VIAVI Perspectives

Traditional spectrum analyzers display signal frequency and power level but provide no spatial correlation to the physical environment. Following an RF interference alarm, standard protocol dictates that an RF technician walks the site, takes multiple measurements, and makes an educated guess based on the available data to assess the emitter’s location. These best guesses are...

NTIA recently opened the fourth Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund (NOFO 4) with up to $53 million for secure, AI-native RAN architectures. It’s an exciting opportunity, and a complex one to navigate alone. VIAVI partners with you to meet that complexity, strengthening your proposal and moving your innovation to commercialization. A Foundation NTIA Already […]

Notes from the front lines of AI fabric validation, just in time for OCP APAC Summit 2026 Here’s an uncomfortable truth about AI networking: the failures that determine whether a fabric is production-ready rarely appear under normal operating conditions. Training clusters run for months. Collective operations complete successfully. Congestion clears and dashboards stay green....

The use of metadata is nothing new – ancient Egyptians deployed this concept over 2,000 years ago, using descriptive tags to organize and summarize voluminous, hand-written scrolls. In the digital age, metadata has taken on new meaning and significance, as NetOps and SecOps teams seek out more efficient ways to garner valuable insights from an […]

I’ve been in RF optimization long enough to see it evolve from something very manual and field-heavy into something that is now increasingly driven by data and AI. When I look back, the fundamentals haven’t changed, but the way we approach them has evolved in ways I wouldn’t have imagined back then. I started my […]
