2014 Annual Technology Forecast

2013 年 5 月 2 日 Fiber Optic Test Equipment No comments

From a technology perspective, silicon photonics became a bogeyman for some and a fairy godmother for others, depending on whether you were working on the technology or not. Software-defined networking (SDN) vied with silicon photonics for “Buzzword of the Year,” while network functions virtualization (NFV) tagged along for the ride. And all the noise made last year about colorless/directionless/contentionless ROADMs died down.
The deployment of 100-Gbps technology kicked into high gear – except in the data center, where 40 Gbps is just getting established. Nevertheless, the IEEE determined that it’s not too early to begin thinking about what comes next and decided it’s 400 Gigabit Ethernet. In carrier networks, a small handful of companies offered 400 Gbps, but carriers started to talk about breaking that in half and deploying 200 Gbps. Read more

Fiber Optic Fusion Splicers and How They Work

2012 年 5 月 21 日 Fiber Optic Test Equipment No comments

What is a fiber optic fusion splicer?

A fiber optic fusion splicer is a device that uses an electric arc to melt two optical fibers together at their end faces, to form a single long fiber. The resulting joint, or fusion splice, permanently joins the two glass fibers end to end, so that optical light signals can pass from one fiber into the other with very little loss.

How does a fusion splicer work?

Before optical fibers can be successfully fusion-spliced, they need to be carefully stripped of their outer jackets and polymer coating, thoroughly cleaned, and then precisely cleaved to form smooth, perpendicular end faces. Once all of this has been completed, each fiber is placed into a holder in the splicer’s enclosure. From this point on, the fiber optic fusion splicer takes over the rest of the process, which involves 3 steps:

 

  • Alignment: Using small, precise motors, the fusion splicer makes minute adjustments to the fibers’ positions until they’re properly aligned, so the finished splice will be as seamless and attenuation-free as possible. During the alignment process, the fiber optic technician is able to view the fiber alignment, thanks to magnification by optical power meter, video camera, or viewing scope.

 

  • Impurity Burn-Off: Since the slightest trace of dust or other impurities can wreak havoc on a splice’s ability to transmit optical signals, you can never be too clean when it comes to fusion splicing. Even though fibers are hand-cleaned before being inserted into the splicing device, many fusion splicers incorporate an extra precautionary cleaning step into the process: prior to fusing, they generate a small spark between the fiber ends to burn off any remaining dust or moisture.

 

  • Fusion: After fibers have been properly positioned and any remaining moisture and dust have been burned off, it’s time to fuse the fibers ends together to form a permanent splice. The splicer emits a second, larger spark that melts the optical fiber end faces without causing the fibers’ cladding and molten glass core to run together (keeping the cladding and core separate is vital for a good splice – it minimizes optical loss). The melted fiber tips are then joined together, forming the final fusion splice. Estimated splice-loss tests are then performed, with most fiber fusion splices showing a typical optical loss of 0.1 dB or less.

SYOPTEK brings the fiber optics industry a new and exciting choice in high quality, dependable, and full-featured fusion splicer and test equipment.

Report: Security systems integration market could exceed $30B

2012 年 5 月 21 日 Fiber Tools No comments

IMS Research forecasts that the Americas market for security systems integration will exceed $30 billion in 2016, and will grow at an average rate of more than 7 percent from 2011 until then. The firm’s new report, which focuses on the installation and maintenance of security systems in the Americas region, finds that the U.S. is forecast to remain the largest market in the Americas throughout this time. However, faster growth is forecast for Latin America countries such as Brazil.

“The Latin America market is a really exciting place right now for systems integration,” comments Paul Bremner, IMS Research market analyst and the report’s author. “A lot of technology providers are trying to establish themselves in this marketplace, including the large international systems integrators. In the U.S., it’s a different picture entirely, and I believe we’re seeing the start of consolidation.”

The Americas security systems integration market remains highly competitive, notes the research, with the largest five integrators accounting for less than 20 percent of the market. The market is seen as even more fragmented in some Latin American countries. Further, competition appears to be increasing, with traditional IT integrators entering the security market and taking market share away from the established security systems integrators.

IMS’s Bremner continues, “The security systems integration competitive environment is really interesting because the range of companies in the market is huge. At one end there are the enterprise integrators, like Johnson Controls and Siemens. At the other end, are five-man companies serving a product or geographic market niche.”

Report: Need for smart city communications infrastructure growing rapidly

-0001 年 11 月 30 日 Learning Center No comments

Worldwide shipments of communications nodes for ‘smart city’ networks will grow from 16.3 million annually in 2014 to 54.8 million in 2020, according to a recent report from market research firm Navigant Research. Ubiquitous and embedded communication services lie at the heart of the innovations in energy, transportation, and the efficient delivery of public services associated with smart cities, Navigant says. Without the underlying communication infrastructure, the smart city vision cannot be realized, the research firm points out.

“Growth in smart city communications systems is being driven largely by innovations in the core elements of the urban environment, including energy, water, transportation, buildings, and public services,” fiber optic cleaning kit says Eric Woods, research director with Navigant Research. “The grand vision is of a multi-layered, multi-application network that will support rapid innovation at the edge while also providing a robust and scalable backend infrastructure for data transmission and overall network management.”

While some common communications technologies are used across sectors and departments, there is significant variation in ownership of the communications infrastructure, notes Navigant. Municipalities and other public agencies, utilities, private contractors, and communications service providers all have a role to play, finds the report. The diversity of ownership is a major factor leading to fragmentation in the communication infrastructure, Navigant asserts. fiber optic cleaning That fragmentation must be overcome, according to the report, for smart cities to achieve their full potential.

The report, Smart City Communication Networks, analyzes the challenges and opportunities for smart city communication networks, with a focus on the five main sectors: smart energy, smart transportation, smart water, smart buildings, and smart government. The report explores the market issues and dynamics associated with smart city communications and covers the viewpoint of communication service providers, communication infrastructure vendors, IT vendors, and city governments.

Global market forecasts for communication node shipments, infrastructure revenue, and service revenue, segmented by region, sector, communication type, and network layer, extend through 2020. fiber optic tools The report also examines the key communication technologies related to smart city communication infrastructure, as well as the competitive landscape.
