Switches: Stacking/grouping/virtualization techniques
This blog post is the first in a series in which we will analyze the most notable technologies that we should take into account when selecting switches. Its aim is not to give a comprehensive description or follow any “didactic” order. One of the main characteristics of professional switches is the feature known as stacking, grouping or virtualization. Different manufacturers refer to this...
5G opens diverse FWA market opportunities
5G’s superior performance makes it a truly enabling technology for FWA – but its exact capabilities depend on how it uses its available spectrum. This post looks at 5G possibilities and their impact on the 5G FWA market. ‘5G FWA’ is a somewhat minimal phrase, yet unpacking it reveals much about the present and future of high-performance telecommunications. FWA, or fixed wireless access, is not...
