One of the most exciting selling points of 5G is the release of congestion currently experienced on the 4G network. Add to that unparalleled internet speeds and data transfers, the new mobile internet technology is beaming with potential waiting to be scaled. Anyone on the 4G network can attest to the congestion with untimely pauses […]
400 gigabit ethernet is quite self-explanatory in the fact that it is an ethernet connection which operates four times faster than 100G. The name ‘400GbE’ stands for the next capacity rate in Ethernet interfaces. 400 GbE is advancing the optical network landscape, pushing network providers to adopt the new addition in order to stay ahead. […]
Submarine cabling is not a new concept, in fact, it was first implemented in 1858, connecting Newfoundland and Ireland through a telegraph cable that was placed deep beneath the sea’s surface. Whilst this was revolutionary at the time, the first non-test message that was sent was a 509-letter message that took 17 hours and 40 […]
Network convergence might sound like an enigmatic concept when, in fact, it’s simply the aggregation of all electronic mediums of communication onto one ubiquitous 5G network. In essence, it merges mobile, video transmission, data communication services into a coexisting network. The need for increased bandwidth in an always-online society is the motivation that has given […]
Full-fiber broadband is already on the horizon. In fact, the APAC region are ahead of the curve as Singapore reaches first place with 93% fiber coverage across the island. The rest of the world is following along with substantial investments into similar infrastructure across multiple countries. For example, the UK recently approved a £5 billion […]
With the arrival of 5G already occurring in select countries and the anticipated launch expected to happen in most within 2020, the need for telecom engineers to be skilled and trained within all aspects of 5G is evident. In order to achieve set targets and for the roll-out of 5G to be deemed successful, telecom […]
The promise of 5G deployment has transitioned from the drawing board to reality as the 5th generation of wireless technology, planned and developed for nearly a decade now, begins limited service. The race is on to secure global 5G leadership due to the number of competitive advantages that are set to follow in tow. With […]
5G has been lauded as the next big technology innovation and rightfully so, too. With the capacity to download a HD movie in a second compared to the 10 minutes it takes for its 4G and LTE counterparts, there’s a lot riding on its growing prevalence. The conversation around 5G also means other digitally-driven innovations […]
Although 5G is still in its early stage, it isn’t anything esoteric, even if you may not consider yourself a digital-first company. With 5G set to become the impetus of forward-thinking organizations, Singapore is taking the lead with its deployment. The nation’s mobile network operators (MNOs) are currently racing in a bid to become one […]
Over the past several months, we have been taking a closer look at Multi-Fiber MPO connectors and how the continued growth of this technology is changing the dynamic for contractors. As data centers are rapidly scaling up their networks to support 40G and 100G speeds, multi-fiber MPO connectors are being used throughout the network architectures. […]
