Are your standards high enough to ensure quality fiber builds? In the previous blog we saw that bi-directional (bi-dir) OTDR testing provides a number of advantages and lets you deal with issues arising from differences between fibers being spliced together (specifically difference in Modal Field Diameter – MFD) that result in false positives or false […]
Well, let’s start with why test at all? With all the time, effort, and money (particularly the money) put into the deployment of dark fiber or construction of fiber networks, owners and investors want to make sure they are getting good quality fiber links out of these projects. Everyone knows that some form of testing […]
The rollout of 5G is much anticipated, with end-users already planning how to apply the quicker speeds and lower latency of 5G services and applications to their benefit. 5G technology is more than the latest update to existing communications, and as such, requires significant infrastructure and connectivity changes. In order to ensure 5G can provide […]
5G radio is more challenging to evaluate than previous cellular technologies and devices must be tested under potential usage conditions. Learn how Advanced Channel Modeling (ACM) software gives developers an easy-to-use graphical user interface for creating realistic use cases. 5G is here—and with more products being developed and released to consumers at a record pace, […]
The deployment of 5G networks will enable new advanced forms of data transmission that have never been possible previously, changing the way we communicate both personally and professionally. Businesses across all industries will benefit from the quicker data speeds that 5G technology will enable, however, it will have the biggest impact on industries that rely […]
VIAVI Solutions is right at home at the cutting edge of new telecom technology, whether it’s O-RAN, 6G or non-terrestrial radio networks. Innovations like these aren’t easy, and we’re here to work alongside other leaders in the Telco space to test new solutions, optimize performance, ensure conformance, or help develop new standards. With this in […]
The automobile sector is developing at pace, with autonomous vehicles becoming a primary priority for many manufacturers in the industry. Car manufacturers in the autonomous vehicle space are partnering with telecommunications providers to access the advanced technologies necessary to get these innovative vehicles on the market. 5G technology is the leading technology to power driverless […]
SASE: We are presently witnessing a dramatic transformation of enterprise networking and its associated security environment. This sea change is being driven by major and ongoing ‘cloudification’ of business and workplace activities. Businesses are moving from on-premise solutions to hybrid and public cloud solutions, and managed networks. Adding to this complexity is the growing use […]
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 […]
