Test and Measurement: Accedian pushes sampling to one millisecond

▤ Summary

Network monitoring company Accedian is pushing finer granularity in its visibility tools, with a new release that takes its sampling capabilities from one second to the millisecond range. Accedian released the latest version of its Skylight performance sensor software and says that the capability of continuous bandwidth measurements down to one millisecond “dramatically increases its already industry-leading granularity by several orders of magnitude” and “significantly advances the performance monitoring granularity and network utilization management capabilities available for enterprise and communications service provider networks.” That level of granularity enables CSPs and enterprises to detect and address network burstiness that can impact customer experience, but can be missed by traditional tools that sample on time intervals ranging from one minute to 15 minutes, Accedian said. The USIM Universal Authentication platform was launched under JCI’s Contour Networks brand and allows the creation of custom SIM cards for companies which are trialing CBRS and/or preparing for initial commercial deployments. “The manner in which the CBRS spectrum has been defined leads one to assume that all you need is the base station, its software and a terminal, operating much like the current Wi-Fi plug-and-play environment. He said that the company hopes its universal SIM and support “will contribute in facilitating extensive adoption by a broad based user population by assisting the user to connect, test and manage the complexities associated with the operation of the base station, software and terminal on the LTE CBRS network.” –Keysight Technologies said that its network emulation tools recently enabled Qualcomm Technologies to demonstrate the first 5G-enabled laptop with an integrated modem.
