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 […]
With the rollout of 5G, synchronization in carrier networks is becoming even more critical. Mobile cellular networks need to be synchronized to avoid base stations with shared coverage interfering and disrupting each other, leading to declining network quality for customers. Throughout the Third Generation (3G) cellular communications, the NodeBs relied on satellite communications for synchronization, […]
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 […]
Private 5G networks and the factories of the future Picture the scene… A self-driven lorry parks up at a loading bay at a car manufacturing plant, expertly guided into place by sensors. A forklift truck wheels itself into place and a mechanized arm lifts pallets from the lorry. Goods are extracted, weighed and scanned – […]
As high-bandwidth requirements continue to rise over the last few years, multiple system operators (MSOs) transform their hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) networks. Available architectures, such as DOCSIS 3.1 and Remote PHY, rely on fiber-based bandwidth deep into the cable television (CATV) network, which is why countless operators aim to create Node+0 architectures via “fiber deep” initiatives. […]
The fourth industrial revolution, also called Industry 4.0, is blending computing power with machine and sensor technologies. As the fastest and most reliable connectivity enabler, 5G will deliver an array of innovative use cases to increase factory capabilities and boost agility, freeing operations from wire dependency. 5G is helping us speed toward a reality […]
Edge computing is a recent development in which the data is processed locally at the edge of the network, making it closer to users and devices, which then reduces the latency. To grasp how edge computing can complement the 5G network infrastructure, an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms of edge computing is valuable. Two […]
There has been no doubt that fiber networks ensure the viability of smart-device applications, video streaming, and business requirements. However, with a demand increase, it only makes sense for service providers to continue striving for improvements in broadband access networks, which will require several tests on different network parameters, namely insertion loss, distance, and optical […]
