Big Data for Telcos: cutting OPEX, improving service quality – and deploying services faster

Big Data has won acclaim – and rightfully so – for helping marketers improve the efficiency of their campaigns, assisting doctors in making diagnoses, fighting fraud, detecting hacker attacks, and even predicting financial markets. While most of the attention has been on consumer applications, Big Data analytics and techniques can be applied to telecommunications and […]

Coarse WDM and its applications

Coarse WDM and its applications Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM), a WDM technology, is characterized by wider channel spacing than Dense WDM (DWDM) as defined in ITU-T Rec. G.671. CWDM systems can realize cost-effective applications, through a combination of uncooled lasers, relaxed laser wavelength selection tolerances and wide passband filters. CWDM systems can be used […]

Технология PON

PON (Passive optical network) — технология пассивных оптических сетей. Одна из главных задач, стоящих перед современными телекоммуникационными сетями доступа – так называемая проблема «последней мили», предоставление как можно большей полосы пропускания индивидуальным и корпоративным абонентам при минимальных затратах. Суть технологии PON заключается в том, что между приемопередающим модулем центрального узла OLT (Optical line terminal) и […]

Технология CWDM

Технология CWDM доказала свою эффективность для решения задач уплотнения оптических несущих – WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing). Суть этой технологии заключается в том, что потоки данных, передаваемые по отдельным оптическим линиям, с помощью СWDM устройств (CWDM мультиплексоров) cоединяется в единый оптический сигнал, передаваемый по оптоволокну. На ответной стороне выполняется демультиплексирование (обратная операция). Ключевые преимущества CWDM: До […]

Ultrahigh density MPO/MTP cabling system in Data Center

As the data throughput increases, 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s are more commonplace and now become a trend and hotspot for data-center cabling system, plus the fact that MPO/MTP connector is the up-and-coming standard optical interface for 40G and 100G Ethernet network, so it is predicted that MPO/MTP will eventually replace the standards for fiber optics as […]

FTTH Roll Out – Operational Considerations

There are new operational realities in the highly competitive world of FTTH based communication services. This competition has implications for customer service and network expectations. Customers have little loyalty to services so customer interactions become high risk/reward opportunities for building loyalty. The ability to give a live answer with the correct information during a single […]

FTTH Rollout – First Things First

Management of the entire life cycle is our focus and there are at least three aspects of management that work together for success. Vision – what do I want to accomplish? Planning – how can I best accomplish it? Action – doing it Vision is a picture in the mind of the finished accomplishment. For […]

Nigerian telcos looking for post-election stability in northern states

Given its potential for further growth, Nigeria’s large and fast growing telecom markets continues to attract considerable foreign investment. Far reaching liberalisation has enabled hundreds of companies, operating under a unified licensing regime, to provide a full range of telecom and value-added services. Mobile and broadband services are being rolled out rapidly, backed by new […]
