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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Why is it that while residential broadband access speeds have now reached multi-gigabit, we are still having video-conferencing issues, VOIP hiccups, gaming “lag” spikes and spending so much time staring at a “loading” spinning icon on our smartphones and other devices? COVID-19 has shown us the importance of universal broadband access, but raw broadband speeds […]
