Corning and Intel will collaborate to accelerate the availability of 5G in buildings. The companies will work together to deliver a virtual platform for Corning’s 5G network solutions, which will be powered by Intel Xeon scalable processors and Intel FlexRAN reference software architecture.
LightCounting expects sales of Ethernet optical transceivers will have declined by 18% when it tallies figures for 2019. The decline is the largest the market research firm has recorded and the first year-on-year dip since 2009, when sales slipped 4%. However, LightCounting states in its new “High Speed Ethernet Optics Report” that purchases of Ethernet optical transceivers should rebound through 2024.
Pico has launched a dark fiber backbone network for the New York/New Jersey financial community with a capacity of 10 Tbps. The fiber-optic network connects such Wall Street liquidity centers as Equinix NY4 (Secaucus), Nasdaq (Carteret), Intercontinental Exchange NYSE (Mahwah), and Cyxtera NJ2 (Weehawken).
This article explores some practical problems and difficulties in the application of high-speed transceiver in the data center. For example, the 40G / 100G high-speed transceiver has not developed a revolutionary new photoelectric conversion technology, but by upgrading the manufacturing process, the original 10G transceiver technology to expand. In essence, for the 10G transceiver, by increasing the number of transceiver fiber to enhance the bandwidth.
Who’s watching the network? It’s time to “TAP” into your network and see what is going on.Tap modules enable passive optical tapping of the network while reducing downtime and link loss, and increase rack space utilization and density compared to other optical tap options.
TIA-942 standard for data centers is the world’s most popular data center standard. It’s used by well over 70% of the population [of facilities] around the world. Data center stakeholders have been very concerned about ensuring that their data center was designed, built, and approved as having met those criteria. This webinar illustrates the importance and benefits of Edge Data Center certification as a precursor to 5G deployment.
A passive optical LAN infrastructure can equip a facility to support the coming building-as-a-service model.
The key to bringing this profound intelligence to the building is optical fiber, because it’s the only medium capable of delivering sufficient bandwidth to support current and anticipated usage. Although developers sometimes try to engineer fiber out—because it’s too expensive, or not necessary—tenants have fundamental expectations that only fiber can deliver.
TIA’s TR-42 Telecommunications Cabling Systems Engineering Committee is in the midst of a busy year, with multiple standard-development projects completed and several others underway. Meanwhile, the TIA also is at work launching a different standards-development committee that also will concern itself with information communications technology (ICT) systems, not limited to cabling infrastructure. This article will recap some of the goings-on within TR-42 and provide information on the formation of TR-60.
When IT pros from around the world come together to solve a problem with IoT for smart cities, everyone learns something new. Itron’s Smart City Challenge drew on the IoT expertise of tech startups from more than 20 countries to help the cities of London and Glasgow solve difficult challenges.
