Webinar: The Year of 10G PON
This webinar will cover: the benefits of deploying 10 Gigabit PON, guidance on monetizing the subscriber edge, how to support current service needs, and the ability to scale economically.
MTP splice modules open up migration to 400 Gb/s
Leviton’s HDX LC and MTP® Fiber Splice Modules bring field splicing to ultra-high-density networks. Plus, they are the only MTP splice modules on the market – opening up network migrations to 400 Gb/s.
Utility Grid Experiences First Cyberattack
The U.S. utility industry may have just experienced its first malicious “cyber event”—or at least the first such event to be reported. The report was a “denial-of-service” attack that disabled Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance devices ringing power grid control systems for the affected locations.
Need a Change? Getting Started in Fiber Optics, 2019 Style
To get started in fiber optics, you need to follow a simple path. Start with your abilities. Do you have the dexterity to do the kinds of work fiber optic techs do? You need fine motor skills to work with hair-thin fibers and color perception to mate the right fibers and cables when splicing. For outside plant work, you also may need to be able to perform heavy construction duties.

Is that a Cloud or the Fog Rolling in? Keeping up with the ever-changing patterns in Data Centers
Much like any weather system, the cloud moves and changes according to its surroundings. Where the cloud meets the horizon, some notice a new formation, one caused by the development of IoT. The fog extends the cloud closer to the devices, thus reducing latency. Regardless of the definition, edge data centers will be required, either as new construction or created from smaller existing enterprise or colocation data centers.
Smart buildings of glass
Glass in architecture has been recently used more intensively thanks to developments in its manufacturing. I am sure that glass as façade material or structural element will be more and more popular with future advanced glass technology. We already have products with integrated technical systems such as heated glass panels or glass with solar collectors. In the future, every surface of a building could produce solar energy.
