Digital Marketplace A Panacea for digital transformation woes?

Analysing the role of digital marketplace solutions in helping CSPs compete effectively and create true differentiators in a dynamic industry thats being steered by digital transformations. The need for communication service providers (CSPs) to look beyond traditional voice and data services have become more urgent and imminent than ever before. To stay relevant and compete effectively, they would need to diversify and take the plunge into new age digital services and explore relatively under penetrated customer segments, such as the enterprise segment...

Analytics on the edge

Intelligent edge refers to the analysis of data and development of solutions at the site where the data is generated. Rather than constantly delivering data back to the central server, edge-enabled devices or nodes can gather and process data in real-time, allowing them to respond faster and more effectively. This technology reduces latency, costs, and security risks, thus making the associated business more efficient...

The impact of FTTH network architectures on the efficient use of active equipment

I did touch this subject about 5 years ago but I felt the subject needed an update based on newer experiences but above all, price points mentioned in a previous version did evolve dramatically and it has an impact on the overall result. Read: prices of OLT cards have dropped so why would you still save on active equipment? Well today you might install GPON line cards whose prices have decreased over the last few years but tomorrow one might want to upgrade directly to the latest generation like NG-PON2 line cards which come at a higher price...

Data Centres and the art of accelerated value

2020 needs to be the time for cultural shifts driven by technology; and investment in new network technologies is only a part of the whole answer. While we see disruptive trends in technology, big and small, design-led innovations will drive these changes. This paper highlights the paradigm shifts in design and execution philosophies which will redefine the data centre ecosystem..

Defining the role of convergence in Policy and Charging

Over the past few decades, charging has been a critical element of telecom operations. With the evolution of mobile internet and high data usage, policy control has also become equally important. Although network operators and telecom vendors have always treated these two functions (Policy Control and Charging) differently, if you look closely, they are meant to complement each other and hence be aware of each other...

Fibre speed limiters the history and latest disruption

While optical fibre is a fantastic means of transportation of data it does have its limitations. There are a range of optical parameters that limit how far a given transmission system can transmit a signal before optical-electrical-optical regeneration is required. As transmission systems and fibres have developed over the last 25 years, we have also seen those limitations shift amongst the fibre parameters...

Measurement Of Multipth Interference For Bend Insensitive Fibers: Broadband Source/Osa Technique

We investigated the multipath interference (MPI) characteristics of short length bend insensitive optical fibers using broadband source/OSA technique. It is found that MPI is negligible for fibers with lengths as short as 2 m with worst case splice conditions. As the fiber reaches near or into houses for FTTH applications, it needs to have very high bend resistance [1]...

Bend insensitive 200 micron optical fiber

Deployment of optical fiber cable in limited space and in tight bend conditions demands reduced diameter optical fiber and cable with bend insensitive fiber. To address this need, optical fiber with 200 micron outer coating diameter instead of 250 micron for conventional fiber has been developed...

Decoding MPLS-TP and the deployment possibilities

Over the past few years, leading communications service providers and a number of NE (network element) suppliers have supported the development of an MPLS Transport profile (MPLS-TP) that will enable the technology to be operated in a similar manner to existing transport technologies and give it the capability to support packet transport services with a degree of predictability that is found in existing transport networks...
