SP360: Service Provider

In this blog series for Broadcasters, top technology challenges, transformation and the value of the ecosystem are explored. With this blog we offer insights and discuss how Cisco innovations help broadcasters deliver higher resolution video, achieve better connectivity, and accelerate ideas to audiences.

At Cisco, we have a long history of commitment to environmental sustainability and broader social responsibility ourselves. We're in lockstep fully aligned with our webscale customers' goals to build a more sustainable industry. And we can play a key role in creating a greener, cleaner, and more efficient foundation for tomorrow's hyperscale data centers.

The rapid expansion of the global digital footprint — the number of Internet users and connections (end user devices and IoT) — requires enhancements in network performance across both fixed and mobile (cellular + Wi-Fi) networks. In addition, consumer and business applications will also need to be strengthened with new and evolving security measures. Here are some key observations and findings from the Cisco Annual Internet Report,

Here's how to ensure your 100G optics are forward compatible. It's all about simplifying designs and standards so that manufacturers can support volumes equivalent to today's 10G SFP+ pluggable optics. The key is to use single-lambda 100G.

Question: Is there still a need for more network capacity and performance enhancements to fixed and mobile networks? Answer: Yes! And tomorrow’s tactile Internet needs and requirements will be met by 5G, Wi-Fi6 and FTTH innovations that support emerging applications (and new services that are just in the ideation phase today). At the beginning of […]

The broadband network can take on the new demands of families remotely working, distance learning, and streaming all at the same time.

In the market for cloud and digital services, speed kills. There’s just so much competition, so many organizations constantly pushing new solutions to meet changing customer needs. If you can’t get new digital products and features out the door quickly—if you can’t retool on the fly to capture new opportunities—you’re likely to get your lunch eaten by competitors who can.

Broadcast engineers are facing many technology decisions. Designing and managing a media workflow that's flexible and efficient through every stage of content production has numerous factors to consider. This blog discusses 5 broadcasting technology trends and the impact on technology choice.

The Single-Lambda 100G optics standards will be instrumental in the development of the next generation of 100G pluggable optics.
