FTTX ODN Solution Introduction PON access system should be an all-optical solution in response to the continuously growing bandwidth requirements in the last-mile (access) domain. PON-based access network follows the trend of delivery of triple-play services to end subscribers, aggregating three types of services over a single delivery platform. This in turns is the next step in the evolution of the core networks to IP-based NGN. In order to build the new generation of optical access networks, this solution draws on the technologies of different maturity extents such as EPON, GPON, Ethernet and xDSL, ranging from local exchange devices of various capacities to serialized user-side devices. It can be deployed in various application scenarios, such as FTTC, FTTB, FTTO and FTTH, enabling operators to deliver services in a simple and straightforward manner, providing cost-effective  high-bandwidth and multi-service support capabilities. This allows operators to become more competitive and adapt services to ever changing customer demands. #ODN #FTTH #FTTx #PON #OLT #ONU

Trend report: Operational applications in the age of radio and broadband networks Many private radio users are migrating towards broadband networks, be they government mission critical broadband networks, private broadband networks or commercial broadband networks. A key feature for operational applications is that they serve all users, and bring all users together regardless of the device and network they are using. This enables organizations and teams to use the best tools for their operations. Users can also migrate towards broadband solutions at their own speed, while working together and communicating with all other stakeholders on various networks. Portalify solutions are ready-to-go for the hybrid (radio and broadband networks at the same time) and mission critical broadband networks. For example, Portalify Locate Server is a location tracking server that supports both TETRA radio and broadband device location tracking. It also supports advanced features like indoor location tracking, also on both TETRA radios and broadband smartphones. Portalify Locate Server has already been deployed large scale for public safety network operators using it on both TETRA and broadband public safety networks. Provide state of the art location services on your networks today and seamlessly into the future!

There’s often a mix-up when it comes to media converters, switches, and modems. It’s not just the general public— even some tech companies get it wrong! Media converters are playing a bigger role than ever in building reliable and efficient network infrastructures. We hear these four questions all the time: ↳ What does a media converter do? ↳ Is it the same as a switch? ↳ How does a media converter work? ↳ What’s the difference between a media converter and a modem? In our latest blog post, we break down these common questions and set the record straight. Check it out to learn more about this essential but often misunderstood piece of network equipment 👉 https://hubs.ly/Q02RT0tq0

🌲UGG & GVG Glasfaser kündigen strategische Zusammenarbeit an🌲 Unsere Grüne Glasfaser (UGG) and GVG Glasfaser have officially announced a strategic collaboration to accelerate the roll-out of future-proof #fibre-optic infrastructure in select regions of southwest Germany. This partnership will see GVG's teranet brand integrated into UGG's open-access fibre network, providing a critical boost to the digital infrastructure. After the conclusion of #GVG's cooperation with Deutsche Giga Access (DGA) earlier this year, GVG had been in discussions with new partners to ensure the continuation of planned #expansion projects. These efforts have now culminated in the cooperation with #UGG. Key figures involved in this collaboration include Jörn Schoof, Managing CCO of UGG, who highlighted the importance of this partnership: 🗨 "Typically, UGG builds its open fibre network without pre-sale quotas. Thanks to GVG’s successful pre-marketing efforts, we can now move at full speed in these selected communities, making a decisive contribution to the digitalization of the economy and society." The cooperation focuses on municipalities where #Teranet has already secured the necessary customer contracts for a commercially viable rollout. If the involved municipalities approve, construction could begin as early as spring 2024, ensuring a fast-track deployment. Importantly, all existing Teranet contracts remain valid, and customers will soon receive detailed information about the next steps. This collaboration underscores the commitment of both companies to provide cutting-edge fibre-optic technology, driving digital transformation across southwest Germany.

https://lnkd.in/eHDiVdVJ 3GPP can be a difficult environment to operate in, 15 working groups running under 3 plenaries, 100’s of companies submitting 1000’s of input contributions every few months. How do you find anything? We are now 26 years on from the first meetings in 1998, the archive has over 1.5 million TDocs. Step in AI, what if I could do semantic searches? What if I could take patent claims and look for CRs that are similar? What if I could look at trends on work items, or specs, or companies? Well, Iprova have done just that, the Standards Module in Invention Studioevo+ Having been active in 3GPP since the start, chairing, being lead delegate, running a team of the best engineers in the business, I know my way around. Give me a concept and I can find when it was introduced, which specs to look in, and who did what. When I was offered a trial license, I was a little sceptical that any tool would be better than me, but it was. You still need to know the basics (excellent training material on the ETSI and 3GPP websites) but I am now a convert. Like any AI tool it takes a bit of trial and error to formulate the questions, but after a few minutes it was pulling up TDocs I would not have found myself. I would highly recommend standards delegates, patent experts, standards managers getting a license and giving it ago.
