November Tech Roundup from EPS Global Share on Written by: EPS Global 12/1/2022 What's New? Making the Switch: Why Service Providers and Telcos are Embracing Open Disaggregated Networking Total global mobile data traffic – excluding traffic generated by fixed wireless access – reached around 67 exabytes per month by the end of 2021. This is projected to quadruple to reach 282 exabytes per month in 2027. Demand for data shows no signs of slowing and network operators are challenged every day with the need to deliver massive scale and new services—all at lower costs. One solution, which is proving successful, is a switch to open disaggregated networking. So why are service providers and telcos making the switch? Listen Now 2023: IoT Security Landscape In the last quarter of this year malware targeting IoT devices doubled in frequency. This increase in attacks has been coupled with a tightening of IoT Security legislation in the UK, US and EU. The message is simple: don't get left behind. Listen to the full podcast of our chat with Haydn Povey, Chief Strategy Officer with IAR Systems about the IoT Security Landscape heading into 2023. Listen Now Unboxing Edgecore's AS4630-54NPE (EPS203) - 510G Ethernet Switch In the latest unboxing video, Chris Walsh, Technical Sales Representative for EPS Global on the East Coast takes a look at Edgecore's AS4630-54NPE (EPS203), a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet Layer 3 switch featuring 54 ports (36x 10/100/1000/2.5G ports, 12x 10GBASE-T ports , 4x 25G uplink ports and 2x 100G QSFP28). Watch Now DENOG14 FTTH Workshop Earlier this month as part of the DENOG14 conference in Hamburg, we held a workshop with our partners Edgecore, IP Infusion, Radisys, and RtBrick demonstrating an open, disaggregated, XGS-PON network from the central office to the subscriber's home, compromised of the ONT to OLT, aggregation of OLTs, vBNG, routing, and transport to the core. View Products from Workshop Media Center Edgecore Hyper Cloud Appliance - CSP-7550 Server-switch The CSP-7550 is a combination server-switch hardware appliance based on 8 or 16-core Intel Xeon processors. The switch system includes 32x QSFP28 (100GbE) network ports based on a P4 programmable Intel Tofino chipset,all contained within a single 2RU chassis form-factor. Watch Now Redefining the Economics of Coherent Optical Edge Transport by DZS Rising demand is accelerating the rollout of high-bandwidth services like 10 Gigabit Symmetrical Passive Optical Networking (XGS-PON) for broadband access and 5G xHaul mobile transport, fueling explosive growth in capacity requirements at the network edge. With this exponentially greater bandwidth demand at the edge comes the imperative for parallel growth in middle mile/transport throughput. If your network isn’t there yet it soon will be, with 25G PON on the horizon and 50G PON and even 100G PON not far off.
