In the rapidly evolving world of AI data centers, VIAVI Solutions is at the forefront with its innovative enhancements to the MAP testing platform. One standout feature is Enhanced Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR), a software addition to the PCT infrastructure that simplifies and accelerates fiber optic testing. What is Enhanced TDR? Enhanced TDR is designed […]
On August 1, 2025, VIAVI attended the grand opening of the Open RAN Laboratory at the University of the Philippines (UP), the first VALOR satellite lab based in the Philippines. The ORAN Lab at UP is based on the VIAVI Automated Lab-as-a-Service for Open RAN (VALOR™) and is funded by the US government in collaboration with UP Diliman […]
For decades, mobile network operators have been constrained by a tightly integrated vendor ecosystem, with limited choice, flexibility, and innovation. Open RAN (Radio Access Network) is fundamentally reshaping this paradigm. By decoupling hardware and software and promoting open interfaces, Open RAN empowers operators with greater control, agility, and the ability to foster a more competitive […]
I had the opportunity to attend the ETSI Quantum Safe Cryptography Conference in Madrid recently, a gathering that brought together global leaders in cryptography, telecom, finance, and cloud to discuss the path to a quantum-safe future. The event was rich with technical insights, but more importantly, I had the chance to connect with key stakeholders […]
Land mobile radio (LMR) technologies, which provide public safety radio access, play a vital role in our lives. They enable emergency services to coordinate incidents, access critical data, and ensure personnel safety through reliable voice and data communications. In the United States, the P25 (Project 25) standard is used for public safety communications. P25 supports […]
Digital twins — virtual models of physical systems like 6G, NTN, and 5G — make it possible to simulate, analyze, and optimize all network systems and components, including their non-terrestrial elements. This is especially useful for accelerating rollouts and identifying bottlenecks and drawbacks before they become real problems. In this two-part blog series, we will […]

This year’s IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC) is nearly upon us. The event takes the overall theme of “Communications Technologies 4Good”, with papers and presentations looking into not just the future of communications and how AI/robotics can supercharge it, but also technology solutions that can be used for public safety. VIAVI is highly active […]
Network Operations (NetOps) and Security Operations (SecOps) teams once sat on opposite sides of the channel, unwittingly pulling the same rope. The uptime and connectivity lauded by NetOps professionals and the threat detection and prevention goals of dedicated SecOps teams have always complemented one another, even when the methods, tools, and workflows were decidedly different. […]
A generation ago, adding more gauges, dials, and displays to car dashboards was all the rage, with data-hungry drivers anxiously monitoring vehicle performance and efficiency from the comfort of the driver’s seat. Today, we have come full circle, with unified displays presenting more information while distilling it in a way that lets us keep our […]
