This is the third article in our three-part series on 5G synchronization. The first article focused on the transport layer’s crucial role in 5G synchronization, highlighting the importance of technologies such as GNSS, PTP and SyncE in ensuring precise timing and reducing latency across sprawling networks. It also discussed the implementation challenges and the need […]
In cybersecurity, quantum computing presents both exciting new possibilities and threats to data confidentiality, integrity and security. While it promises unparalleled computational power, it also poses a significant risk to current encryption methods, which rely on mathematical problems that could be solved on a quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm. As quantum computing advances, the urgency […]
As we continue our exploration of 5G synchronization in this second installment of our series, we shift our attention to the importance of synchronization in the radio access. The global rollout of 5G NR, predominantly employing TDD technology, underscores the necessity for all radios within a network to transmit in sync. This synchronization is crucial […]
VIAVI has spent decades testing Ethernet as a service, fueling its leadership position in testing modules, cables, and Ethernet ICs at the PHY layer. We also have products that cover the full stack to L7, offering breadth and depth of coverage. A few years ago, we determined current products on the market for high-scale Ethernet […]
Reinforcing the Pillars of Observability The Greek Parthenon is known for the seventeen distinctive marble pillars enveloping the structure. These sturdy columns have remained intact despite over two thousand years of earthquakes, war, looting, and fire. With a slightly less auspicious origin story, the three pillars of observability (logs, metrics, and traces) continue to serve […]
The need for precision in networks, particularly those that support critical infrastructure, has never been more acute. Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) services have become indispensable, enabling precise synchronization and coordination across various sectors such as telecommunication, transportation, energy and finance. At its core, PNT relies on signals from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) like […]
The new frontier of ubiquitous and resilient cellular coverage lies beyond the boundaries of the Earth: Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), or wireless communication systems that operate in space, are expected to provide larger coverage and resilience, and enable applications requiring always-on connectivity such as IoT and autonomous driving. Whether it’s connecting regions experiencing natural disaster, assisting […]
