A key benefit of using general-purpose processors to implement open RAN/vRAN is that the same platforms can be used to support AI inference and other applications at the far edge of the network, such as cell site routers (CSRs) and content delivery and hosting. These edge platforms can be used to host virtualized applications closer […]
Open RAN Platforms and Architectures Operator Survey Report
This new open RAN platforms and architectures report uncovers the views within service providers on the readiness of the open RAN and vRAN ecosystem and first installations, the expected benefits from using open RAN / vRAN platforms and architectures, and the leading applications. The report covers the following: When and where are open RAN deployments […]
Taking the next step with Wi-Fi 6E
Wi-Fi is essential, and as the connected home continues to grow, wireless solutions need to keep pace. A fast and reliable wireless gateway has become the cornerstone of the home. Offering a solution with multi-gig capabilities and Wi-Fi 6E can provide subscribers with all they need and more. Adding a managed Wi-Fi solution with industry […]
Unlocking real-world performance in Home Wi-Fi
Wireless’ golden child to its biggest challenge. Wi-Fi’s 20 billion devices account for 95% of traffic from mobile devices, yet its poor performance generates 70% of customer care calls. Contention and interference pose some of the biggest challenges in home Wi-Fi. Can a ground-breaking, standards-compliant innovation unlock the results users crave? Join Liberty Global and […]
The Road to 800G and 1.6T in the Data Center
As the industry gears up for the introduction of 51.2 Tbit/s switches attention is focusing on the next generation of optics in data centers. The first 800G pluggable optical modules are being tested and solutions for 1.6T are in development. QSFP-DD and OSFP form factors were game changers for 400G client optics in the data […]
Heavy Reading Open RAN Platforms and Architectures Service Provider Survey 2022 Results
Open RAN promises significant opportunities for carriers and enterprises to deliver 5G services without being tied to legacy equipment and a single supplier. Open RAN and vRAN deployments are starting and are already capable of matching integrated RAN in simpler, lower-end deployments. The current challenge is delivering the benefits of Open RAN in high-end deployment […]
Lessons from 400G ease 800G data center deployments
A staged upgrade to 800G made possible by developments for 400G enables service providers to quickly deliver higher bandwidths and network capacity in data centers. Many service providers successfully migrated data centers to 400G by taking advantage of double-density QSFP-DD optical modules that are backward-compatible with 100G QSFP and by using optical breakouts to support […]
Optical Networking Digital Symposium: Where Next for Coherent Pluggable Optics?
The deployment of pluggable coherent optical modules has enabled 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 transport systems and enabling the transport of IP traffic directly over DWDM with the use of open line systems (IPoDWDM). […]
800G Client Optics in the Data Center
Demand for high speed networking in data centers is growing rapidly driven by the massive shift to cloud services. 100G was in development for many years before there was widescale deployments in data centers. 400G was developed and deployed in hyperscale data centers relatively quickly and 800G will be deployed much quicker than many realize. […]
Simplify your Multicloud Networking to Improve Business Agility and Reduce TCO
The convergence of cloud and communications is at a tipping point, accelerating the demand for new enterprise services. The dependence of these services on single hyperscale clouds can be a nightmare for availability and disaster recovery. Enterprises need to seek multi-cloud and hybrid cloud services to avoid getting handcuffed into a single cloud vendor and […]
