This white paper presents the key findings from the Heavy Reading “Accelerating Open RAN Platforms Survey,” conducted in March and April 2021. The combination of 5G and open RAN is driving significant opportunities for carriers and enterprises to upgrade and enhance their wireless networks without being tied to legacy equipment and existing suppliers. The standardized […]
Electronic and photonic building blocks for high-speed wireline transceivers
Especially inside the large data centers that underpin today’s cloud and internet infrastructure, traffic keeps growing exponentially. As a result, the industry is now looking at 800G- and even 1.6T-capable optical (pluggable) transceivers, and co-packaged optics with even higher capacities. Maintaining transceiver footprints requires significant advances in terms of energy efficiency, integration density and bandwidth […]
Exploring real-world 5G use case at the 5G Open Innovation Lab
As 5G rolls out across the globe, the search is on for new ways to utilize this technology for real-life innovation.The opportunities that 5G, cloud and edge computing present call for a collaborative approach to explore tangible outcomes.The 5G Open Innovation Lab (5GOIL) provides a vibrant global ecosystem that brings together developers, enterprises, wireless carriers […]
Optical Networking Symposium: The Pluggable Optical Edge
Growing bandwidth demands driven by cloud services and enabled by fiber to the premises and 5G wireless networks, is forcing service providers to expand the capacity and capabilities of their optical edge networks. Pluggable optical modules are key to this expansion of optical edge networks enabling pluggable optical connections up to 400 Gbit/s and innovative […]
Optical Networking Symposium: DCI and Metro Connections in the Coherent Pluggable Age
The deployment of pluggable coherent optical modules is enabling service providers to re-architect their DCI and metro optical networks. These modules can be plugged directly into switches and routers removing the need for dedicated optical systems, expanding the ecosystem of suppliers, and opening the door to IPoDWDM with the use of open line systems. The […]
The Technology & Economics of Expanding Rural Broadband in the USA
Across the country, local, state and federal initiatives are backing broadband for rural communities. While this effort to connect the unconnected has been underway for decades, the technology, services and economics to scale this critical infrastructure is not just catching up – it’s thinking forward. In this session, we’ll hear from industry leaders on the […]
C-Band Spectrum: What It Means for Accelerating 5G Deployments
The newly available C-band frequencies are considered ideal for 5G as they strike the perfect balance between coverage and throughput. As those frequencies weren’t available when 5G was first introduced, operators are now realigning their investments to focus on C-band in an effort to offer a quicker, better 5G experience to mobile users. This new […]
Open RAN Digital Symposium – Platforms and Architectures for Open RAN Performance
Open RAN is transforming mobile networks. From a starting position as an alternative to vendor-integrated proprietary Radio Access Networks(RANs), Open RAN now has broad and deep support across the mobile network ecosystem. With open interfaces, commercial hardware andcloud-native software, it may one day be the best way to build a RAN. The Open RAN Digital […]
Managing the Home Broadband Experience – Taking your Subscribers to the next generation of Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi has evolved at a rapid pace, with ever more innovative devices to help us in our digital life. Wi-Fi has become an essential part of our world, as important as your first cup of coffee. Subscribers take Wi-Fi for granted and often think of Wi-Fi as “the Internet.” When it works, you do not […]
Maximum Benefits From Disruptive mmWave Technology for FWA Services
The increasing demand for high quality Broadband Access can only by addressed by significant network infrastructure enhancements. The fibre plant is used extensively but fibre cannot reach everywhere. Moreover the copper network cannot deliver the high capacity service of today and gradually it is decommissioned. Recent technology advances set Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) as a […]
