‍Dark fiber is the term used for an optical fiber cable that has been laid but is not in use. In standard fiber cables, light pulses are used to send information, these cables are referred to as ‘dark’ when they are not in use as there are no light pulses being transmitted through them. There […]

5G technology offers capabilities such as Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) and ultra-reliable low latency communication (uRLLC) that are well-suited for business-critical applications. The aviation industry is expected to invest heavily in 5G technology, with projections of reaching $3.9 billion by 2026. 5G has the potential to revolutionize the entire aviation […]

Over-the-air Interference

One of the top reasons end-users switch carriers is dissatisfaction with network performance, which could be spotty coverage, dropped calls, or slow data speed. Knowing this, many mobile operators focus on minimizing any signals that impede the over-the-air connection between their end-users’ devices and their radio towers– a killer of network performance. For mobile operators, […]

Are your standards high enough to ensure quality fiber builds? In the previous blog we saw that bi-directional (bi-dir) OTDR testing provides a number of advantages and lets you deal with issues arising from differences between fibers being spliced together (specifically difference in Modal Field Diameter – MFD) that result in false positives or false […]

Well, let’s start with why test at all? With all the time, effort, and money (particularly the money) put into the deployment of dark fiber or construction of fiber networks, owners and investors want to make sure they are getting good quality fiber links out of these projects. Everyone knows that some form of testing […]

The rollout of 5G is much anticipated, with end-users already planning how to apply the quicker speeds and lower latency of 5G services and applications to their benefit. 5G technology is more than the latest update to existing communications, and as such, requires significant infrastructure and connectivity changes. In order to ensure 5G can provide […]

The deployment of 5G networks will enable new advanced forms of data transmission that have never been possible previously, changing the way we communicate both personally and professionally. Businesses across all industries will benefit from the quicker data speeds that 5G technology will enable, however, it will have the biggest impact on industries that rely […]
