According to a recent report from the Los Angeles Times, approximately 3,000 construction workers are set to continue their work on the Los Angeles-based SoFi Stadium, the new NFL stadium scheduled to open in late July, despite a colleague being diagnosed positively for COVID-19.
This webinar will focus on how you can prepare for successful commissioning and deployment of 5G in the field and beyond. Whether you work at a service provider, in an enterprise or you are an individual wireless or fiber contractor, we’ll include case studies and tips to make your deployments faster, more accurate and with fewer reworks and repeat visits. Key topics include:Why thoroughly testing at every stage of 5G is the only option; Testing process from antenna to core; and analytics to help service providers plan and optimize.
Join AFL for our three-part webinar series that addresses How High Count Fiber Optics Power Today’s Hyperscale Market.
The webinars will take place over sessions and cover the following topics: Hyperscale market applications, Hyperscale solutions and future technology developments. The series starts on May 5.
DWDM is an optical multiplex technique. It combines multiple discrete transport channels of different wavelengths and transmit them on a single optic fiber. For example, if we multiplex 32 signals of STM-1 level, then optic fiber capacity will be increased from 2.5Gbps to 80 Gbps.This DWDM tutorial covers basics including DWDM transmitters and receivers and describes optical fiber basics, optical amplifier and other system components.
The FCC has adopted rules that make 1,200 megahertz of spectrum in the 6 GHz band (5.925–7.125 GHz) available for unlicensed use. The new rules are intended to usher in Wi-Fi 6, the next generation of Wi-Fi, and to play a crucial role in the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT). Wi-Fi 6 will be over two-and-a-half times faster than the current standard and will offer better performance for American consumers. Opening the 6 GHz band for unlicensed use will also increase the amount of spectrum available for Wi-Fi by nearly a factor of five and help improve rural connectivity.
While it would be nice to think that every reel of cable coming out of the factory is in perfect condition, that’s not always the case. Furthermore, what’s not to say that the reel wasn’t damaged during shipping and handling? Just imagine testing the cable plant after installation only to find out that the cable is faulty—now that’s time and money lost! Testing and documenting newly-delivered spools can also let you determine reel-to-reel consistency to keep your cabling vendors honest. Not to mention that it can help determine the cable was mishandled during installation, refuting blame by giving you proof that all was good before installation.
This webinar will cover the different cabling approaches needed to achieve the high density interconnects being installed in data centers today. It will also introduce 200 micron fiber as a path to create even higher density solutions and cover the installation and design impacts one must consider when looking to move to a 200 micron fiber solution.
As we adjust to new ways of living and working amid this global pandemic, an interesting question arises: How will these shifts impact us long term? Will COVID-19 serve as a change agent, transforming the way we use technology? Recent technology advancements are doing more than changing how we work. They’re helping us adhere to social distancing and stay-at-home orders, keeping non-essential workers at home while those on the frontlines head out every day to help fight this battle. Without our progress toward faster speeds, more bandwidth and applications such as videoconferencing, many of us would be struggling much more than we are to get work done, keep in touch with family and even keep food delivered to our front door—without having to leave our homes.
As bandwidth usage intensifies, costs of fiber optic cable continue to decrease and emerging technologies demand faster speeds and more reliable connectivity, fiber cable is becoming a practical solution for many cabling projects. Before you decide for sure that fiber is the right way to go for your project, there’s another decision to make: Do you need singlemode or multimode fiber?
Picking the right category cable and connectivity for your specific application isn’t always as straightforward as it should be. Even if you know you need a Category 6A system, how do you wade through your choices and pick the right one? A lot of your questions can be answered by thinking about your application and the type of performance you need to keep technology up and running.
