The world is going mobile and we’re consuming more data every year, particularly as the popularity of video and music streaming increases, and that’s just from humans. Machines and devices are increasingly acting as consumers of Internet bandwidth and generating even more traffic on the network. Consequently, the industry is in the throes of implementing […]
As 5G moves from a concept in the lab to a commercial field-deployable solution, network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) are working hard to ensure 5G delivers on its promise of gigabit throughput, massive machine type communication and ultra-reliable low latency communications. Time-to-market and conformance to 3GPP specs are key to their success and in achieving the […]
The impact of IoT, hybrid IT and decentralized networks is dominating conversations and column inches. Topics range from how to manage and investigate security and performance issues to the effect on user experience and interaction. In response, vendors and analysts have muddied the waters with phrases such as artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, rather than […]
5G is and will be transformational – not only in terms of the network but also in terms of what the technology enables and the resulting business opportunities. As Sameh Yamany, our CTO describes in his Forbes article When 5G Hype Becomes Reality, 5G is not simply “4G on steroids”. It’s not just about more […]
Over the past several months, we have been taking a closer look at Multi-Fiber MPO connectors and how the continued growth of this technology is changing the dynamic for contractors. As data centers are rapidly scaling up their networks to support 40G and 100G speeds, multi-fiber MPO connectors are being used throughout the network architectures. […]

5G will be an innovation platform that will provide the ability to bring new services to market quickly with use cases that will allow ultra-fast mobile broadband, mission critical communication, massive device connectivity, and ultra-low latency. How networks and their different components will evolve will be nothing short of a revolution; we will see network […]
Fiber Deployment is on the rise (no shock there). How do you transfer need-it-now, real experience to a new (and inexperienced) fiber tech? There are any number of things that you can point to to demonstrate what is driving growth in fiber deployment including regional FTTH/PON initiatives, national high-speed broadband growth, core 100/200G upgrades, or […]
With application workloads moving to the cloud, how do IT teams relying on traditional performance metrics gain accurate insight into user experience in these new hybrid IT environments? Network and application performance monitoring have become the de facto standard for meeting service delivery expectations for enterprise IT. But if IT operations personnel aren’t seeing the […]
Considering the art of troubleshooting end-user experience, it can be a similar process to constructing a mosaic. When a user complaint call comes in, it’s up to the IT engineer to gather clues, metrics, and data points around the user issue to form a complete picture of what occurred. Relying upon multiple tools reporting different […]
