Tom Reid: Common-Sense Solutions to Closing the Digital Divide in Rural America

Broadband Breakfast

We need networks designed to meet 30+ years of bandwidth growth as illustrated in the timeline below. They are struggling to meet the bandwidth needs of 2020, let alone 2055. So why accept similarly lax standards for rural broadband? The decrepit rural telecommunications infrastructure needs to be fully replaced, not patched.

vSAN Networking – Teaming for Redundancy

vmware

Designing for failure requires an understanding of how to properly cable hosts to switches, and configure the hypervisor to account for various failure conditions. Since vSAN is a distributed storage solution, the network configuration of the hosts to account for failure conditions is critical to the availability of data.

Powering the Future of Connectivity with Wavelength Services

epsilontel

They were not designed for today’s bandwidth-hungry, latency-sensitive use cases like real-time financial trading, cloud-based AI, and high-definition streaming. DWDM uses multiple wavelengths of light to transmit parallel data streams across a single fibre, maximising bandwidth without the need to lay additional cables.

Jessica Dine: So You Want BEAD to Be Tech Neutral?

Broadband Breakfast

While the capacity it provides is enough to meet the average modern household’s daily needs, the capacity fiber provides is more likely to be sufficient in the future as consumer bandwidth needs increase. While LEO systems are more reliable than cable connections, fiber  outperforms them both.

Agentic AI and the Future of Communications for Autonomous Vehicle (V2X)

IEEE ComSoc

Of critical importance for this approach is Agentic AI —a distributed intelligence model based on the Object, Orient, Decide, and Act (OODA) loop—that enhances adaptability, collaboration, and security across the V2X stack. Agents equipped with cognitive capabilities enhance system robustness against 5G performance limitations or outages.

Bridging AI and global connectivity: The rise of hybrid cable landing stations and the shift beyond hyperscalers

Total Telecom

Driven by traditional hyperscalers with large-scale training clusters, emerging efficiency gains are shifting demand toward smaller, more distributed inference deployments. Meanwhile, demands for connectivity continue to rise globally, demanding infrastructure that best minimizes latency and improves data distribution.

The future evolution of ODN technologies

Total Telecom

Contributed Article The optical distribution network (ODN) is a point-to-multipoint passive optical network (PON), as shown in FIG. In traditional ODN construction, the feeder optical cables, distribution optical cables, and drop cables are stripped or terminated onsite for fiber connection.
