Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) is a significant driver in the future of the networking industry. Traditional networking infrastructure struggles to keep pace with the performance, speed and capacity requirements of AI/ML applications. To address this challenge, there has been a push towards higher-speed 800G optical transceivers and the emergence of 1.6Tb/s, alongside […]
Transformative technologies such as edge computing, 5G, and mobile clouds are enabling bold and exciting new business models. Industry 4.0, autonomous vehicles, and remote medicine are just a few examples of the advances these technologies offer. Open RAN (O-RAN) is a key foundational framework poised to facilitate this revolution, allowing for rapid and widespread innovation […]
A number of countries including China, the US, the UK, Spain, The Philippines and South Korea have already rolled out 5G in their cities. In the next few years, 5G is predicted to be available in almost every part of the developed world. There are high expectations of 5G performance from professionals and individuals who are anticipating […]
Healthcare systems worldwide are still recovering from the unprecedented effects of the COVID19 pandemic. 5G networks have the potential to transform the key components of healthcare systems through providing superior levels of connectivity that will help meet the needs of both patients and providers at scale. The buzz around 5G technology stems from the […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
