5G cloud, let’s demystify it What do we mean by the cloud? What are the different types of cloud environments? What parts of a telco business and network can be moved to the cloud today, and what are the possibilities for the future? VIAVI demystifies the cloud… In part I of our two-part blog, we […]
5G cloud, let’s demystify it: Part I What do we mean by the cloud? What are the different types of cloud environments? What parts of a telco business and network can be moved to the cloud today, and what are the possibilities for the future? VIAVI demystifies the cloud… Q: What links an online bookseller, […]
Advanced Upstream Blog Series Introduction In the Advanced Upstream blog series we will explore how cable operators have traditionally managed upstream bandwidth capacity planning, how market dynamics and technical innovation are driving changes, and where things are likely headed in the coming years. In this entry we will discuss the “More Bits/Hz” approach – or how […]
With the rollout of 5G, synchronization in carrier networks is becoming even more critical. Mobile cellular networks need to be synchronized to avoid base stations with shared coverage interfering and disrupting each other, leading to declining network quality for customers. Throughout the Third Generation (3G) cellular communications, the NodeBs relied on satellite communications for synchronization, […]
VIAVI is honored to have received approval from the PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG). The PCI-SIG® is a consortium of more than 800 member companies that owns and manages PCI specifications as open industry standards. This approval allows the VIAVI Xgig® Exerciser to be used for PCIe® Link and Transaction protocol compliance testing conducted by […]
Cable operators globally recognize that tight networks simply work better, and signal leakage is the best way to detect, find, and fix the shielding weaknesses which let undesirable upstream ingress into networks. Leakage monitoring has adapted with the evolving HFC to remain feasible and maximize effectiveness, but the migration to a 204MHz upstream with high-split networks […]
Network observability is more than just the capture of wire data. True network observability means understanding the how and why of network performance in support of business goals – all while delivering the right data as actionable metrics. In the recent VIAVI Perspectives blog, 5 Steps to Network Observability Checklist, the critical and actionable network […]
Much like 4G has opened up the possibilities of ride-sharing, remote working, and online shopping, 5G is predicted to extraordinarily alter our lifestyles – from how we live, work, and play. Although the full extent of the changes that the 5G network will bring is not fully understood, it is common knowledge that 5G will […]
Private 5G networks and the factories of the future Picture the scene… A self-driven lorry parks up at a loading bay at a car manufacturing plant, expertly guided into place by sensors. A forklift truck wheels itself into place and a mechanized arm lifts pallets from the lorry. Goods are extracted, weighed and scanned – […]
To keep up with the complex, hybrid networks of today, organizations must have a comprehensive network observability platform that embraces wire data, enriched and enhanced flow, and cloud sources to ensure optimal application delivery to stakeholders. That digital innovation requires a reliable and secure network foundation to deliver its promise – starting with basic observability. […]
