Google (www.google.com) says they’re going to invest in an “experimental” gigabit to the home network for anywhere between 50,000 to 500,000 subscribers. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this the same Google that said they were going to bid on 700 MHz wireless spectrum a couple of years ago? Let’s look at the details on [...] Cable provider Optimum Lightpath is now offering 40 Gigabit optical transport to its customers and offers hints that it will up speeds further in the “foreseeable future.” No big surprise that financial traders were highlighted in the press release among the users in Optimum’s footprint needing high-bandwidth and “extremely low latency.” Customers are expected to tap [...] Shoveling out from under the backlog of CES, I saw two very different pieces of technology that will likely be tied together by next January. And they involve your car and your TV. GM’s Chevy Volt (www.gm.com), the electric car that will save America (OK, maybe not, but you get it), has some onboard smarts that [...] Most of my time over the past couple of weeks has been spent on HD Voice issues (www.hdvoicenews.com) and preparing for the HD Voice Summit at 2010 CES. This week I will be out in Las Vegas and will likely be spending most of my Twitter-Time on HDvoicenews, but there will be some DougonIPComm traffic as [...] The walking corpse of Nortel has entered into a “stalking horse” asset sale agreement with GENBAND for most of Nortel’s Carrier VoIP and Application Solutions (CVAS) business. It’s a deal that’s almost as interesting as last year’s “purchase” of Sylantro by BroadSoft. (translation = VERY). Under the deal — with a big “BUT” – GENBAND would [...] Yes Virginia, this is the last of the ADTRAN photos. This set covers the network and software testing labs; up “stack” beyond the physical layer if you prefer… The poster below does a good job illustrating the different types of testing that network products go through.
You’ll notice there’s a lot of different testing [...] ADTRAN does an insane amount of in-house testing on the devices it builds. The physical testing that prototype devices undergo is, frankly, mind boggling. A peek into the high-voltage (lightening) test lab. Equipment has to take a couple of good hits from a lightening strike without catching on fire; note the [...] Continuing to demonstrate that, yes, technology is good, Verizon has announced the deployment of a 100G optical long haul circuit in Europe. The circuit/gear was deployed on the company’s European optical network between Paris and Frankfurt (and why do the Europeans get the good stuff first?). Needless to say, this is the first time for [...] |
