Viavi Solutions has expanded its fibre optic testing portfolio with additional new optical power meters, as well as fibre characterisation modules and an enhanced optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) solution.
UK digital infrastructure provider, Openreach has selected the optical network monitoring system (ONMSi) from Viavi Solutions to accelerate its full-fibre broadband deployment across the country.
Viavi Solutions has announced that its optical security and performance products (OSP) segment plans to establish a new manufacturing facility in Chandler, Arizona.
Viavi Solutions has introduced the Viavi Optimeter, a new type of network test tool to speed and simplify last mile optical fibre activation and maintenance.
Keely Portway examines the latest 400ZR implementation agreement and asks, what does it mean for test and measurement?
Today's network bandwidth demand is being enabled by advanced DSP engines. Increasing deployed bandwidth is accomplished through two factors; a pure baud rate / data rate increase per channel and an adaptability to accommodate many different and changing network topologies. To enable the flexibility required in todays network, these DSP’s not only adapt in real time to a wide range of network impairments (i.e. loss, noise, distance, dispersion), but also report the values they are compensating for. This dramatically simplifies network planning and monitoring.
Viavi Solutions has introduced new test and measurement offerings for optical lab, production and manufacturing environments.
Keely Portway takes a look at what fibre engineers consider to be the most essential characteristics for test and measurement equipment, and how vendors are designing-out complexity to meet this demand
Koji Okamoto underlines the importance of rebooting test processes for the ‘new normal’
Vodafone New Zealand has selected Ciena to help advance its network with the deployment of 800G technology.
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.
Looking into the future of telecommunications, it could be argued that AI and telcos will effectively transform each other, explains Raf Meersman
