Li-Fi is a relatively new connection method pioneered by Researcher Harald Hass from the University of Edinburgh that can connect users to the internet using LED Lights. But researchers from Pukyong National University seek to research and adapt this new technology for medical usage. Successful Li-Fi implementation in hospital environments will make it possible to […]
Versa Technology is proud to announce that we will now be helping businesses convert their Ethernet networks into fiber networks with our new micro-media converter series. Our micro-media converters boast a small form factor ideal for tight spaces. These units support 100FX, 100 FX SFP, or 1000 FX SFP interfaces in Fast Ethernet (FE) and […]
Maintaining wiring closets cool is an integral step in preserving the reliability and durability of network and telecom equipment. Condensation, ventilation, and air conditioning are three common methods used to help regulate temperature in wiring closets. This infographic shows these 3 options to keep in mind when building a wiring closet. While air conditioning can […]
The Ethernet Alliance has revealed a standardization road map indicating that by the end of 2020, a total of 6 new standards will support the growing demand for bandwidth in residential, enterprise, and data center environments. This handful of standards indicates that the evolution of Ethernet has strayed from the once linear tenfold pursuit of […]
The IEEE Communications Society, the IEEE Phototonics Society, and the Optical Society Association will be sponsoring the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition (OFC) on March 22nd-26th. The exposition itself will be taking place on March 24th-26th. The conference will report on the latest breakthroughs in the fiber optics and photonics industry. Ranked as the […]
Cisco predicts there will be 50 billion devices connected to the internet by 2020. In the meantime, the Institute of Electrical Engineers, also known as the IEEE, prepares for the bandwidth overload by projecting future needs and specifying the standards that will optimize core networks and Local Area Networks (LAN). This community of scientists and engineers […]
IEEE recently held a plenary this month in San Antonia, Texas that resulted in the addition of two more study groups–Enterprise Access BASE-T and 25GBASE-T for 25GE server connections. Out of 131 members who attended the plenary, 97 voted to move forward with the project and only 1 voted against it while 23 abstained to […]
Landlines have not yet become obsolete. But businesses are implementing VoIP more than ever because it is a scalable solution that eliminates the electrical costs of installing additional telephone circuits. With power and data delivered via an Ethernet cable, businesses are making the upgrade at an increasing rate.
Last week, The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that it plans to invest $2 billion over the next two years to ensure that our public school students have high-speed internet connectivity and wi-fi access. Obama administration’s ConnectED initiative aims to bring high-speed internet and wi-fi access to 99% of America’s students. Technology has increasingly made […]
When it comes to maintaining a network, businesses need to assess their network demands to determine the right type of PoE. They can choose between unmanaged POE switches or managed POE switches. Unmanaged POE switches are relatively inexpensive and their fixed configuration makes it easy to install the ‘plug and play’ device. That is not […]
