Optical transport systems vendor, ECI has partnered with service distributor, WDC Networks to better serve Brazilian internet service providers (ISPs).
Australia’s wholesale open-access broadband provider NBN Co is deploying Infinera’s Transcend software-defined networking (SDN) solution into its transit network.
Samples of CST Global’s 1270nm 2.5Gb/s lasers have shown eye mask margins of 34 per cent and extinction ratios up to 9.3dB.
The optical fiber network infrastructures installed today will typically see four generations of transmission systems over the network’s expected lifetime. As recent history has shown, the amount of data traffic these networks will carry will increase dramatically and continuously.
In order to cope with this increasing growth and anticipate the networks of tomorrow, a completely open spectral transmission window from 1260nm to 1625nm for data transmission and up to 1650nm for network monitoring is necessary in optical fiber cables.
Craig Cherubini of Locktel has won the ‘Fibre Ninja of the Month’ award for June 2019 from Viavi Solutions for his 'outstanding services' to fibre optic broadband installation.
Fibre Systems is looking for fibre engineers and installation professionals to share their experiences in the pages of the magazine.
The Greater Manchester Combined Authority has issued a Tender Notice for partner companies to help ‘procure the design, implementation, maintenance and support,’ of a new full-fibre network in the area.
Senior fibre engineer, Tony Smith of SDH Project Services has been rewarded for his ‘outstanding services’ to broadband under a new initiative from Viavi Solutions.
The High Court of Justice has ruled in favour of the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority over its decision on the use of the term ‘fibre’ in advertising.
Altice Europe has closed a transaction to sell a stake of 49.99 per cent in SFR FTTH, the operator’s fibre to the home business.
