The chip industry is virtualizing, replacing hardware solutions with more flexible software. Understand why and how virtual Electronic Design Automation (EDA) emulation and testing speeds up the design process on a technical level. Network equipment and semiconductor manufacturers are in the hot seat with pressure to deliver on outsized capacity demands. They don’t just have […]
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 Nodes” approach – how […]
Pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation are complex processes that require comprehensive testing to accelerate delivery, achieve efficiency and promote significant cost savings. Read why we are engaging key stakeholders to make end-to-end silicon testing, support, and services a vital necessity. 800G is becoming a reality. While broad adoption is still on the horizon, meeting time-to-market […]
In an increasingly digital world where every pillar of information is now online, lightning-fast connectivity, rock-solid reliability, and impenetrable security are transforming into essentials within the network industry. 5G transforms the connected ecosystem and pushes the boundaries of connectivity to lay the foundation of a faster, more secure, and sustainable future. For years, if […]
Secure Access Secure Edge (SASE) represents an evolutionary step for SD-WAN vendors to enhance SD-WAN security in the multi-cloud environment. Learn why a comprehensive test and validation strategy is essential to manage SD-WAN security effectively. SD-WANs are commonly virtualized and rely heavily on the public Internet, along with a range of private WAN connections. Managing […]
Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) will showcase this week a range of products engineered to simplify and accelerate high-speed network test across all phases of the network lifecycle including development and system verification, manufacturing, turn up and installation, and troubleshooting and monitoring. The new products highlight the VIAVI presence at OFC 2021, taking place virtually from June […]
RAN Intelligent Controller At the O-RAN Alliance Plugfest at the end of last year, VIAVI, alongside partners AT&T, Samsung and Nokia, demonstrated an end-to-end traffic steering use case based on a number of open source components. One of these was the near real-time RAN Intelligent Controller platform, or RIC. Central to the demo was VIAVI’s […]
Understanding RAN The RAN (Radio Access Network) architecture for mobile networks includes a remote radio unit (RRU) located at the top of a cell tower, which communicates with a baseband unit (BBU) at the base of the tower. The hardware and communication interfaces are owned by a specific vendor, and its software-driven functionality is tightly […]
Benchmarking O-RAN performance O-RAN was big news last year, and a recent announcement from the O-RAN Alliance – one of the main bodies encouraging open RAN innovation, highlights the importance of benchmarking and testing in helping operators and others develop and get value from Open RAN deployments. Recently, the O-RAN Alliance launched a Minimal Viable […]
By combining SASE and Zero Trust, you can consistently apply and enforce security performance policies across your entire network—and give consumers the security and performance they expect. Gartner coined the term “SASE” (Secure Access Service Edge) less than two years ago, before anyone had heard of “COVID-19.” At that time, Gartner described SASE as a […]
