As the telecommunications industry prepares to converge Radio Access Networks (RAN) and Core networks, the need for rigorous testing in a lab environment has never been more critical. This convergence aims to position processing functions and resources closer to the user, diminishing latency and network traffic load while simultaneously boosting quality of experience. With so […]
Today’s digital landscape depends heavily on the telecommunications industry to function, with network infrastructure at its foundation. From Open RAN and disaggregation to the shift towards cloud-based solutions, we are constantly working to reinvent, reinforce and improve network architectures in pursuit of better performance and end-user experiences. At Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2024, the […]
The concept of observability or assessing the internal state of a system based on the data it produces dates back over half a century to the earliest days of computer science when algorithms based on control theory were first used to interpret system outputs. In the decades since, observability has become a key objective for […]
AI workloads are driving an unprecedented demand for low latency and high bandwidth connectivity between servers, storage, and GPUs. To successfully support AI’s rapid growth, data centers and the high-speed networks they rely on must transform intelligently along a path filled with uncertainties. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the hottest topic of the day. It screams […]
In 2023, VIAVI Solutions proudly celebrated our 100-year journey as a global leader in communications test and measurement, and optical technologies. As we embark on our 101st year and beyond, here is a window into the trends we are following in our target markets. Scale: 5G In 2023, The State of 5G from VIAVI observed a […]
Modern high-speed links for the fastest Ethernet rates of 400GbE and above use PAM-4 electrical modulation. This modulation format allows interfaces to run at the speeds required for 400GbE and above, but PAM-4 modulation is more susceptible to the impacts of noise and signal integrity. This is mitigated by the use of forward error correction […]
The story of artificial intelligence, or AI, is one that spans decades and multiple industries. AI enables a myriad of potential applications that will transform the way we live and work. In the telecommunications industry, we are already seeing AI’s impact and a future where AI enables the automation, orchestration and optimization of networks and […]
New risks are on the rise for telecom networks, Having the right security solution in place as early in the development phase as possible is required. The proactive security strategies should include a focus on the role of DevSecOps, Zero Trust, and AI/ML to address the fast-approaching challenges of the near future. Telco networks are […]
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 […]
