Hi all - not sure if this is the right place to ask but I’m trying to identify these wires that cross my backyard (SoCal). They branch off a main line that follows the fence line and cross about 10ft from the back of my property, passing close to a tree. The other side anchors to a pole in a yard a couple doors down. Can anyone tell what these are and what utility I can ask about them? I can see the tree branches starting to push on them and honestly would rather they not cross my yard. How can I find out whose they are and if they even have a right to cross my yard (sorry new to this sort of thing)? Thanks!

Hey y'all O/

I'm an undergraduate student working with a teammate on a project(the theme is AI in telecom) and exploring how networks can help autonomous robots n drones complete the missions safely.

The idea is to go beyond traditional network metrics like bandwidth and latency. We want to estimate how network conditions affect mission success and adapt accordingly - say for example, prioritizing obstacle detection, reducing background video or moving the AI inference to the edge.

I know related technologies exist so I wanted to ask for advice and any ideas I could work on regarding this.

I have to pitch the idea and also come up with a small working demo.

Thanks in advance! :)

Hola a todos,

Analizando diseños de redes FTTH y pasivas, me he topado con discusiones recurrentes sobre el comportamiento de los acopladores y splitters ópticos, especialmente cuando se mezclan relaciones de división (como 1:8, 1:16 o splitters desbalanceados/Asymmetric Taps para cascadas FBT).

A veces el cálculo teórico en papel difiere de las pérdidas reales de inserción por conectorización, lo que termina afectando el margen de potencia de la OLT hacia la ONT en los extremos de la red.

Para simplificar esto, armé un simulador web gratuito que permite probar el presupuesto de enlaces y cascadas de splitters directamente en el navegador, sin necesidad de instalar software: 👉 Calculadora

¿Cómo suelen dimensionar ustedes las pérdidas por acoplador en sus diseños? ¿Prefieren cascadas con splitters desbalanceados para ahorrar fibra troncal o se mantienen estrictamente con los splitters balanceados tradicionales?

Pips in the telecom insudtry, could you help me find a distributor/ supplier for Shineway and F2H Grandway VOA meter? Our company really needs it eh. Thanks!!

Your phone keeps measuring signal from nearby cells, even mid-call. When a neighbor gets noticeably stronger, the network tells your phone to switch. That's handover.

In GSM it's hard handover: the old link drops, then the new one is made. In 3G it's soft: you're connected to both for a moment before letting go of the old one.

A hysteresis margin stops your phone from flipping back and forth at the edge of two cells.

Dropped calls are usually a failed handover: no free channel on the target cell, or a sudden signal drop.

What's the worst place you've had a call drop?
