Demands for bandwidth-intensive, data-driven services are fueling a rise in compute, data storage, and networking capabilities. These rises put pressure on connectors and cable to deliver data at higher speeds with better signals and less heat.

At OFC 2022, OIF demonstrated products from several companies communicating with each other based on a standard for interoperable coherent optics. Other demonstrations included a 112 Gb/sec electrical link, flexible Ethernet, co-packaging, and a 224 Gb/sec technology proposal.

Modulation and polarization multiply data capacity on optical networks. In the beginning of optical networks, all optical signals were based on a simple mechanism known as on-off keying (OOK). In simple terms, this mechanism works by switching a light on and off to transmit data. OOK is a wider definition for representing whether data is…

ZNrun software from Rohde & Schwarz automates Ethernet cable testing in combination with a VNA and switch.

In-building wireless boosts cellular performance across any frequency band, even for low-band frequencies that can penetrate buildings.

Benetel’s RAN650 operates in the n77u band, which covers CBRS and other private network frequencies. It’s compliant with O-RAN fronthaul specifications.

As the tugboat Nellie Bly circumnavigated Denmark, engineers and a remote crew kept an eye on the vessel from a control room in Boston. A 4G connection provided the internet connectivity. These videos bring you into the control room. Autonomous sea vessels show promise as the next step in water navigation. Of course, such vessels…

Aviwest designs 5G wireless modules into its video communications products, bringing video wirelessly from cameras to production rooms.

The RCO-6000-CFL family of rugged computers from Premio feature dual SIM connectivity and a choice of I/O ports.

The Lightpass-EOB 100G from I-Pex shortens PCB traces, thus improving BER.
