As more cloud service providers and hyperscale data centers migrate to 200 and 400 Gb/s to support 50 and 100 Gb/s servers, active equipment manufacturers have already announced 400 Gb/s switch platforms in response to demand from data center managers. What is involved in creating the right ecosystem for 400 Gb/s Ethernet? What options to data center designers have? This webinar will provide an overview and guidance.
Ericsson’s engineers have achieved delivery rates of 4.3 Gbps – i.e. the fastest 5G speed to date — using a new combination of Ericsson Radio System solutions and 8CC software aggregating 800MHz of millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum band, the landmark data rate was achieved during interoperability testing using commercial solutions and serves to extended the capabilities of 5G, contends Ericsson.
IIoT brings together a range of industrial devices that all communicate over a common Ethernet protocol, enabling the sharing of information across multiple industrial systems. Industrial Ethernet connectors need to stand up to harsher mechanical factors (vibration, force and impact), the potential for ingress (dust and liquids), climate and chemicals (temperature, radiation and pollutants) and electromagnetic interference – these factors determine standards-based M.I.C.E. parameters for classifying components in an industrial network.This article looks at the types of connectors available for emerging industrial Ethernet applications.
The latest Smart Buildings Magazine round table recently took place, which was entitled, ‘Collaboration within Smart Buildings’. Hosted by Schneider Electric, the panel discussed the collaboration required to deliver and derive genuine value from smart building technology. The wide ranging discussion looked at the involvement required of key contributors including business/finance/HR/IT and occupants in ensuring the delivery of a smart building.
Smart buildings are touted as providing more efficient buildings in terms of resource utilization, renewable resources, and energy efficiency, and as delivering improved indoor air quality (IAQ), productivity, and connectivity with the digital world. They hold out the promise of seamlessly weaving people, technology, and business into an enhanced and optimized ecosystem.
New technologies, like artificial intelligence (AI) and smart B-IoT devices, are supposed to make nearly any problem readily solvable; yet we see very few examples of these types of infrastructures being designed or constructed today.
While the promise of smart buildings stands to revolutionize how we design, build, and work in the built environment of the future, are these claims to fame just speculation or is there some validity to them?
Software-Defined WAN, or SD-WAN for short, is a new technology that gives new meaning to wide area networks. An SD-WAN starts out at the same branch office, then goes through an SD-WAN router, which sends the signal over DSL, fiber optics or LTE connections, then over the public internet, and then through wired connections – DSL or fiber optics – into another SD-WAN router, and then int the HQ data center or a cloud provider.
Digital transformation, the “internet of things” and our high-speed future all rely on the scalability of the infrastructure behind them. Here are three quick tips for network providers to meet the need for speed and streamline your high-speed migration with agile data center installation: Design for lower loss budgets; streamline documentation; and ensure performance.
U.S. electrical contractors are not the only ones facing a labor shortage. Others around the globe are experiencing similar challenges. Here, trade groups in several countries shared how they are recruiting and training more people.
Siemon’s structured cabling technology — including 10 GbE copper and fiber cabling solutions — has been installed at Rich Products’ new 15-acre UK production facility as a future proofing strategy and to enable a fully automated production process and intelligent building services.
An innovative technology based on multi-plane light conversion (MPLC) overcomes the bandwidth limitations of multimode fibers by using Long Range Multimode (LRM) transceivers and a mode conditioning patch cord.
