Mobile Data Bandwidth Challenges Wireline
The demise of wireline connections has been widely predicted and some consumers no longer have fixed lines. As I sit in my office in the countryside my broadband delivers 5Mbps down stream but only 0.3Mbps upstream; this is better than many nearby who only get 0.5Mbps downstream. My phone connects to 4G and already delivers twice […]
COTS, ATCA & White Box User Survey: 2016 Market Outlook
Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) platforms and white box switches are at the core of the New IP that service providers will be using to deliver next-generation cloud and mobile services. The COTS ecosystem is responding to service provider demands with a comprehensive range of open solutions that implement software-defined networking (SDN), network functions virtualization (NFV) and […]
NFV Drives Shift to Open Platforms
Network functions virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) platforms are a key focus for telecom and network equipment suppliers, covered in a recent survey that also shows a significant shift toward open platforms and open software architectures. Many existing networking systems are built on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) platforms, including rackmount servers, blade servers, ATCA, appliance platforms […]
Get on the Fast Track to NFV
Communication service providers know that evaluating, purchasing, developing and deploying an NFV solution can turn into more than just a lengthy process; it may also prove to be a very costly endeavor. All the more so if a solution which runs perfectly on data center servers now needs to be spun up and executed on […]
Intel and ARM Go Head-to-Head in the Data Center
The same day that Intel announced the Xeon processor D-1500 family, ARM said it was targeting 25 percent market share in servers by 2020. The Intel Xeon processor D-1500 family are the first Xeon class processors with integrated networking, something customers have been asking for, and was already available in competing ARM based solutions. The 14nm devices build […]
LTE-A Components Deliver on Bandwidth, IoT
The latest LTE components support the LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) functions required to deliver high bandwidth up to 600 Mbit/s at one extreme and very low-power sub-1 Mbit/s for IoT/M2M applications at the other extreme. Highly integrated handset devices feature up to ten 64-bit processor cores and LTE-A modems, and the latest devices for LTE-A base stations […]
LTE Base Station, Handset & IoT/M2M Components: A Competitive Analysis
Demand for mobile data continues to grow, and Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology is enabling carriers to meet that demand. LTE is the world’s fastest-growing mobile networking technology, with more than 400 commercial LTE networks launched since 2010, when deployment really started. There are now 677 operators investing in LTE in 181 countries, and more […]
