The UK's bus industry is steering toward a groundbreaking transformation, thanks to the recent passage of the Automated Vehicles Bill. With the target set to launch self-driving buses by 2026, the future of public transport promises both thrilling advancements and challenging. LABCos offer local authorities the potential to own a bus operator, putting benefit to the local community to the front and centre of its business model, whilst retaining incentives to generate revenue and control costs. Bus Users UK has today published its 2026 Manifestos for England, Scotland and Wales, setting out clear agendas for governments to protect, prioritise and strengthen bus services. Innovate UK has identified three strategic imperatives to guide investments to minimise ris d to reaching net zero. The UK government's Department for Transport has brought forward plans to permit fully autonomous taxis and bus-like services on English roads by spring 2026, backed by £150 million in funding.

This comprehensive article covers four pivotal standards published in December 2025, each bringing new levels of precision to cable testing, midspan access, environmental durability, and RF assembly performance. Supplement 47 to ITU-T G-series Recommendations provides information on the general transmission characteristics of single-mode optical fibres and cables specified in the ITU-T G. Industry standards for optical fiber cables, components, systems and applications continually evolve and progress in an effort to ensure interoperability, performance, uniform testing and support for the latest technologies, bandwidth demand and industry initiatives. Optical fibre cables - Part 1-117: Generic specification - Basic optical cable test procedures - Mechanical tests methods - Bending stiffness, Method E17 The prEN IEC 60794-1-117:2025 standard establishes procedures for assessing the bending stiffness of optical fibre cables—a critical mechanical. ANSI/TIA-1005-A, Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Industrial Premises, is overseen by the TIA TR‑42. The standard is currently being revised to incorporate 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T), or Category 6A cabling, to meet the. This article explains eight of the most important global fiber and cable standards — ITU-T, IEC, TIA, ISO/IEC, and Telcordia — covering their scope, applications, and why they matter in real-world deployments.

Multiple subsea fiber optic cables in the Red Sea suffered simultaneous cuts on September 6, 2025, disrupting global internet and communications traffic. The incident began at 05:45 UTC and has forced operators to reroute traffic between Asia, the Middle East, and Europe over. Warnings about a US fiber crunch that could slow down broadband deployment have intensified since the summer. Microsoft is developing fiber optics for bandwidth-heavy needs In Nigeria, Why Isn't Broadband Everywhere? It has 8 undersea cables, but fiber-optic networks miss half the country Can Qubits Teleport Through Today's Internet Lines? New fiber optic tech mingles regular gigabits with quantum data. On Saturday, September 6, 2025, multiple submarine fiber-optic cables were severed.
