Accurate and traceable time stamps have become a financial trading imperative to protect investors and adhere to regulatory requirements. Who made what trade? When? Did it complete as intended? All simple questions. Read why ensuring accuracy of this information has become a complex business. Timing and synchronization have become top concerns for finance IT managers. […]
Pluggable optical modules are a huge success factor in modern networking equipment. An end user can buy a network element, such as a router or switch, and provision ports in a pay-as-you-grow manner. They can plug optical modules into the ports and chose the reach (from a few meters with DAC copper through to 100’s […]
Technology has developed rapidly over the past few decades, and standing atop of that development is the creation of the 5G network. This technology has surpassed its predecessor in every way imaginable, and the impact it has on industries all over the world is highly beneficial. One of the industries benefiting from this technology is […]
The undeniable efficiency, speed and near-term cost savings associated with moving 5G virtual network functions (VNFs) to the cloud makes it a potential path operators must explore. Learn why this approach is not without risks and which testing practices help overcome these challenges. For starters, it’s completely unproven. As we covered in a previous post, […]
On December 9, 2021, a highest possible-severity vulnerability was discovered, and the entire security industry is racing to fix this issue. Read about details of the impact and how we can help users protect against this latest top-rated vulnerability. This issue named Log4j vulnerability (also known as “Log4Shell”) is tracked by CVE-2021-44228 on December 10. […]
The endless potential of the 5G network is precisely what we need during these difficult times. Working remotely has become the “new normal”, but to say the experience has been smooth and seamless would be an exaggeration, as many still face issues when working from home, especially regarding connectivity. However, the 5G’s staggering prowess will […]
As module bitrates increased from 100Gbs so too did the complexity of the modules. Starting with DSP based signal conditioning and clock recovery and onwards to pluggable coherent optics, PAM-4 and CMIS. With this new level of complexity, we had to take a very different approach to module-to-pluggable optics development, debugging and validation. Specifically, the […]
The status-quo of early 2020 no longer exists for the corporate network. The pandemic threw a wrench into the architecture and network operations that businesses had relied upon. The ongoing transition has necessitated and accelerated changes for people, processes, and technologies. I recently took part in an executive roundtable with Bloor Research and members of […]
5G is introducing tight integration with satellites to expand high-speed coverage into hard-to-reach areas and support maritime applications. This presents a whole new set of challenges for satellite transceiver performance. Next-gen network deployments are ramping up around the world, but there is more to 5G than land-based New Radios and the new Packet Core. 5G […]
The ever-growing demand for higher and larger bandwidth, computing power, storage and speed capabilities in the modern age, not to mention constructing a seamless and secure cloud service, can only be fulfilled by a complete hyperscale ecosystem integrated with the 5G. This ground-breaking technology has been pushing the digital ecosystem by introducing more intelligence to […]
