Energy savings are an important factor driving the growth of smart building technology. More than 75% of U.S. companies and organizations are paying more attention to investments in energy efficiency and smart building technology.
AFL has enhanced its current MicroCore product line by adding the Ruggedized MicroCore and Ruggedized MicroCore with SpiderWeb Ribbon Technology models to its existing offering. Positioned as an ideal alternative to traditional inside plant central loose tube ribbon cable, “both cables eliminate concerns associated with edge fiber stresses due to preferential bend of encapsulated ribbons,” says the company.
This online course helps people understand their knowledge and understanding of connectivity choices and architectures for Hyperscale/Cloud Data Center infrastructure design, installation or management.The course highlights the differences that are inherent to Hyperscale data centers versus other types of data centers.
Proposals for the Fall BICSI conference are due Friday at Midnight! BICSI’s Education Advancement Committee (EAC) is seeking proposals for Pre-Conference Seminars, General Sessions and Concurrent Sessions focused on innovative approaches to ICT, which attendees can use immediately in their daily activities.
Tomorrow! Interested in learning about the specifications and requirements defined in the TIA-1005-A standard, as well as design and installation procedures for industrial networks? This webinar will answer your questions. Earn a BICSI CEC for attending.
DASAN Zhone Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: DZSI), a global leader in fiber access transformation for enterprise and service provider networks, announced the introduction of its 5200 family. Additions to DZS’s FTTx Portfolio allow network operators flexibility and control in response to new opportunities and service demands.
As networks continue to become denser, coarse wave division multiplexing (CWDM) and dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) offer two effective ways to increase the bandwidth of new and existing fiber deployments by combining optical signals of different wavelengths on one fiber strand. It’s a practical, proven solution. CWDM modules can support up to 18 different wavelength channels on one strand of fiber. DWDM modules support up to 48 wavelength channels on one strand of fiber. Which is right for you? This article explores the differences in cost, technology and whether you need to amplify the signal.
For mobile operators 5G is as much about business transformation as it is about network transformation. It’s about new business models and growing revenue streams, collaboratively working across the value fabric of 5G. Mobile networks hold a tremendous amount of data on where people go throughout their day, which applications they use, and the topics that matter most to those people at any given time. Until now, this data was unused as there was too much of it to mine to get to the valuable information. That has all changed with platforms that can take that raw data and find the knowledge needed to turn it into a valuable commodity. This knowledge will become the driving force of revenue for mobile operators in the years to come.
While mechanical splice connectors have come a long way and are an ideal field termination method for connectorizing fiber, we rarely hear much anymore about mechanical splicing as a means for joining fibers along a link – even though it eliminates the need for expensive fusion splicing equipment. Fusion splicing, where cleaved fibers are aligned and fused by an electric arc, provides the lowest loss and strongest, most reliable joint.
Designing the physical infrastructure for a network in an industrial or manufacturing facility requires careful consideration to identify the right cable media to deploy. Many factors play a role in the selection of the optimum products for any given design. Referencing TIA-1005-A “Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Industrial Premises,” provides insight into environmental factors and work areas that will drive the selection of these materials, be it a fiber or copper cabling subsystem. This webinar introduces the specifications and requirements defined in this standard, as well as design and installation procedures for industrial networks. The seminar also will offer solutions that will enable a robust industrial network deployment.
