Compressed Air Cleaning Issues for Fiber-Optic Connections

Overview The majority of measurement variation and repeatability problems in single mode and multimode fiber-optic connections are traced to the cleanliness of the optical path. Available optical power and back reflectance performance is particularly affected by this issue. This white paper discusses some of the cleaning issues that encountered when using compressed air as a method of cleaning a fiber-optic device. Anyone involved with the installation, repair, or replacement of fiber-optic connections or products that have or use fiber-optic connections should review this white paper.

Citywide wi-fi: More tricky than it sounds

We do see some variation in speed among customers," he said. What's more, putting radios on utility poles and lampposts is much less expensive than digging up streets to lay fibre-optic cable. Since wi-fi operates in an unlicensed band of spectrum...

The company has developed highly complex algorithms which modify the hologram to achieve instant correction and a focused rectangular image at various distances without ever needing to adjust the optical path.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
