The next phase of the communications network evolution will require mobile and fixed broadband networks to operate from a common network core, one that can efficiently handle all the bandwidth hungry services that 5G networks, fiber-based broadband and next-gen IoT applications can muster. It's a tall order, but network operators around the world are already well on their way to true core convergence.
Want to learn how cable operators can save up to 65% on a fiber deep or PON deployment? Read about a study that takes a fresh, new hybrid approach to network evolution that leverages FTTH.
The industry is building 5G using innovations such as service-based architecture (SBA), network functions virtualization (NFV), cloud-native computing (CNC) and software-defined networking (SDN). 5G networks will also incorporate edge clouds and network slicing technology. Read the white paper now

This paper lays out EXFO’s blueprint for such an integrated test, monitoring and analytics platform to support all aspects of CSP operations and transformations.
This paper explores the different factors that impact QoE and proposes different methods for measuring QoE and leveraging this information intelligently among different teams. Using customer case studies, we introduce meaningful QoE metrics that show how QoE-oriented network optimization contributes to intensified consumption of mobile data services, enhanced customer loyalty and increased revenues.
This white paper aims to contribute to the discussion through theoretical and practical observations related to efficient spectrum utilization.
In this white paper, we will highlight the different geolocation techniques available for mobile operators through their cellular infrastructure and generally based on radio signals transmitted and received between mobile phones and base stations.
Deploying a subsea network is a colossal enterprise—that’s why it’s so important to choose the right partner and equipment. With a complete portfolio of end-to-end solutions and tailored professional services, it’s no wonder that EXFO has been trusted to test over 80% of new undersea cables*. Read our latest case study to find out more about how EXFO’s fiber and transport testing solutions are helping to bring light to the abyss and facilitating cross-continental communications.
With gigabit broadband now becoming a bare essential, as well as the opportunities presented by business services and 5G small cell support, service providers are starting to consider upgrading their current fiber architectures with next-generation PON equipment. This paper will look at what operators should know to ensure their infrastructures can support such an evolution.
This white paper explores the challenges, technology, architecture, and testing solutions associated with Remote PHY and fiber deep.
EXFO’s new free technical poster, 5G radio access networks: the way forward, gives a handy and detailed overview of key considerations service providers should be aware of as they embrace 5G. Download it today!
Ever since low loss optical fiber was introduced in telecom networks, fiber-based components have been evolving to address new challenges. The examples are many–from couplers allowing easy signal redirection to multiplexers combining several optical signals with low insertion loss.
This Appledore whitepaper shows how various operations functions fit together and how you can reduce the frequency of “re-invention”, by re-using both software and experience.
