Every day, professionals across a range of industries rely on radio communications using Land Mobile Radio (LMR) technologies, including digital mobile radio (DMR) systems. Whether a routine communication or a mission-critical emergency call, each transmission requires reliable and resilient technology. Radio test solutions play a critical role in ensuring that reliability and performance. Today, VIAVI […]
Tag – You’re It! Signal Tags and Their Use in Cable Signal Leakage Detection Cable signal leakage technologies have been around for more than three decades, and while the underlying concept of detecting CATV signals leaking out of the network has not changed, the technologies to accomplish this have changed considerably. Shortly after the first […]
With the arrival of 5G already occurring in select countries and the anticipated launch expected to happen in most within 2020, the need for telecom engineers to be skilled and trained within all aspects of 5G is evident. In order to achieve set targets and for the roll-out of 5G to be deemed successful, telecom […]
Change Ahead – How Network Maintenance Practices Are Evolving With The Rapidly-Changing HFC The recent pace of change in HFC networks has been dizzying compared to our previous gradual evolutionary path, but fortunately plant maintenance practices including plant leakage detection have evolved to stay ahead of the curve. The rapid expansion of FTTH offerings combined […]
The promise of 5G deployment has transitioned from the drawing board to reality as the 5th generation of wireless technology, planned and developed for nearly a decade now, begins limited service. The race is on to secure global 5G leadership due to the number of competitive advantages that are set to follow in tow. With […]
5G has been lauded as the next big technology innovation and rightfully so, too. With the capacity to download a HD movie in a second compared to the 10 minutes it takes for its 4G and LTE counterparts, there’s a lot riding on its growing prevalence. The conversation around 5G also means other digitally-driven innovations […]
According to studies found in the 2019 GSMA Mobile Economy Report, the Asia Pacific region is set to become the world’s largest 5G region by 2025. The groundbreaking 5G markets which are set to take the lead within the region include Singapore, Australia, China, Japan and South Korea. China and South Korea have been the […]
Although 5G is still in its early stage, it isn’t anything esoteric, even if you may not consider yourself a digital-first company. With 5G set to become the impetus of forward-thinking organizations, Singapore is taking the lead with its deployment. The nation’s mobile network operators (MNOs) are currently racing in a bid to become one […]
