In a previous article we looked at how to mathematically calculate the reliability of electronic equipment. That is, the probability of it working correctly for a given period of time. This is best characterised by the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), or its opposite, Failure In Time (FIT). MTBF values are often in the order of hundreds of thousands of hours for electronic equipment. Source:...
The Importance of Technological Outreach
In today’s intricately connected and fast-paced business landscape, the evolution of business development extends beyond individual operations. Associations for strategic partnerships and organizational collaborations have emerged as pivotal elements for sustained, long-term growth.

QoS in SD-WAN networks
Citius, Altius, Fortius (“quicker, higher, stronger”), is the Olympic motto that pushes athletes to give their utmost while competing. With dozens, or even hundreds, of applications in fixed or mobile devices, all connected at the same time and competing for bandwidth, one might say the telecommunications sector is almost as competitive as the sports world. This competition grows when several...
Digital Transformation and Fiber Deployment in Europe
The digital transformation in the decade between 2020 and 2030 is clearly a priority for EU authorities. Large public investments have been approved to help provide high-capacity communications networks and prepare for the wave of innovation from new Artificial Intelligence - AI technologies or immersive applications. Each EU country must dedicate 20% of the expenditure of its Recovery and...
CAD / CAM / CAE technologies
The acronym CAD comes from the English expression Computer Aided Design. It involves the use of computer technology to aid in the design of a product. In the case that concerns us now, it would involve designing housings for communications devices. In short, CAD is the drawing or graphical tool that replaces the traditional drawing board in drafting the design object. CAD, CAM, CAE CAM is an...
CSMA and media access control
Si dividimos un sistema de comunicación genérico en sus partes más “simples” podemos distinguir cuatro elementos: Un emisor, un receptor, un mensaje y un medio o canal para comunicarlo. Uno de los problemas que surgen desde que se establece la comunicación es el acceso al medio. Cuando tenemos un canal de comunicación compartido entre varios usuarios o estaciones es necesario contar con un...
