As businesses and organizations increasingly rely on high-speed fiber optic networks, the need for robust monitoring systems has never been greater. Fiber Monitor addresses this need by offering continuous surveillance and proactive fault resolution, minimizing disruptions and reducing operational costs.

Real-Time Detection for Seamless Operations

Fiber Monitor leverages advanced Light Source (LSU) and Power Meter Unit (PMU) technology to monitor fiber optic cables 24/7. Unlike traditional methods like polling or passive debug by handhelds, Fiber Monitor detects abnormalities in real time, instantly identifying issues such as power loss or fiber damage. This ensures uninterrupted network performance and prevents costly downtime.

When a problem is detected, Fiber Monitor triggers an Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) scan to locate the exact fault, such as a bend or cut in the fiber. This automated process eliminates the need for manual testing, saving both time and resources.

Cost-Effective and Scalable Solution

One of Fiber Monitor’s standout features is its cost-effectiveness. By reducing reliance on expensive OTDR devices for continuous monitoring, the system extends their lifecycle and minimizes operational expenses. Furthermore, Fiber Monitor’s scalability allows it to adapt seamlessly to networks of all sizes, from small-scale setups to extensive infrastructures.  In addition, it can monitor no matter dark fiber or live fiber at complex deployments.  It saves the expensive manpower and OTDR handhelds on finding the root causes inefficiently. 

The system’s Micro Controller Unit (MCU) platform enhances stability and eliminates vulnerabilities associated with traditional operating systems. This results in a highly secure, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance solution, further contributing to cost savings.

Enhanced Security and Reliability

Cybersecurity is a top priority for HwaCom, and Fiber Monitor delivers with advanced security features. Its MCU-based design eliminates the need for routine software updates, antivirus programs, and firewalls, reducing potential attack vectors. By ensuring real-time monitoring and fault detection, Fiber Monitor helps maintain a resilient and reliable network infrastructure.

Applications Across Industries

Fiber Monitor is designed for diverse applications and is particularly suited for:

• Telecommunications and Internet Service Providers: Ensuring uninterrupted connectivity and high-speed data transfers.
• Cloud and Data Centers: Supporting ultra-high bandwidth and mission-critical links.
• Government and Utilities: Maintaining secure, high-reliability networks for essential services.

Kingston Technology Remains Top DRAM Module Supplier for 2023

Kingston Technology, a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, today announced it has been ranked top third-party DRAM module supplier in the world, according to the latest rankings by revenue from analyst firm TrendForce. Kingston retains its number 1 position with an estimated 68.8% market share. TrendForce states DRAM module sales in 2023 saw a 28% YoY decline across the industry. Kingston’s revenue showed a slight decrease but held its position as the global leader for the 21st consecutive year.

According to the report, the world’s top ten memory module houses accounted for 93% of total sales in 2023 with Kingston maintaining its dominant market share of 68.8%. The decline was mainly due to an inventory correction phase in the consumer electronics sector following the pandemic. This was exacerbated by high utilization rates among DRAM suppliers, which accelerated the price drop. However, the market started to recover in the second half of 2023. Consumer buying trends for electronic products took a hit following the pandemic but Kingston’s robust brand scale along with its comprehensive regional market layout limited its decline, keeping it firmly at the top of market share rankings.

In 2023, Kingston expanded its portfolio by introducing the Kingston FURY Renegade Pro DDR5 RDIMM, offering overclockable server-grade DDR5 memory tailored for creators, engineers, and data science professionals to support the demands of modern applications. Additionally, Kingston's 64GB, 32GB, and 16GB Server Premier DDR5 4800MT/s Registered DIMMs were validated for use with the 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors (previously known as Sapphire Rapids). Kingston also refreshed the design of its Kingston FURY Renegade DDR4 memory, incorporating striking two-toned heat spreaders. Earlier in 2023, the company celebrated a major achievement of shipping over 100 million overclockable modules.

“The 2023 findings from TrendForce reflect the company’s ongoing strength and adaptability in the face of yet another demanding business year.” said Kingston. “This milestone not only reaffirms Kingston’s dominant presence in the market but also underscores the company’s resilience and significance within the industry, as we now proudly maintain our top position for the 21st consecutive year.”

LG Display Succeeds in Developing World's First Stretchable Display that Expands by 50 Percent

LG Display, the world's leading innovator of display technologies, announced today its unveiling of the world's first Stretchable display capable of expanding up to 50%, the highest rate of elongation in the industry. At LG Science Park in Seoul on Nov. 8, the company demonstrated the panel at a meeting of more than 100 South Korean industry, academia, and research stakeholders involved in a Stretchable display national project.

Stretchable displays are seen as the ultimate free-form screen technology because they can be freely transformed into any shape, including by stretching, folding, and twisting.

The new prototype features a 12-inch screen that stretches up to 18 inches, while simultaneously delivering a high resolution of 100ppi (pixels per inch) and full red, green, and blue (RGB) color.

Compared to the first Stretchable display prototype unveiled in 2022, the new panel's maximum elongation rate has more than doubled from 20% to 50%. This enhanced stretchability enables various display design possibilities, raising the technology's potential competitiveness when commercialized.

By applying a number of new technologies, such as improving the properties of a special silicon material substrate used in contact lenses and developing a new wiring design structure, LG Display improved the panel's stretchability and flexibility, exceeding the original national project's target of 20% elongation.

In addition, by using a micro-LED light source of up to 40μm (micrometers), the new prototype's strengthened durability means it can be repeatedly stretched over 10,000 times, maintaining clear image quality even in extreme environments such as exposure to low or high temperatures and external shocks.

Stretchable displays are not only thin and lightweight but also capable of adhering to irregularly curved surfaces like clothing and skin. They are expected to be widely applied in various industries, from fashion and wearables to mobility.

The company showcased numerous concepts for the application of Stretchable displays, including an automotive panel that stretches out into a convex shape and can be operated by hand as well as a wearable display attached to firefighters' uniforms that provides real-time information.

LG Display was selected as the lead company for the national project to develop Stretchable displays in 2020 and since then has been conducting joint R&D with 19 domestic industry and research institutes. It is one of the major tasks of a wider project to develop core technologies for next-generation displays promoted by South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) along with the Korea Planning & Evaluation Institute of Industrial Technology.

By successfully completing the project, LG Display has not only secured core technologies that can lead the next-generation display market but also contributed to localizing materials, components, and equipment as well as building an R&D infrastructure.
