800G is becoming a talking point and it is one topic that can mean different things to different people. The main thrust today is development of 800G class pluggable modules. We are seeing the first 800G modules, both QSFP-DD800 and OSFP-800 appearing in the market. Although they carry an 800G tag they are really focused […]
Standards are now in place to bring low earth orbit (LEO) satellites into the 5G cellular network. The business dynamics of non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are challenging, leaving the question of how to commercialize LEO satellites as part of 5G and how to assure comprehensive validation of these offerings. Optimism around the potential to capitalize on […]
The transport and logistics industry established itself as an indispensable service during the COVID-19 pandemic, when access to products was limited due to movement restrictions. This has resulted in increased consumer expectations of the industry in terms of shorter delivery timeframes, more detailed forecasting, and increased access to information on delivery status. To succeed in […]
In the mid-90’s, the arrival of Internet, cable, and mobile phone services produced a charged cocktail of events that changed the communications landscape forever. Approximately 30 years on, the broadband industry looks profoundly different than it did in the early Internet dial-up days. For example, while the world’s incumbent operators are still going strong, they […]
SASE emerged in 2019 as a visionary security framework where security functions are hosted in the cloud to address security challenges resulting from the rapid transition to a remote, hybrid workforce – but not without challenges. Learn how to overcome these challenges and operationalize SASE network architectures and services running on these networks. Secure Access […]
We’ve seen the success of web-scale applications due to the power and flexibility of the cloud-native approach to software design they take. They are massively scalable, highly fault tolerant, extremely cost-effective, capable of rapidly evolving with user needs. Read about cloud-native principles and how proactive validation helps navigate the cloud-native networking journey. The cloud-native networking movement originated […]
AI OPS means using AI and Machine Learning for efficient data collection, processing, and selection, to rapidly identify and expose the most relevant information to automate and operate your Telco or IT network. Here are four reasons why you should consider AI OPS.
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 […]
