PIC your test to deliver reliable optical component performance in a next-generation world, says François Couny
EXFO launched the Optical Xplorer at the recent ANGA COM event.
Installing FTTH doesn’t need to be a headache. Your challenge: mass deployments mean managing multiple contractors and untrained personnel. Evolving PON technologies, new test gear and training mean keeping your teams updated to deliver the outstanding quality expected.
Mathieu Bergont and Francois Couny look at the challenges that come with PIC testing and measurement
EXFO’s real-time network topology software (EXFO Ontology) has been selected by a US Tier 1 service provider to help with a major network transformation in a contract win valued at $4.9 million.
The only automated, all-in-one solution that provides a clear pass/fail diagnosis of critical polarity, continuity and connector cleanliness tests of both MPO 12 and MPO 24 links. Compatible with singlemode, multimode, APC and UPC fibers, male and female connectors, ConnectorMax MPO eliminates the need to buy different units.
As the pandemic underlines the value of the internet more than ever, its underlying technology is making one of its biggest transitions for years.
The data centre market is a particularly wide-ranging one, with one of the driving forces in recent years the emergence of the hyperscale data centre or cloud service provider.
As the world struggles to settle into the ‘new normal’, today’s optical networks need to be flexible in their architecture blueprint, while adapting to new technologies to provide the kinds of new capacity and service options to meet accelerated demand for higher bandwidth.
To address the undeniable growing demand for higher bandwidth, optical vendors have been playing their role with the development of various coherent optical transceivers for different areas of the market, each with its own set of design considerations.
The demand for bandwidth has unarguably skyrocketed in recent years, thanks largely to the increased appetite for online gaming, content streaming and social-media use.
The importance of reliable connectivity has never been more recognised than it is now. While ambitious targets have been in place across the world for fibre deployment for some time, the ongoing pandemic has served to push it to the forefront.
