CommScope Explains What IoT, 5G, and Smart Cities All Have In Common

MEC Digital — Mon, 18 Nov 2019 07:10:32 +0000

CommScope’s Morne Erasmus explains what IoT, 5G and smart cities all have in common.

Read any tech news story today and chances are high that you’ll see something concerning IoT, 5G or smart cities. These are all hot topics, but did you know all of them have CommScope in common?

To make things “smart” and improve overall efficiency, we connect IoT devices through a network to the cloud (and each other).

Thus, anything “smart” requires connectivity, both wired and wireless, at least in most cases. The 5G networks of the future can bring refined connectivity to these edge IoT devices with higher speeds, more machine-to-machine connections, and extremely low latencies – enabling a brand new generation of applications and use cases that we haven’t yet thought of.

Once we connect all the eyes and ears (IoT sensors) of the world to the data center brain, we can begin generating intelligent information to drive new analytics and services. As well, more processing power is shifting to the edge, with the deployment of MEC (Mobile Edge Computing) moving closer to the particular endpoints and users to enable lower-latency applications.

All of these IoT edge devices and MECs need a home near to the users, that is why we are seeing city streetlights morphing into smart poles.

Streetlights are uniquely spaced throughout the city; they provide power and altitude and are prepared for remodeling with LED replacements. Today, cities are eyeing 2 kinds of smart poles for replacing legacy streetlights:

IoT streetlight pole – A streetlight pole can support public Wi-Fi deployments, environmental sensors, gunfire detection and LED lighting control upgrades. Adding IoT edge devices transforms humble streetlight poles into smart IoT poles.
Telco pole – These are the typical small cell poles deployed by carriers or neutral hosts to support cellular connectivity in dense areas. These poles are designed for connectivity and will play a crucial role in 5G mmWave deployments. By adding IoT devices, simple telco poles become smart telco poles. With telco poles, the connectivity backbone delivering a path between the edge and also the cloud is already established, thereby enabling quicker deployments. Thanks to the larger type factor of small cell equipment, physical constraints should be an early and primary guideline for aesthetic concealment in cities.

It should be noted that smart poles are a part of a smart ecosystem and no single company can go at this alone. We are constantly asked if CommScope has any plans to create IoT sensors, software, apps or services for smart poles and our answer is “no, we need an ecosystem.” put simply, these interconnected products and services require multiple players to work harmonical to offer complex services.

This is why the industry must support an open ecosystem that enables customers to decide on their own edge devices, software, and cloud providers. This is notably important because of the long lifecycle (decades) of public projects compared to typical enterprise (years) engagements. Additionally, regulatory guidelines should also be considered.

At CommScope, we offer the physical layer for smart poles and do that exceptionally well. This starts with the fiber and copper solutions connecting all the racks inside a data center. From there, we offer outside fiber solutions to connect these data centers to the central offices (head ends) for the carriers and to the business/home or macro/metro cell tower. At these endpoints, we usually see the conversion from wireline to licensed or unlicensed spectrum wireless.

These wireless networks also are experiencing constant changes where licensed (4G/5G) and unlicensed (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa, etc.) are commencing to converge. For instance, smart buildings are expected to produce reliable cellular coverage within the building along with ubiquitous Wi-Fi and support for IoT wireless networks. Add the upcoming CBRS private networking play and we shortly realize we are building multiple networks under one roof – all delivering ones and zeros to endpoints. How can all these networks converge in the future?

By providing the connectivity piece in this advanced puzzle, CommScope adds tremendous value to the client. we will still build out our ecosystem so we can provide complete solutions with our partners. So, the next time you read something regarding IoT, 5G or smart city projects, know that we at CommScope are providing the wired and wireless connectivity to make the world even smarter with our #smartcityconnectivity

CommScope Recognized As One Of The Best In The Industry By Cabling Installation & Maintenance Innovators Award 2019

MEC Digital — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 06:03:23 +0000

Three solutions from CommScope that received 2019 Cabling Installation and Maintenance Innovations Awards

Three CommScope products and systems are recognized among the best within the industry by the 2019 Cabling Installation & Maintenance Innovators Awards. A stellar third-party judging panel, which included cabling and communications system specifiers, designers, integrators and managers with vast professional experience, selected CommScope’s Copper LC-style connector, Ceiling Connector Assembly and imVision as award winners.

CommScope was recognized as an honoree across 3 categories:

Platinum Award: IEC 63171-1 Copper LC-style connector. With billions of IoT devices expected to be deployed in workplace buildings within the next 5 years, the Copper LC-style Connector gives a cost-effective wired solution that’s simple to deploy and can provide power and secure communications to end devices while maintaining a tiny form factor to support high-density applications.

Gold Award: Ceiling Connector Assembly. The Ceiling Connector provides maximum performance, flexibility, and sturdiness with the most simplified termination to ensure high-quality results in usually challenging operating locations, like over drop ceilings. Once installed, the plug-ended link can be used to connect to cameras, access points, and alternative ceiling-mounted devices.

Silver Award: imVision Enhancements. imVision is an automated infrastructure management system that helps IT departments create astute network connectivity decisions in real-time.

Commscope: 5 Fiber Optic Connector Criteria You Should Consider

MEC Digital — Thu, 19 Sep 2019 09:12:45 +0000

When choosing fiber connectors for a job, a great deal more than the price can cost you. Many criteria should be thought of and here are a few:

Which type of technology to use?
What is the true price of the connector?
Are special tools or coaching required?
What is the quality of the termination, aka performance consistency?
How much time can it take?

When looking at which connector technology to use, you would like to gauge your customer’s priorities to consider cost, time and performance. Cost is a simple factor to look at and its importance depends on the budget for the task. during a massive project where the budget has some flexibility, the connector’s cost might not make a difference. If you have a project where the budget is tight, the cost could be what keeps your project on course.

There are some technologies (mechanical splice and fusion splice-on connectors) that are designed to save you time. That time is only saved if you’re comfy with those technologies and/or are willing to invest the time to get coaching. Time isn’t only an element in meeting project deadlines — it conjointly means hours of labor. It might affect the cost of the job or lower your hourly wage depending on how the job was bid out.

When deciding between connector technologies, performance is additionally a key factor. It’s attributed with the longevity of client happiness. If you end their project within budget and on time, but they end up having network problems, then it won’t reflect well on you.

Here are the common connector technologies:

Epoxy and Polish: Bond field fiber within connector ferrule with epoxy, then field polish.
Mechanical Splice: join field fiber to factory-terminated fiber stub using V-Groove with mechanical clamp and index matching gel.
Splice-on: Bond field fiber to factory-terminated fiber stub employing a fusion splice within the connector.
Pigtail Splicing: Bond field fiber to factory-terminated pigtail using fusion splice outside connector.
Factory Termination: Factory pre-terminated fiber

CommScope has evaluated the top technologies and created a chart for simple reference. There are typically trade-offs with every technology, therefore it’s best to understand your customer’s priorities before proceeding.

Commscope: The Building Blocks Of A Smart And Connected Campus

MEC Digital — Mon, 02 Sep 2019 08:50:37 +0000

At CommScope, we work with campuses of every kind and size: schools and universities, medical and business parks, retail centers and airports, and sprawling enterprise campuses.

A common thing among several campuses these days is the hybrid IT infrastructure connecting individuals, resources, and ideas over distance.

These smart campuses depend on a variety of sub-systems. To keep everything operational swimmingly, some of the most intensive fiber and copper structured cabling are deployed within the buildings for automated intelligence:

Fiber-based outside plant solutions and connectivity
Short-hop Power over LAN and long-span powered fiber
A mix of cellular and Wi-Fi mobility

Other campus networks could also be less diverse, but no less intelligent. The design of the infrastructure is set by the kind of campus and also the level of organization and communication required.

Form follows function

Think about massive residential area town centers with a mixture of retail outlets, restaurants, offices and residential spaces. Apart from proximity, those that work and live there have very little in common. The center exists to benefit individual tenants and residents, so the IT infrastructure can mirror that. It should embody a fiber-based outside plant network to deliver broadband services and powered fiber to feed remote lighting and security systems.

In different environments, the campus network is multifaceted and intensive. Think university campuses, medical parks and company headquarters for large companies. Such environments are driven by things like communication, information sharing, and collaboration. More than connecting the assorted areas of the campus to the data center or central network, the infrastructure should enable any-to-any communication among all facilities and users. So, having the ability to handle ultra-high fiber densities and automatically monitor all physical layer connections becomes extremely necessary. Once done properly, the field network may be a crucial tool to attain the general mission of the organizations.

Stay tuned. At CommScope, it’s our job to understand what’s next.
