Flexible 5G/LTE backup connectivity: rethinking the role of wireless WAN

Flexible 5G/LTE backup connectivity: rethinking the role of wireless WAN

For more than two decades, mobile networks have served as the safety net for enterprise WAN environments. From the early days of GPRS modems to today’s 5G Standalone (SA) connections, the core idea has always remained the same: if the wired link fails, the cellular link takes over. However, while the underlying concept remains unchanged, backup connectivity strategies have undergone a dramatic...

All 5G’s Are Born Equal, But Some Are More Equal Than Others

All 5G’s Are Born Equal, But Some Are More Equal Than Others

When 5G entered the public conversation, it did so with grand ambitions. Ultra-fast speeds. Near-zero latency. A technology poised to reshape everything from factory automation to healthcare delivery. For most users, however, the experience boiled down to something far more modest: a slightly faster mobile connection and a new icon on their phone. That gap between promise and perception is not...

All gigabit accesses are born (free?) and equal…

When gigabit accesses are mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind for most of us (especially in Spain) is a fibre-optic access network for speeds beyond 50Mb. Carriers take the optical fibre to your home, install an ONT and that’s it. Customers can choose between 100Mbps, 300Mbps, 600Mbps and even 1Gbps plans, depending on what they’re willing to pay. If there is no fibre coverage at your...

What an old copper pair (and a bargeman) can do for you

What an old copper pair (and a bargeman) can do for you

DSL technology today gives connection speeds greater than 100Mbps over a support that initially appeared far humbler and limited to the long forgotten 33Kbps: a pair of copper wires. How is this possible? When conventional telephone lines - POTS – Plain Old Telephone System - were originally deployed, their only task was to transport acceptable quality of voice (from 100Hz up to 17KHz using a...
