Much like 4G has opened up the possibilities of ride-sharing, remote working, and online shopping, 5G is predicted to extraordinarily alter our lifestyles – from how we live, work, and play. Although the full extent of the changes that the 5G network will bring is not fully understood, it is common knowledge that 5G will […]
C-V2X introduces an entirely new dynamic with mission critical performance demanded from devices that are constantly moving, including between networks. Read how to design C-V2X testing strategies that will reduce time-to-market while delivering high-quality products. The promise of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications is to transform transportation. Improved safety? Better traffic efficiency? Cleaner environments? Expectations are high. […]
Private 5G networks and the factories of the future Picture the scene… A self-driven lorry parks up at a loading bay at a car manufacturing plant, expertly guided into place by sensors. A forklift truck wheels itself into place and a mechanized arm lifts pallets from the lorry. Goods are extracted, weighed and scanned – […]
As high-bandwidth requirements continue to rise over the last few years, multiple system operators (MSOs) transform their hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) networks. Available architectures, such as DOCSIS 3.1 and Remote PHY, rely on fiber-based bandwidth deep into the cable television (CATV) network, which is why countless operators aim to create Node+0 architectures via “fiber deep” initiatives. […]
The fourth industrial revolution, also called Industry 4.0, is blending computing power with machine and sensor technologies. As the fastest and most reliable connectivity enabler, 5G will deliver an array of innovative use cases to increase factory capabilities and boost agility, freeing operations from wire dependency. 5G is helping us speed toward a reality […]
Pandemics have historically been part of human existence, as they can be found as early as 430 B.C. The flu pandemic, which occurred between 1918 and 1920, infected a quarter of the worldwide population and killed 50 million people. Fast forward to today, the human race needs to once again fight with another pandemic that […]
Timing synchronization within and across datacenters is the lynchpin of 5G data integrity. Operators need to ensure the time difference between any two datacenter servers is accurate within 100 microseconds. Read about ways of avoiding inaccurate timestamps and meet regulatory requirements. We previously explored why this has been so difficult for datacenter operators, especially in comparison to […]
For mission-critical Industry 4.0 applications, even the smallest downtime is an absolute no-go. Learn how 5G and TSN systems work together to provide end-to-end seamless redundancy to increase the overall system availability and reliability. The new 5G system has been designed from the ground up, with many different verticals in mind, not just the enhanced […]
Edge computing is a recent development in which the data is processed locally at the edge of the network, making it closer to users and devices, which then reduces the latency. To grasp how edge computing can complement the 5G network infrastructure, an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms of edge computing is valuable. Two […]
Synchronization testing of servers in a lab environment will not necessarily reflect the actual results in the field. Read why verifying synchronization in the live, working network is the only way to assure timing accuracy and performance. Obstacles to achieving 5G’s promised performance lurk around every corner. Let’s face it, distributed and disaggregated architectures that […]
