What is Fiber to the Edge (FTTE)? | Corning

By on • ( Leave a comment )

FTTE is an architecture for LANs that uses optical fiber to bring data to the edge of the network where the network interfaces via ports or wirelessly through cellular or Wi-Fi with Internet of Things (IoT) devices, like cell phones, laptops, security cameras, machine-to-machine controls, building management systems, automated guided vehicles, etc. and the applications that support them.
FTTE is ideal for businesses that need high capacity and flexibility in their network. Optical fiber delivers the high bandwidth, low latency, reach, and flexibility required to meet the demands of developing applications, like next-gen Wi-Fi, high-availability A/V, and 5G within a single building or across a large campus.

While advancing technologies are enhancing and easing our way of living in almost every industry, one of the transitions is gaining traction in real estate, namely smart estate management. Per a MarketsandMarkets report, in 2021, the global smart building market valuation reached $72.6 billion and is likely to grow at a CAGR of around 10.9% and go beyond $121.6 billion by 2026. The elevation in these figures depends on various factors, like increasing energy consumption and costs and innovation in technologies like IoT and PoE.

By on • ( Leave a comment )

A July 2023 report by Statista predicts the number of connected devices will escalate to 17.08 billion in 2024,  from 15.14 billion in 2023. This digital expansion is set to generate a colossal volume of data, with a forecasted 157 zettabytes in 2024.  According to an IDC report, 20% of this data will be created at the edge – a statistic that underscores the growing significance of edge computing.

How to Leverage Edge Computing to Get the Most out of Enterprise IoT Solutions

By on • ( Leave a comment )

The Internet of Things significantly stirs up interest in the topic of edge computing in recent years. The fact is that edge computing has high hopes for unleashing the potential of ever-increasing volume of data that is produced by IoT devices. By 2025, this volume is expected to reach a whopping 73.1 ZB, but to extract value from it, data flows respectively need to be competently allocated, managed, and analyzed. Edge devices might be helpful here.
This article explains which environments require edge computing, which cases of  IoT + edge tandem are the most promising, and how to distribute working loads competently over the IoT ecosystem.

White Paper: Infrastructure Solutions for Edge Networks

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Deploying and maintaining an edge data center requires specific focus on both communications infrastructure as well as the equipment that houses and protects that infrastructure. Add to the mix that the term “edge” can be defined in a number of ways, and meeting customer expectations requires significant planning and project management during an edge deployment. This On Topic Report, focused on Edge Networking, acknowledges the reality that edge can mean different things to different users. In that vein, it provides practical information about the edge’s place in the larger network landscape, and delivers useful information about deploying the right solution for users’ needs.
