Facts … The big “data boom”
5 Exabyte of data is created every
2 days
the dawn of civilization & 2003
The same amount that was created between
1 Exabyte = ~ 245 Millions DVDs

…
The world now holds as twice as many bytes of data as there are
liters of water in all its oceans

Speed matters
Excellence in Connectivity Solutions
IMS June 2014 / S.Jarno
Everyone wants speed
There are 2 billions active mobile-broadband subscriptions in the world [3G or 4G connection] That is 29.5 percent of the global population Mobile-broadband subscriptions have grown 40 percent annually over the last three years

Increasing speed causes signal integrity issues
• Fast digital stream should be treated as an RF signal
• Digital customers started using RF connectors
• Threaded RF connectors are cumbersome in their applications
IMS June 2014 / S.Jarno
More data, higher speed drives chip development and requires bleeding edge measurement technology
Closed eye – bad signal integrity Clean and open eye
