The recent events have led to the mass adoption of remote work, which permanently changes the way we perceive our digital environments. This has placed a unique challenge on fiber networks – as such, network service activation and operation are becoming ever more complex. To be more effective and time-efficient, technicians need to learn various […]
Learn about timing and synchronization considerations for 5G Open RAN Networks to deliver the full range of enhanced capabilities available with 5G New Radio. It is impossible to ignore the current waves in the telecoms industry caused by the emergence of Open RAN. An ever-increasing number of major telecoms operators and vendors are moving to […]
Known to some as “The Wild West of SD-WAN,” we have identified a set of best practices to tame the complexity of SD-WAN. Learn the essentials of managing SD-WAN complexity with a comprehensive test and validation strategy. Because of its policy-based forwarding, inherent security and centralized management, SD-WAN (software-defined wide-area network) is viewed by many […]
Virtual environments have been critical for many of us over the past year. The office as a physical space – not just for employees but a place to host servers and hardware – is diminishing in importance. Employees have been able to access applications and collaborative working tools wherever they’ve been working, reducing our […]
Telecommunication networks play an integral part in facilitating the operations of a wider global market. As such, they are expected to handle large loads of bandwidth at a rapid pace, while maintaining data integrity. Ensuring that the software provided by telecoms companies works flawlessly is of paramount importance. One way to do so is by […]
After careful consideration, VIAVI has chosen to cancel plans to participate in this year’s MWC Barcelona event based on our assessment of the expected state of the Covid-19 pandemic across Europe this summer. While we do appreciate the precautionary measures put into place by the GSMA, our utmost priority is to protect the health and well-being […]
Turbulent – the word most people use to describe the last 12 months. The nicely protected corporate networks have been turned inside-out by the effects of the global pandemic. Unplanned, universal remote working has put every employee outside of the trusted network perimeter, including the IT team, creating a host of new challenges – and […]
In order to keep pace with the ever-increasing user expectations for instant access to information, operators need the agility to scale on demand, make changes quickly, and launch innovative products and services as required. As such, network operators are leading the path to an open architecture like Open RAN for its ability to provide a […]
Perfectly blending powders and granules can be a significant process engineering challenge. Achieving a uniform blend depends on many variables: the right amounts of the right ingredients; the right particle sizes, moisture content, and temperature; the right process parameters like blender fill fraction, rotation rate, and blend time; and many other product-specific variables. Blending processes […]
One of the great challenges facing data communications is matching the silicon bandwidth with the face plate density. Today, switch silicon can process over 12 Tb/s. But getting this off the front panel at a reasonable density is a challenge. One direction is to move to faster Ethernet speeds. A great example of this is […]
