Satellite broadband products and services are expected to generate over $200 billion in annual service revenue by 2030, serving more than 350 million direct satellite-to-device subscribers. New Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems will provide connectivity where none exists, supporting the underserved and remote use cases. This brings new challenges of complexity that must be […]
In their latest revision (September 2022), the Telecom Industry Association (TIA) added MPO test requirements and procedures to their optical fiber cabling component standard, ANSI/TIA-568.3-E. The revision adds MPO-specific requirements referencing TIA-526-28. TIA-526-28 is an adoption of IEC 61280-4-5 and deals with attenuation measurement of MPO-terminated fiber optic cabling plant using test equipment with MPO […]
The deployment of open-RAN is a much-discussed topic in the telecommunications industry, generating controversial opinions on both sides of the discussion. Open-RAN advocates are focused on the potential of the technology to empower telecommunications providers as it prevents vendor lock-in and allows for an operator or system integrator to create first-class network components through the use of […]
What is the NTIA 5G Challenge? NTIA’s Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) hosts the NTIA 5G Challenge in collaboration with the Department of Defense (DoD) to accelerate the adoption of open interfaces, interoperable components, and multi-vendor solutions. The 5G Challenge Preliminary Event: RAN Subsystem Interoperability comprises the first of two 5G Challenge competitions. In this first-year […]
While Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have been around for years, they have not yet entered the mainstream. However, the increasing development and deployment of 5G and edge computing is paving the way for wide-scale adoption of AR & VR through providing solutions to overcome the challenges traditionally faced by the technologies. […]
The significant momentum behind cloud adoption ignited by business imperatives and opportunities is apparent to industry leaders and organizations. Learn how proactive performance and security assessment can help with implementing cloud-first strategies.

The latest GSMA Mobile Economy Report predicted the number of global 5G connections to tip 1 billion by the end of 2022 and double to 2 billion by 2025 – at which point, 5G will account for a quarter of all mobile connections globally. The demand for 5G has been stronger than expected in […]
Though we live in an increasingly wireless world, that connectivity depends on wires under the ocean. Subsea or submarine cables are fiber optic cables that connect countries across the world via cables laid on the ocean floor. These cables – often thousands of miles in length – are able to transmit huge amounts of data […]
Enterprise security management was never easy. But now a confluence of new realities is making it harder than ever to keep a step ahead of bad actors. Learn about the latest community efforts to level the security testing playing field. The office perimeter now knows no bounds, stretching to couches and coffee shops as workers […]
Most of the hype around 5G technology has so far focused on benefits to the consumer, such as almost instantaneous movie download, or powering the Internet of Things at home. However, there is a range of positive workplace impacts, too – namely greater efficiencies through increased speeds and more data. 5G technology will impact various […]
