In Cloudy, Social & Streaming World, Mobile Data Still a Luxury?
Mar 10th
We consumers, are quickly getting habituated to number of “data-centric use-cases” and the “speed required” to access these apps & services on our smart devices. However, the dependence on these plethora of mobile use-cases and the “need for speed” is rising and is directly proportional to the rising “data consumption per consumer per device” (DCCD) and so the “cost per DCCD” is also on the rise not only for carriers but surprisingly for consumers.
Femtocells & Relays in Advanced Wireless Networks
Jan 6th
Consumer demand for ubiquitous service access has become a key determinant in the selection of one provider over another. In addition, both consumers and operators are pursuing more sophisticated, bandwidth-hungry services. And, finally, the roll out of spread spectrum 3G/4G networks has introduced a technology that compounds the challenges of providing in-building coverage. Femtocells & Relays will solve this problem and extend the broadband’s coverage to indoors.
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..
