VIAVI’s extensive portfolio of emulators can simulate every aspect of RAN networks, from purpose-built systems to 3GPP and O-RAN networks including future 6G /NTN and HetNet deployments. The RAN Scenario Generator (RSG) is a system-level RAN simulator specifically designed to validate and benchmark the emerging Open RAN ecosystem, particularly the RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), in […]
As someone who has spent 30 years immersed in the world of coatings, pigments, and color technology, I’ve witnessed the evolution of color design firsthand. My career began with a focus on color formulation and development, and became involved in coating science, and explored color trend forecasting. In 2022, I joined VIAVI Solutions where I […]
“Engineering Marvels” Support AI and High-Performance Computing Workloads Since the early days of optical modules like 300pin MSA and the first 10G XFPs, VIAVI has led innovation and applications to support the transceiver ecosystem. From module developers through validation, and vendor selection to integration – we have had the right applications and accessories to accelerate […]
Wildanet is a rural fibre network provider based in Cornwall and Devon, in the southwest of the UK. Formed in 2017, Wildanet has grown to over 100 staff and has invested £50 million to build a new network to serve areas of the county that still do not have access to fast, reliable internet connectivity. […]
1.6Tb class modules are now being developed to meet the raw bandwidth and bandwidth density demands of applications including ‘factory scale’ AI and hyperscale computing. Based on emerging standards from IEEE and OIF, they build upon a solid 800Gb ecosystem and include several new features – both evolutionary and revolutionary. 224G Signaling and FECi The […]
We now know that observability goes well beyond traditional network monitoring practices to take real-time visibility to the next level. It is worth taking a closer look at the ingredients needed to convert disparate data sources into actionable insights. With the quest for observability sometimes curtailed by network complexity, a holistic approach is essential. ho·lis·tic: […]
Bridges, tunnels, pipelines, telecom networks, electrical power transmission lines and other civil structures form the backbone of modern societies, facilitating essential services and connectivity. Ensuring the safety and integrity of these structures is of paramount importance. Thankfully, advancements in technology have led to innovative solutions for infrastructure monitoring, with fiber sensing technology emerging as a […]
Observability is all about leveraging diverse data sources, including flow, packet data, and metrics, to better understand what is happening inside the network, and what is likely to happen in the future. Therefore, it would not be surprising if more monitoring tools equated to more data and enhanced network observability, but that is not always […]
Observability is defined in mathematical terms as the ability to measure the internal state of a system based on only external information. On the other hand, monitoring is defined as a passive data collection process used to measure performance against predefined standards. In other words, network observability practices tend to be proactive, while monitoring tends […]
Participating in its eighth consecutive O-RAN Alliance Global PlugFest, VIAVI once again contributed its comprehensive Open RAN testing suite and expertise to validate new products, specifications and use cases at nine labs across six countries. These PlugFests represent important, practical steps in developing the building blocks that will transform the network’s future. Radio testing is […]
