On March 6th, researchers from the University of St. Andrews’ School of Physics and Astronomy developed a laser measurement technology that could have major implications for the fiber optics space.

As a fiber network operator, understanding how to design and deploy fiber to the home (FTTH) networks can create a huge advantage in the market.

The underlying technology has been around for decades. However, not until recently has it made economic sense for developers to build FTTH networks on a wide scale.

Now is the time to strike.

OSPInsight International Inc. is pleased to announce the release of OSPInsight Web 9—The Future of Fiber Management. For fiber network operators, OSPInsight Web 9 provides the tools and workflows necessary to know and understand a fiber network, troubleshoot fiber breaks, and analyze excess capacity to ensure a profitable outside plant.

5G networks are fast approaching.

With 5G comes new-age bandwidth, increased speeds, and lower latencies. The next generation of cellular mobile communications will facilitate incredible technological innovation, including artificial intelligence and augmented reality.

A push for mobile 5G network services is coming from the top. The VERY top.

President Donald Trump recently challenged American companies over Twitter to “step up their efforts” with respect to 5G deployment. By doing so, he believes the U.S. would lead the world in next-gen data services and reaffirm its position as a global, innovative powerhouse.

Google Fiber recently announced that it is leaving a partially built fiber network behind in Louisville, Kentucky. On April 15, the company will shut off fiber network service that originally began in October 2017 for good.

Thank you for attending the OSPInsight Edit 8.5 webinar on February 7th. We are happy to announce that a recording of the Webinar is now live.

On a recent fourth quarter earnings call, Nokia CEO, Rajeev Suri, warned investors of a slow start to 2019 due to staggered 5G network rollouts.

After tallying a fourth quarter net profit of $852M, Nokia’s stock dropped 7% as a result of Suri’s comments. The company’s performance, however, is expected to pick-up, in the back half of the year.

Qualifying development opportunities quickly is incredibly important when trying to win business in the fiber network space. Sales professionals need to be able to estimate project costs with relative ease without relying on the help and expertise of network engineers.

With the release of OSPInsight Edit 8.5, we’ve launched a powerful set of work order management tools that will help clients more effectively plan and design their fiber optic networks.

Users can now build task lists, estimate costs, and organize materials related to potential future developments, all within our software-based platform. In this article, we provide a brief overview of how we now support work order management through a single consolidated experience.
