Pluggable coherent optics are now being developed for 400G applications with two distinct streams emerging. One is high performance CFP2 based for 1000+km reach and multi-service applications and the other is QSFP-DD ZR (and perhaps OSFP) for DCI and metro Ethernet applications. Both streams present new challenges for test and measurement, not just to meet […]
3 challenges you might face with Open RAN deployment. The deployment and management of the radio access network (RAN) is the most expensive part of network. Today, new 5G radio access networks (RANs) are being developed to support a range of new features, including multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) antennas, large spectrum bandwidths and multi-band carrier aggregation. […]
The demand for fast, flawless network connectivity continues to expand across the globe as our world becomes increasingly digitally interconnected. High-speed 4G and 5G networks provide instant access to data-intensive apps, games and videos on billions of devices across the world, while the Internet of Things (IoT) allows them to seamlessly interact with one another. […]
In a data center environment, there are several key considerations that go into whether to deploy a multimode fiber, short-wavelength or a single mode-fiber-based, long-wavelength optical network. As they continue to drive critical business processes with fiber-optic connectivity as their backbone to allow connection with link servers, storage systems, and switches, both data centers and […]
A flu pandemic swept the world from 1918 to 1920, infecting approximately a quarter of the world’s population and killing over 50 million. One hundred years later, the world is again facing the reality of a viral pandemic. But today we have accumulated a century of health and technological advances that can fortify the fight […]
After the network has been turned inside out by an event such as an unexpected increase in remote working, an organization becomes more vulnerable to successful penetration. When faced with a potentially serious threat, it is obvious that we need to take the fewest steps and spend the least amount of time possible to efficiently […]
Every day, professionals across a range of industries rely on radio communications using Land Mobile Radio (LMR) technologies, including Project 25 (P25) radio 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 […]
The Passive Optical Network (PON) is a telecommunication technology that is used to implement a point-to-multipoint architecture. In order to enable a single optical fiber, the system uses fiber optic combiners and splitters, which is then used to serve multiple end-users without the need for individual fibers between customers and the hub. The coverage range […]
The road moving forward to 5G is unpredicted for wireless networks. 5G technology has the capability to open incomparable possibilities to input creativity out into society through generating integrated infrastructure that obtains the ability to fasten buildings, transport and utilities. Along with 5G, there are significant opportunities for improvements within operations in society, including transport, […]
The new remote working “norm” has burdened organizations with many newfangled challenges. Almost every employee is working at home, starting immediately. Who saw that coming? Now IT departments, SecOps teams, and network service providers are scrambling to answer big questions: Can the network handle the surge in volume? Is the right security in place to […]
