Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past year, you’ve likely been unable to get away from chatter about the 10th anniversary of the iPhone this month. There’s also plenty of speculation about the revolutionary new features of that milestone device. Here’s a bold prediction: the final announcement is going to be anticlimactic. […]
Migrating to G.fast is the most economical way to bring Gigabit speeds to customers because the existing copper or coax infrastructure is reused between the DPU to the customer’s client. This avoids rewiring for the last 250 to 300 meters. All segments of the hybrid network: fiber, copper line, interior twisted pair or coax wiring, […]
The technology in a radio tower is undergoing dramatic change, which is presenting tough real-world challenges for the crews that carry out the installation work. Riggers, or tower climbers as they’re better known in the US, are finding that as networks become more complex, their role is becoming increasingly difficult. As technicians, riggers perform […]
Migrating to DOCSIS 3.1 doesn’t have to be complicated. With these five points, you can become an expert in no time! OFDM building blocks are the key to optimal performance, reliability, and quality of experience for the customer: • Test the OFDM signal quality, including levels and level variation, MER, and ingress/noise under the carrier. […]
Everyone’s talking about 5G. Industries as diverse as healthcare, agriculture, automotive, broadcast, utilities and public safety – to name but a few – have all been strategizing how they can use the new connectivity standard to drive efficiencies, improve business and enhance the end-user experience.

The Tolly Group reveals key performance benchmarks as high-speed networks underscore need for greater integrity in network monitoring. In today’s networks where 40 Gb links are becoming more and more common, simply “capturing” network data is half the battle. It must also be effectively analyzed to provide actionable insights. The caveat is that network performance monitoring insights […]
Another day, another cyberattack. Just as companies were recovering after the WannaCry attack, a number of organizations were hit by Petya… or NotPetya. Name it as you see fit. In a matter of just two months, two devastating ransomware attacks have crippled networks globally. Clearly, security threats are multiplying in intensity and complexity. But what […]
