Photonics Packaging Advancing Telecom Device Efficiency

The evolution of high-speed telecommunications is increasingly dependent on the physical housing and interconnection of optical components. Advanced packaging techniques are now central to achieving the compact integration and thermal stability required for the next generation of global networks, ensuring that signal performance remains optimal as device density increases.

Quantum Secure Networks Strengthening Digital Connectivity

The rise of quantum computing poses a significant threat to traditional cryptographic methods, necessitating a shift toward more resilient security frameworks. Quantum secure networks are emerging as the solution, utilizing the principles of physics to create unhackable communication channels that strengthen digital connectivity and protect critical telecom data systems for a future-proof society.

Smart Broadband Infrastructure Supporting Digital Expansion

The global demand for high-speed internet is no longer just about entertainment; it is a foundational requirement for economic growth and social inclusion. Smart broadband infrastructure provides the scalable and resilient foundation needed to support digital expansion, ensuring that modern telecom growth reaches every corner of the globe with faster and more reliable connectivity solutions.

Sprint expands its portfolio of the iconic Samsung Galaxy S8 series on Friday, Nov. 17, with the addition of Samsung Galaxy S8 Active. This military-grade version of the iconic device will be available in all Sprint retail stores, online at www.sprint.com and by calling 1-800-Sprint1.

Switch to Sprint and get four lines of Unlimited for $25 per month per line with the fifth line free when you add five lines โ€“ thatโ€™s five lines of Unlimited for only $100 per month. Sprintโ€™s Unlimited plan includes Unlimited data, talk and text, HD streaming video and 10GB of hotspot data per line.4 Itโ€™s the best price for Unlimited, and 50 percent off Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile Unlimited rates for a family of five.5

Samsung GS8 Active joins Samsung GS8 and Samsung GS8+ as part of Sprintโ€™s HPUE-enabled (High Performance User Equipment) smartphone lineup. HPUE makes the Sprint network experience even better with increased coverage, more capacity and faster speeds on capable devices. HPUE-enabled smartphones are designed to give customers a better overall experience for watching streaming videos and enjoying mobile gaming and other online apps and services. HPUE can extend Sprintโ€™s existing 2.5GHz coverage by up to 30 percent to nearly match its mid-band 1.9GHz spectrum performance, including indoors where the majority of wireless traffic is generated.6

HPUE is one of many tools Sprint is using to improve its network and take advantage of its deep 2.5GHz spectrum holdings. With an average of 204MHz of spectrum and more than 160MHz of 2.5GHz spectrum in the top 100 U.S. markets, Sprint has more spectrum than any other carrier across the nation, allowing Sprint to keep adding the capacity and speed needed to serve customersโ€™ increasing demand for unlimited data.
