WiMAX
LTE and WiMAX will leverage M2M services
Jul 1st
M2M communications offers plethora of opportunities to – right from product manufacturers to service providers to mobile network operators and to the end-users in generating significant value out of this service. M2M communication service is a game changer in a way the machines communicate directly with one another for example: over-the-air upgrades, updates, monitoring, troubleshooting, security, information extraction, tracking, etc. M2M service is possible in almost any future device in house or office which possesses the potential to access internet or a broadband connection
Location Based Services Part II: LBS Network Architectures
Jan 12th
In the previous blog LBS Part I we discussed about the different Location technologies and their comparisons on different parameters with their advantages/disadvantages. Today we will see how these positioning technologies integrate with the network architecture in different Wireless Standards (3GPP, 3GPP2, OMA, WiMAX, LTE)
We will first start with categorizing the location services by their More >
Understanding the WiMAX Business Model
Jan 8th
The transition to the next generation network has been already envisioned by the industry players and the move has been outlined to meet the set objectives. The higher level objectives include offering higher data rates, greater system efficiencies, increased data capacity, highly scalable and flatter all-IP architecture with successful interoperability with mobile devices across different networks and technologies. This leads to advent of next generation networks like Mobile WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) developed jointly by IEEE and WiMAX forum based on IEEE802.16e-2005 global standard and LTE (Long Term Evolution) developed by 3GPP in its Release 8.
We will deep dive into the WiMAX business model analyzing the total cost of ownership, revenues and map the current state of WiMAX deployments around the world.
HSPA, EVDO, WiMax then LTE but what about the mobile backhaul??
Nov 2nd
Over the next few years, “user experience” will still continue to rely on 3G (and in some regions on 2G) technology.But for the mobile operator, LTE/WiMax is already part of the game plan. Operators have to learn the technology, and its impact on their networks, applications and service offering. Though, Service providers are seeking revenue and profit growth through new differentiated packet-based services. Many of these services, such as mobile Internet and mobile TV, require high bandwidth—and the current backhaul infrastructure is not optimized for handling such traffic. Hence, providers have to add backhaul capacity while keeping operational costs under control, a situation that is forcing carriers to migrate their access and core networks to the new 3G and 4G infrastructure. The point is which solution is the best, whether T1 or microwave, fiber or hybrid…lets check which serves the best cost, throughput and deployment advantage..
