As network infrastructures evolve and selected elements shift from physical systems to virtual functions a new class of network appliance is required that provides high performance processing, balanced I/O and hardware or software acceleration. Such a platform must combine standard server technology and modular systems that can be configured to support line rate performance with […]

While small cells currently compliment the roles of the 3G/4G macro-base stations for coverage and capacity, they also have different characteristics. This webinar discussed wireless backhaul capacity, networking, and signal processing challenges for small-cells. It then focused on the technologies — millimeter-wave (E and V bands) radio technology in particular, as well as hardware and […]

The networking industry is moving from the “fixed-function era” where services are built upon proprietary hardware architectures and custom software to the “virtualized-function era” using standard hardware and software-defined networking (SDN). To address this mismatch between SDN software and old-style hardware, Xilinx has introduced the “softly” defined network approach, which creates a software-defined data plane […]

Networking OEMs today face ever-changing market needs at an accelerating rate and complexity. Their challenge lies in balancing development costs with the need to adapt quickly to evolving market requirements. Avago and Tieto have joined forces to enable and provide networking OEMs with the technology, support, and services they require to be successful in the […]

The availability and performance of LTE components are becoming a critical issue as carriers Deploying dense urban access points that cover both licensed and unlicensed spectrum can offer higher quality-of-experience guarantees for end-users. In this webinar, LSI Corporation and SAI Technology discuss scalable LTE-Advanced solutions for both dense urban and rural applications, utilizing Axxia-based systems-on-chips. […]
