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.

Widespread IoT adoption creates more entry points into corporate networks, inherently expanding the cyberattack surface. Due to their specialized nature and limited computational ability, IoT devices are highly vulnerable, which hampers the integration of adequate security measures. To help protect networks, TIA published the first-ever global Cybersecurity and Supply Chain Security Standard (SCS 9001), to verify that networks and their supporting hardware and software components and subcomponents meet critical security benchmarks to mitigate the risk of cybersecurity attacks. 

Intelligent build solutions are key to the success of future network deployments

By on • ( Leave a comment )

We currently find ourselves in a period of unprecedented demand for network infrastructure. The rapid adoption of digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), predictive analytics and the internet of things (IoT), have further heightened this trend. As the digitization and virtualization of business and society continues, more and more demands are placed on the data center because of the immense amount of potential it holds. For data center companies to realize this potential, they must operate more efficiently. To operate more efficiently, the industry must undergo a transformation—a digital transformation, that is.
No longer is funding the main constraint to deploying digital infrastructure. A constrained labor market, challenges in the supply chain, lack of real-time visibility into project execution, difficulty in auditing daily project results, lack of data integrity and more are all roadblocks to digitizing a network as each results in network inefficiencies and costs.
