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 […]

The automobile sector is developing at pace, with autonomous vehicles becoming a primary priority for many manufacturers in the industry. Car manufacturers in the autonomous vehicle space are partnering with telecommunications providers to access the advanced technologies necessary to get these innovative vehicles on the market. 5G technology is the leading technology to power driverless […]
SASE: We are presently witnessing a dramatic transformation of enterprise networking and its associated security environment. This sea change is being driven by major and ongoing ‘cloudification’ of business and workplace activities. Businesses are moving from on-premise solutions to hybrid and public cloud solutions, and managed networks. Adding to this complexity is the growing use […]
800G is becoming a talking point and it is one topic that can mean different things to different people. The main thrust today is development of 800G class pluggable modules. We are seeing the first 800G modules, both QSFP-DD800 and OSFP-800 appearing in the market. Although they carry an 800G tag they are really focused […]
The transport and logistics industry established itself as an indispensable service during the COVID-19 pandemic, when access to products was limited due to movement restrictions. This has resulted in increased consumer expectations of the industry in terms of shorter delivery timeframes, more detailed forecasting, and increased access to information on delivery status. To succeed in […]
In the mid-90’s, the arrival of Internet, cable, and mobile phone services produced a charged cocktail of events that changed the communications landscape forever. Approximately 30 years on, the broadband industry looks profoundly different than it did in the early Internet dial-up days. For example, while the world’s incumbent operators are still going strong, they […]
