For information and communications technology (ICT) professionals...

The BEAD Program offers one of the most significant opportunities for states and network providers to work together to make broadband for everyone a reality. This brings new challenges in determining the best path to connecting our homes, especially in rural areas. Regardless of the architecture, at the heart of every network is fiber and the goal is to get fiber all the way to the premise wherever possible. In this webinar we will explore why different environments and housing densities will necessitate different fiber access network architectures, the details and benefits of those architectures, and other considerations to address deployment challenges given a constrained fiber-skilled labor pool.

Speakers will include:

Craig Culwell, Director, Market Development – Network Connectivity & Cable, CommScope
John Greene, CEO, New Lisbon Holdings
Christopher Barnes, Senior Grants Development Consultant, Grants Office, LLC 

Attendees will learn about the various fiber broadband network architectures and common environmental and population density factors that will shape the best solutions for states to connect unserved and underserved regions of the country.

Buildings need robust network infrastructure to become smart. A smart building network acts as the central nervous system that provides the critical connections between all the devices, sensors, systems, and occupants and allows them to communicate. Without a reliable, 24x7 available and secure network, the flow of data between the crucial functions of a building would not be possible. With the right network technology in place, the combination of building systems, including building security, HVAC, environmental sensors, lighting, and networking devices are now all be centrally orchestrated across the building’s network infrastructure. This helps building owners and managers address business objectives such as Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) and new operational efficiencies while providing a more desirable, healthy, and enjoyable indoor environment.  
This webinar will explore various elements and considerations of the smart building network infrastructure based on the technical assessment criteria developed by members of TIA for the SPIRE Smart Building Assessment and Verification Program by UL.
This includes but is not limited to:
• Cabling Infrastructure
• Wireless Coverage
• Expansion & Future Readiness
• Network Infrastructure Security
• Network Resilience

TIA-942 el standard de Centros de Datos y Como certificarse

Globally, data center networks are evolving rapidly to deliver capacity as quickly and efficiently as possible. With 400G, 800G and soon 1.6T switch ports using 100G or 200G lanes, Hyperscale and Cloud providers continue to raise the bar to enhance their customer’s online experience. Critical to that mission is the ability of data centers to scale to meet demands cost-effectively while reducing or maintaining transaction times. These large providers accelerate standards’ development and their needs drive related eco-systems to develop and adapt. Data rates are increasing as are fibers per port. Networks are flattening to improve responsiveness and redundancy. Is the timing right to jump from duplex to parallel applications?
 
This webinar will highlight catalysts and trends impacting network evolution along with efficiencies that are rapidly developing to improve the data center footprint. From ASICs within the switch through fiber cabling and connectivity innovations, changes that enable and provide benefits not easily achievable through legacy options will be reviewed.
