In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, high-speed connectivity is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity. With the increasing demand for faster and more reliable network services, service providers and fiber infrastructure providers are increasingly turning to remote fiber test systems (RFTS) to guarantee fiber infrastructure availability, reduce fiber network outages, and improve service delivery. These […]
In today’s data-driven world, the transfer and protection of sensitive information is paramount. Companies, financial institutions, governments, and individuals rely heavily on secure data communication to maintain confidentiality, personal information, banking information, and to safeguard intellectual property. Data transits around the world through a very complex network of interconnected infrastructure. Most of the the world’s […]
As we know, fiber optic cables are now the backbone of modern communication networks, offering unmatched bandwidth and reliability. But just like any other technology these cables are susceptible to degradation over time. As cables age, network owners and operators encounter several challenges that can impact the overall health and performance of their networks. One […]
Network security architectures are changing. We’ll examine an emerging new architecture called Zero Trust Network Access and how it helps ensure data safety and integrity and enables the transformation from a static, data-centric approach to a more dynamic, policy-based one. You’ll learn about the benefits of the Zero Trust approach and related validation solutions. Typical […]

Passive optical networks (PON) have revolutionized high-speed internet connectivity by providing efficient fiber-based broadband services. To ensure the quality and performance of these networks, a robust certification process is essential. In this blog, we will explore a new centralized test approach to certifying the construction of passive optical networks and look at the kinds of […]
In the fast-paced world of telecommunications, the transition from 4G to 5G has brought about a host of changes, with both persistent challenges and emerging issues. In this blog post, we discuss the complexities of interference in 5G networks, exploring a combination of old and new problems that network operators and technicians face. Old Problems, […]
Realism in traffic patterns paired with modern KPI measurements are critical for testing and assessing network scale. Learn about testing strategies for implementing this in practice by measuring the true scalability and effects on the device or network under test. To test with highly realistic traffic patterns, we need to step back and focus on […]
In today’s data-driven world, high-speed data transfers and reliable connectivity are critical to the success of every data center. As data rates continue to rise, it is vital to ensure the integrity of data transmission across networks. Essential components in that data transfer within a rack, from rack-to-rack, or from network-to-network are AOC/DAC/AEC cables (Active […]
To gain better insights into the viewpoints of our network service provider customers, VIAVI partnered with Heavy Reading on their second iteration of the Open, Automated & Programmable Transport Networks Market Leadership Survey (along with Infinera and Fujitsu). The 2023 survey attracted a range of qualified network operator or communications service provider (CSP) responses from […]
