On this fine Flashback Friday, I'm thinking about cell phones and how they came to be.
As workload migration to the cloud becomes the standard, enterprises are redesigning their WAN backbones to ameliorate internet performance.
However, improving your internet performance isn’t so easy-breezy when you're wrestling with unknowns—like the perfect combination of broadband and direct internet access or the right ISPs to modernize your network with.
TeleGeography Senior Manager Greg Bryan will join Singtel on December 1 at 10:30 a.m. SGT for a live discussion on this topic.
Specifically, which applications and network operators have latency on their minds?
Well, content providers, gaming companies, financial enterprises, and cloud service providers, to name a few.
TeleGeography Senior Analyst Paul Brodsky recently joined experts from Ciena and Angola Cables for an hour-long discussion centered around Connecting to Africa with Low-Latency Services.
In honor of spooky season, our list of October reading recs begins with a scary story. (Spoiler alert: Facebook died and—like a zombie—rose from the dead hours later.)
The best horror stories are the ones that are true, after all.
In other Facebook news, the company is shelling out money to support yet another submarine cable.
What else?
Comcast Business is investing in network updates in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. Ethernet is experiencing a real need for speed. And Lynk’s new network may give your ordinary phone satellite connection capabilities.
Read on if you dare.
Over the last decade, there has been substantial growth in demand for international bandwidth on major subsea cable routes.
In response to this rapid pace of demand growth (our research implies that demand is more than doubling every two years), there are over $2 billion of new cables entering service this year alone.
In short, demand is going up and we're seeing new cables.
This all makes sense.
But who is actually using this capacity? And will international demand continue to grow so expeditiously?
The internet has been buzzing this month.
What cut through the noise and captivated us in September?
First and foremost, a coder adapted our renowned Submarine Cable Map into a neat 3D visualization, sparking a larger conversation about all things cables with the team over at Vice.
The COVID-19 bump is over, at least as far as internet bandwidth demand goes.
This was a recurring theme during the recent discussion "How to Improve Your IP Traffic Performance and Security: Key Trends, Challenges, and Strategies," which was a special Carrier Community webinar sponsored by the team at GTT.
As Africa fuels new submarine cable development via the world’s highest international bandwidth growth rate, African network operators are rapidly evolving from network connectivity providers to digital service providers.
This metamorphosis requires a high-performance low-latency submarine network, broad geographic coverage, and access to data center assets.
Join our own Paul Brodsky and experts from Ciena and Angola Cables on October 6 at 11:00 a.m. ET for a live discussion on this topic.
