyles – from how we live, work, and play. Although the full extent of the changes that the 5G network will bring is not fully understood, it is common knowledge that 5G will […]
