In late 2024, the telecommunications industry was rocked by one of the most sophisticated cyber espionage campaigns in recent memory. The Salt Typhoon attack infiltrated at least eight major U.S. telecom providers, including AT&T, Verizon, Lumen, and others. The attacks compromise devices like routers, switches and firewalls, gaining undetected access to sensitive communications, including those of government […]
Ultra Ethernet is here. With UE 1.0 released, the focus shifts to testing and compliance. Learn how the first public UET test and evolving assurance approaches are enabling performance, interoperability, future-ready infrastructure for AI and HPC networks. After intense and dedicated work, the Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC) has released its highly anticipated UE Specification 1.0 to meet workload requirements […]
In the rapidly evolving world of AI data centers, VIAVI Solutions is at the forefront with its innovative enhancements to the MAP testing platform. One standout feature is Enhanced Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR), a software addition to the PCT infrastructure that simplifies and accelerates fiber optic testing. What is Enhanced TDR?

On August 1, 2025, VIAVI attended the grand opening of the Open RAN Laboratory at the University of the Philippines (UP), the first VALOR satellite lab based in the Philippines. The ORAN Lab at UP is based on the VIAVI Automated Lab-as-a-Service for Open RAN (VALOR™) and is funded by the US government in collaboration with UP Diliman […]
For decades, mobile network operators have been constrained by a tightly integrated vendor ecosystem, with limited choice, flexibility, and innovation. Open RAN (Radio Access Network) is fundamentally reshaping this paradigm. By decoupling hardware and software and promoting open interfaces, Open RAN empowers operators with greater control, agility, and the ability to foster a more competitive […]
I had the opportunity to attend the ETSI Quantum Safe Cryptography Conference in Madrid recently, a gathering that brought together global leaders in cryptography, telecom, finance, and cloud to discuss the path to a quantum-safe future. The event was rich with technical insights, but more importantly, I had the chance to connect with key stakeholders […]
Land mobile radio (LMR) technologies, which provide public safety radio access, play a vital role in our lives. They enable emergency services to coordinate incidents, access critical data, and ensure personnel safety through reliable voice and data communications. In the United States, the P25 (Project 25) standard is used for public safety communications. P25 supports […]
Digital twins — virtual models of physical systems like 6G, NTN, and 5G — make it possible to simulate, analyze, and optimize all network systems and components, including their non-terrestrial elements. This is especially useful for accelerating rollouts and identifying bottlenecks and drawbacks before they become real problems. In this two-part blog series, we will […]
