Financial institutions have felt the dramatic impact of the new working paradigm and find it is critical for employees to use Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) whenever possible and for IT to manage them effectively. The sheer volume of high-speed financial transactions every minute means that there is a need to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability […]
The march towards 5G has been a natural evolution of cellular technology that has been happening since the invention of the telephone – however, the economic impact that 5G brings is what makes it the most significant one. It has only been just over a year since the deployment of 5G began, yet so far […]
There are various ways to which 5G mobile networks can improve the way we live – yet, they are framed as a luxury rather than a necessity. These networks produce faster speeds and lower latency that facilitates ultra-high definition video streaming, which are typically perceived as a means to enhance smartphone and gaming experience. However, […]
Fiber optic technology plays a major part in many businesses today, as most demand a faster, more secure, and larger communication system for their network operations. In the next few years, an increasing number of industries will be looking for new innovative solutions offered by fiber optics, including opportunities in the healthcare and maritime industry. […]
5G aims to provide gigabits of throughput, highly reliable low latency connections for industrial automation and other time sensitive applications. To deliver, however, 5G networks require ubiquitous and seamless 5G coverage. The big challenge is the availability and the type of RF spectrum. 5G standards, starting from release 15, support spectrums both in the sub-six […]
The deployment of the 5G network is a complex process. There are layers of complexity to it, each intertwined with the next, which makes it essential for service providers to understand the implications of every decision. Here are four main challenges that network operators will need to overcome for a successful 5G deployment. […]
This morning, VIAVI introduced two new assurance solutions – including a patented 3D geolocation feature – that give operators a view of 5G coverage and subscriber experience, allowing them to transform 5G planning and performance engineering. Combined, they deliver comprehensive visibility that allows them to attract new vertical markets and drive new revenue streams. This release […]
In an ideal world, all installations are flawless, and construction and commissioning should feel like plug-and-play with no need to test any of the network components or the cables that connect them. However, in the real world, we routinely encounter errors during installation projects, such as defective or damaged components, untrained or inexperienced installers, and […]
3 challenges you might face with Open RAN deployment. The deployment and management of the radio access network (RAN) is the most expensive part of network. Today, new 5G radio access networks (RANs) are being developed to support a range of new features, including multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) antennas, large spectrum bandwidths and multi-band carrier aggregation. […]
In a data center environment, there are several key considerations that go into whether to deploy a multimode fiber, short-wavelength or a single mode-fiber-based, long-wavelength optical network. As they continue to drive critical business processes with fiber-optic connectivity as their backbone to allow connection with link servers, storage systems, and switches, both data centers and […]
