Leveraging Cisco Wireless Technology to Keep Patients Safe

Understanding 5G and its impact on fiber networks is essential as the next generation of wireless technology is deployed in the coming years. While 5G promises to help revolutionize Smart Cities, IoT, and autonomous vehicles, direct fiber connections to homes, businesses, and institutions will continue to grow. A dense blanket of 5G radios deployed outdoors, on buildings, and in buildings will be required to support 5G, and industry consensus is that fiber will connect most of these radios to the network. Learn how fiber networks can be designed and deployed to support FTTx, 4G, and 5G on a single fiber network platform, using new compact optical fiber cabling systems that help overcome the barriers to deploying fiber both to buildings and in buildings.

When troubleshooting sporadic issues in high-speed environments, it can be difficult to successfully capture and resolve the problem. Chris Greer, professional packet analyst, presents a dual-pronged strategy to improve visibility and troubleshooting by understanding the best circumstances to use software and hardware capture and monitoring.

Data – it’s what makes the world go round today. From website analytics to IoT devices, the number of data points businesses absorb through their customers is incredible. IDC (News - Alert) has predicted that by 2025, the world will be generating almost half a Zettabyte of data each day by 2025. To put that into terms most people understand, one Zettabyte is equal to a billion Terabytes. Assuming laptops about a foot in width with a 1 TB drive, lining up a billion laptops side by side would cover 189,000 miles – almost 80% of the distance to the moon!

Private wireless networks have become the hot topic in the wireless industry. There’s a huge surge of interest in private and enterprise deployments of LTE. Industrial sites, transport hubs, sports venues and even offices and hotels are looking at obtaining local spectrum and using dedicated wireless networks.
