Google and SubCom are turning to space-division multiplexing within their new Dunant cable. The pair is angling to engineer the fastest fiber-optic cable of it's kind. (We can talk about whether or not new submarine cables are really giving us faster internet another time.)
Even as coherent modem technology continues to innovate, the amount of data that can be carried over today’s networks shows no signs of slowing.
Despite all this modem magic, we can’t ignore the laws of physics. We’re quickly approaching the Shannon Limit–the maximum information-carrying capacity of a submarine cable optical fiber pair.
What new alternatives are on the horizon to side-step this inevitability?
Wow—a lot of submarine cable news this month.
From a deep dive into global communication from the New York Times to the Wall Street Journal's exploration of the Huawei case, there's a lot for any telecom fiend to take in.
We'll keep the fanfare brief. Keep scrolling to read these stories, as well as a Popular Science post about a new internet speed record, Bloomberg's profile on big tech in telecom, and the best SD-WAN conversation you'll hear all week.
Last month we welcomed our 2019 Submarine Cable Map into the world. This new edition is all about the building boom.
Our 2019 infographics single out the economics of new cables, investors, bandwidth demand, and—of course—a closer look at how content providers are getting involved.
We've written about the cloud, the rise of SD-WAN, and networking pricing trends. And our new WAN Manager Survey is a treasure trove of analysis about the challenges faced by modern networking professionals.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could access all of this exclusive content in one spot?
Great news. Today we're launching the WAN Manager Digest. This exclusive subscription for enterprise professionals bundles our most popular WAN resources into one easy online membership.
There's been plenty of talk about the vital importance of edge as it relates to new types of network configurations. We're anticipating plenty of new applications coming down the pike, from 5G to all things AI.
This was on Jon Hjembo's mind as he explored TeleGeography's take on the edge during our annual telecom workshop last month.
As another month of 2019 comes to a close, we're looking back at the telecom headlines that caught our attention in February.
Our top pick is about Google's big plans for 2019—$13 billion worth of plans, to be exact. Take a look at the Lightwave article below to see what we're talking about.
We've also got 5G news, the latest on Huawei, and some Irish internet history. A little something for everyone this month—enjoy.
What would Doc Brown do? This might be a weird question to ponder at a TeleGeography telecom workshop. But here we are.
During this year's annual telecom rundown at PTC, Research Director Alan Mauldin took the audience time hopping through bandwidth demand drivers, interregional routing changes, cable landings, cable investments, and future cable requirements.
