NFV promises to revolutionize telecom network architecture and the landscape, from core centers to wireless communication itself, by enabling the centralization and virtualization of the mobile base station. Not only does this new concept enable scalability and agility, it also promises to slash the cost per sector compared to what it is today. In this […]
What Operators Haven’t Told You About C-RAN – Its Disruptive
The evolving dynamics of wireless services require a new approach that reduces MNO capital and operational expenditures. Cloud RAN (CRAN) comes into the scene as a MNO-driven initiative to reduce the cost of wireless services. CRAN is based on implementing the concepts of network function virtualization (NFV) to the radio access network (RAN). This decouples […]
Scalable Device Management for Telecom, Network, SDN/NFV and IoT devices
Whether you are building a high end router or deploying an IoT sensor network, a Device Management Framework including support for new standards such as NETCONF/YANG and Web Technologies such as Representational State Transfer (ReST) are fast becoming standard requirements. Next generation Device Management Frameworks can provide substantial advantages over legacy SNMP and proprietary frameworks. […]
Platforms for Accelerating the Software Defined and Virtual Infrastructure
As network infrastructures evolve and selected elements shift from physical systems to virtual functions a new class of network appliance is required that provides high performance processing, balanced I/O and hardware or software acceleration. Such a platform must combine standard server technology and modular systems that can be configured to support line rate performance with […]
Small Cell Backhaul Solutions: Which Technology Fits the Bill?
While small cells currently compliment the roles of the 3G/4G macro-base stations for coverage and capacity, they also have different characteristics. This webinar discussed wireless backhaul capacity, networking, and signal processing challenges for small-cells. It then focused on the technologies — millimeter-wave (E and V bands) radio technology in particular, as well as hardware and […]
Expanding Programmability From the Control to the Data Plane With Xilinx Software Defined Specification Environment
The networking industry is moving from the “fixed-function era” where services are built upon proprietary hardware architectures and custom software to the “virtualized-function era” using standard hardware and software-defined networking (SDN). To address this mismatch between SDN software and old-style hardware, Xilinx has introduced the “softly” defined network approach, which creates a software-defined data plane […]
Accelerating Time-to-Market & Reducing Development Costs through Innovative and Flexible Collaboration
Networking OEMs today face ever-changing market needs at an accelerating rate and complexity. Their challenge lies in balancing development costs with the need to adapt quickly to evolving market requirements. Avago and Tieto have joined forces to enable and provide networking OEMs with the technology, support, and services they require to be successful in the […]
