Some of these developments align to one another, whilst others can seem to contradict, making it difficult for C-suite executives and data center operations directors to plan without second guessing themselves about whether they’ve made the right choice.Tue, 18 Feb 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://www.commscope.com/blog/2025/ai-will-change-the-nature-of-data-center-builds-in-2025/https://www.commscope.com/blog/2025/ai-will-change-the-nature-of-data-center-builds-in-2025/Koen ter LindeWhat a difference a year makes. Last year, we noted that the exponential growth of demand for AI compute in data centers would force more efficient processes, faster builds and more creative problem-solving to address the persistent shortage of top IT talent, and this has certainly proven to be true—in fact, truer than anyone really expected.Thu, 16 Jan 2025 14:00:00 GMThttps://www.commscope.com/blog/2025/amsterdams-iconic-residences-get-a-fiber-makeover/https://www.commscope.com/blog/2025/amsterdams-iconic-residences-get-a-fiber-makeover/Rob van DijkCommScope, Netceed Netherlands and Circet Netherlands implement an efficient new architecture for FTTH deployments in tens of thousands of historic Dutch residences.Mon, 06 Jan 2025 19:00:00 GMThttps://www.commscope.com/blog/2024/broadband-outlook-for-2025-smaller-simpler-is-better/https://www.commscope.com/blog/2024/broadband-outlook-for-2025-smaller-simpler-is-better/Koen ter LindeBroadband networks are still in the midst of the current multi-year cycle of expansion and upgrades, both in the U.S. and around the world. This isn’t going to slow down in 2025, but I do expect to see the approach to modulate to feature a preference for less complex and easily-handled solutions. Smaller and simpler will be the key priorities.Thu, 19 Dec 2024 05:00:00 GMThttps://www.commscope.com/blog/2024/location-location-location/https://www.commscope.com/blog/2024/location-location-location/Alastair WaiteThe artificial intelligence (AI) tsunami keeps surging onwards and upwards. This evolution breeds much discussion about its enabling technologies, e.g., what’s coming next; “squeezing” that extra ounce of performance out of the network; how to architect the whole building; and many others. I’m happy to report that CommScope is leading those conversations and innovating the solutions to support future network migration, and we’ll have more to share on those solutions in the future.Tue, 10 Dec 2024 13:00:00 GMThttps://www.commscope.com/blog/2024/introducing-the-traci-ai-powered-chatbot-for-data-center-management/https://www.commscope.com/blog/2024/introducing-the-traci-ai-powered-chatbot-for-data-center-management/Volney DouglasArtificial Intelligence is revolutionizing the tech landscape. For data center managers, its impact rivals that of the search engine and the internet. As data centers add capacity and boost performance to meet the rising demand for AI resources and other new applications, they also increase the scale and complexity of the management of those data centers. If left unaddressed, this can make operations unnecessarily more expensive and wasteful.Mon, 18 Nov 2024 14:00:00 GMThttps://www.commscope.com/blog/2024/tomorrows-enterprise-networks-have-grown-beyond-yesterdays-structured-cabling-infrastructure/https://www.commscope.com/blog/2024/tomorrows-enterprise-networks-have-grown-beyond-yesterdays-structured-cabling-infrastructure/Didier ClaeysIn recent decades, technologies such as Wi-Fi®, IoT, PoE, OT and AI have arisen and evolved. Remote work and increased flexibility have reshaped perceptions of workspaces, demanding more adaptability from networks. The demand for network access has expanded beyond traditional office and data center environments to include warehouses, parking lots, sports venues and virtually any location where people and devices require connectivity.Tue, 22 Oct 2024 13:00:00 GMThttps://www.commscope.com/blog/2024/introducing-our-new-ai-supporting-fosc-solution/https://www.commscope.com/blog/2024/introducing-our-new-ai-supporting-fosc-solution/Motaz AbulibehAI implementations are growing fast, and they depend on distributed infrastructure that can handle the fiber counts involved.
