Reducing TCO and optimizing energy use in next generation RAN demands a superior level of network intelligence. Operators are increasingly concerned about rising energy costs. Additionally, they need to lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and ensure a positive return on investment (ROI) for their network upgrades amid growing competition and stagnant subscriber growth. 5G […]
When innovation can’t slow down but safety is on the line, how do automotive manufacturers, device suppliers, and mobile network operators ensure these complex systems work as expected? Or conform to standards? This blog reveals how they can assure application performance and accelerate time-to-market. Use cases for V2X (vehicle-to-everything) communications are emerging as key differentiators […]
Pluggable coherent optics really hit mainstream in 2022 and a big part of that was the multi-vendor ZR interop at the OIF booth at OFC 2022. It was great to be involved in this public event as we have been involved in the background for many years supporting the pluggable coherent ecosystem from the earliest […]
Financial institutions rely on their digital infrastructure for conducting financial transactions and providing services to their customers; it’s important to ensure their networks are secure, reliable, and perform as planned to their specific needs. Financial institutions must have a strong and comprehensive assessment and validation strategy to maintain security, performance, and access in current architectures, […]
Transformative technologies such as edge computing, 5G, and mobile clouds are enabling bold and exciting new business models. Industry 4.0, autonomous vehicles, and remote medicine are just a few examples of the advances these technologies offer. Open RAN (O-RAN) is a key foundational framework poised to facilitate this revolution, allowing for rapid and widespread innovation […]
Technology is not disposable. Yet broken products or those that we deem obsolete to us are often discarded, and that’s bad for the environment. The scarce resources and energy used to produce the item is lost. If the product was passed on to someone else to use or, if unfixable, it was harvested for parts, […]
The proliferation of mobile devices and increasing demand for data usage has resulted in a large-scale expansion of wireless cellular networks. Operators need more and more cells to handle the increasing demand, but, it is hard to scale the infrastructure for mobile services in real time. You can’t build a new cell tower overnight therefore […]
A number of countries including China, the US, the UK, Spain, The Philippines and South Korea have already rolled out 5G in their cities. In the next few years, 5G is predicted to be available in almost every part of the developed world. There are high expectations of 5G performance from professionals and individuals who are anticipating […]
As in other areas of a project that involves the deployment of high-fiber-count cables, the tasks of process control, job allocation to techs/contractors, and progress tracking can become unwieldy, cumbersome, and unmanageable in terms of the time and effort required. Just like the testing and certifying of the individual fibers and managing the volume of […]
Unprecedented demand for fiber links and capacity are driving the deployment of high-fiber-count cables with hundreds or even thousands of fibers. These cables are being deployed by dark fiber providers as well as in traditional telecommunication networks to provide data center interconnections, metro connectivity between central offices, access network in support of FTTH, and edge […]
