A Certified Fiber Optics Workforce 2020

By Steven Harris — Our networks are evolving to meet the ever-increasing thirst for bandwidth, whether that is with DOCSIS, fiber deep (FD), or passive optical network (PON) technology.

An Access Network Evolution with DAA

By Steven Harris — For all the folks supporting the traditional telecommunication access network, or the network connecting our subscribers, the evolution has begun! The priority of reliability, capacity, service quality and reduced latency for the customer experience is top of mind for operators.

10 Gbps Symmetrical with XGS-PON

By Steven Harris — Nowadays there are two symmetrical choices in the GPON roadmap for 10 Gbps: XGS-PON (ITU-T G.9807.1) and NG-PON2 (ITU-T G.989). In XGS-PON, the “X” refers to 10 Gbps while the “S” refers to symmetrical.

DOCSIS Provisioning of EPON, Passport to the Future!

By Steven Harris — Our networks are evolving to meet the ever-increasing thirst for bandwidth, whether that is with DOCSIS, fiber deep (FD), or passive optical network (PON) technology.

Live Long and Multiplex?

Cleaning Optics Is a Practice Not a Project

By Steven Harris — The trend in the cable industry going forward will be to deploy an increased number of fiber-rich networks that include sophisticated optic connections, equipment, and cabling.

Grasping the Theory of Fiber Optics

By Steven Harris — The transport medium of choice for these future cable access networks and next generation services will be fiber optic cabling. As I shared in my previous articles, operators are focused on improving the quality of the network and transforming them with new fiber deep, FTTx, and distributed access architecture.

Remote PHY Distributed Access Architecture

By Steven Harris – The access network will require the adoption of scalable new standard architectures leveraging new hardware components and designs. One of the scalable architectures is called “fiber deep”
