Free Space Optics: A Critical Technology for Space and Terrestrial Communications Free Space Optics (FSO), also known as optical wireless communication, is a method of transmitting data using light propagating through open space rather than through fiber-optic cables. Although the concept has existed for decades, advances...
Is AI in a Bubble? Exploring Real-World Impact in Optical Networking The conversation around artificial intelligence (AI) is buzzing. Headlines often ask: Is AI in a bubble? Investors and industry insiders wonder whether today’s surge in AI hype and investment is sustainable, or if a market...
Starlink’s $17 Billion Spectrum Play: Can SpaceX Really Disrupt Telecommunications? SpaceX is making waves in the telecom world with a bold move that could change how we connect to the internet and our phones. By investing $17 billion in wireless spectrum, the company behind Starlink is...
Beneath the Waves: How Undersea Fiber Optic Cables Keep the World Connected In today’s hyper-connected digital world, it’s easy to imagine the internet as a cloud of invisible signals transmitted wirelessly through the air. Yet, the reality is far more remarkable — the majority of our...
Certified Optical Network Associate (CONA) – Introductory Optical Networking Training The explosive growth in bandwidth demand is putting increasing pressure on optical communication networks, making them more complex and driving a strong need for well-trained optical network engineers. For recent graduates, technicians, and engineers looking to...
Understanding Optical Networking: How Light Powers the Digital World In today’s hyper-connected world, optical networking forms the backbone of global internet and data communication. It enables high-speed data transmission across continents using light signals instead of traditional electrical signals. From cloud computing and AI to streaming...
The world is hungry for speed, efficiency, and seamless connectivity—and that means one thing: the demand for bandwidth is exploding. From the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G networks to streaming platforms and cloud computing, data traffic is growing at an unprecedented rate. Every...
Just a few years after the widespread rollout of 1 Gigabit Internet, 10 Gigabit broadband—also known as 10 Gbps Internet—is becoming the next big leap in ultra-fast connectivity. Providers like Google Fiber, Xfinity, Mediacom, and Armstrong are already offering this next-generation service in select markets...
The internet is often described simply as “a network of networks,” but that barely begins to capture how all the pieces—servers, switches, providers, access networks and packet routing—fit together to allow you to send an email or watch a video in real time. In this...
As artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and machine learning continue to push data centers to their limits, traditional pluggable optical transceivers are starting to show their age. The rise of Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) promises to change that — bringing optics closer to the silicon and...
