VIAVI recently participated in, and was a Gold sponsor of, the High Speed Networking event held by LIGHTWAVE and the Broadband Technology Report. During the event, experts from VIAVI participated in several webcasts that are now available to stream for free. Before you view either, you will have to register (for free). Once you register, […]
VIAVI is pleased to announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named three VIAVI leaders Katy Farney, Maribel Ortiz, and Carol Ann McKeown, to the highly respected Women of the Channel list for 2021. This annual list recognizes the unique strengths, vision and achievements of female leaders in the IT channel. The […]
Network capacity planning is an ongoing process that involves continually assessing network utilization, traffic volumes, and traffic type to identify shortcomings like performance chokepoints that can affect the end-user’s experience. Without investing in capacity planning measures, organizations risk decreased employee productivity from degraded network performance, Service-Level Agreements not being met, and ultimately a poor experience […]
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 lay the groundwork for discussion of the […]
Fiber optic cables are becoming more and more important in our daily lives. They are used to transmit large amounts of information in a short period, and we strongly rely on them to maintain a reliable network connection. However, many things could potentially slow down the transmission of data, such as contaminated connectors and congested […]
If you would like a more in-depth review of what the path forward with 800G pluggable optics may look like may we suggest watching Preparing the Way for 800G: 100G Electrical and 800G Pluggable Optics. —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– The creation of the 800G ecosystem has begun. Alpha samples of 800G OSFP modules have been demonstrated and we […]
C-band and the role it plays in 5G Midband (or C-band) is considered the “waterfront property” of RF spectrum for 5G. It offers the best compromise between RF coverage and RF bandwidth. Per ITU’s minimum technical requirements to meet the IMT-2020 criteria for eMBB, at least 100 MHz of bandwidth will be required. For a […]
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 […]
