The Bridge to FTTH Runs Through Cable — and Many Roads in Between

By Juan Bravo – There’s a little irony in the fact that now it seems more than ever, cable operators are seriously seeking ways to make the most of their extensive legacy HFC infrastructure

Finding More Capacity in OSP Fiber — the OSP AOM

By Jim Kane – The distribution network may be limited, however, by the capacity available in its outside plant (OSP) splice closures, particularly those that are near or have already exhausted internal space.

Moving Towards 1.8 GHz Networks — What Does It Mean For Operators Today?

By Steve Condra – In 2019 Teleste took the initiative to help operators in their 1.8 GHz considerations and performed measurements in a real network environment [2] to find out what can be expected of 1.8 GHz capable network elements and how operators can obtain the most out of their networks with minimal changes. The study focused on two questions:

Testing Broadband Internet QoE

By Erick Davila – VeEX’s RTU-320 operates as both a TCP server and TCP client when testing against field test equipment. The RTU-320 performs bi-directional upstream and downstream tests, IPv6 V-PERF, bi-directional V-PERF that combines client-to-server and server-to-client tests into one. With up to two independent test blades, the RTU-320 enables 4x 10 Gbps test interfaces ensuring reliable and repeatable data.
