IoT is an emerging technology currently in piloting and live implementation phase at a number of operators across the globe. IoT is expected to multiply the number of mobile connections in coming years, being one of the main growth initiatives for operators and network...
Although telecom operators provide the infrastructure to the world’s fastest growing companies like Facebook, Twitter & Instagram, with market saturation and price plan wars in their own space they have had little opportunity to improve profitability.
‘Marketplace’ aims to save the operators hundreds of millions...
The automotive industry has been experiencing a tremendous transformation. For many consumers, cars are evolving from being just a transport medium to becoming an integral part of their digital lives. The modern automobile is a technology hub hosting wireless technologies like GPS, Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi®,...
Overcoming wireless network interference in the field is a major challenge given the exponential growth in demand for mobile services and the volume of wireless signals traversing today’s networks. For complete assessment, technicians and engineers typically have to carry multiple instruments in their kit...
On October 25, the ZTE Fixed Network User Conference was convened in Berlin, Germany during Broadband World Forum (BBWF) 2017. More than 20 operators from Europe and across the world attended the conference, where they discussed fixed network construction modes and shared their experience...
With 40% of emerging markets still anticipated to use 2G in 2020 (according to GSMA), the cost savings and simplification of Parallel Wireless solution allow global operators to bring connectivity to these markets while enabling an easy and cost-effective migration path to 3G/4G/5G.
This solution...
5G is rapidly climbing the hype cycle. Qualcomm has even claimed it could be as “transformative as electricity.”
Wireless network operators in the U.S. are not only talking about 5G, but asserting that their trials are ongoing and deployments are coming soon — in many...
The 2017 Texas Wireless Summit (TWS) will take place November 6-7, 2017 in UT Austin’s new flagship engineering building, the Engineering Education and Research Center. Featured sessions and panels on diverse topics include millimeter wave and 5G, the future of automated vision and navigation,...
As mobile, cable, and telecom operators begin to virtualize their networks, they are also building a robust data center technology. Now, as their networks become more open and commoditized, they are moving away from the long lifecycle, proprietary hardware and software architectures of a...
The introduction of 4G LTE seven years ago caused a tipping point where wireless
connections, now faster than wires, became a legitimate enterprise-grade WAN
source. Since then, enterprises have leveraged this technology to make money, save
money, and create competitive advantages for themselves. 5G promises exponential
improvements to...
Is it possible to disrupt the “big four” carriers? We say yes. California-based telecom company, GeoLinks, is doing just that, proving that even new players can substantially impact the industry as we know it. In the past six months alone GeoLinks has been asked...
As the world goes digital, people’s daily lives are increasingly dependent on easy access to data, wherever they are. High-quality mobile connectivity can influence where people decide to live, raise the efficiency of their work and increase their relaxation time.
By steadily densifying their networks,...
October 19-20, ZTE Wireless & Services User Congress 2017 was held in Brussels, Belgium. At the congress, Michael Howard, Executive Director & Advisor of IHS Markit, delivered a speech at the topic of “Mobile Operators: Evolving SDN/NFV Plans in Preparation for 5G”, to share...
In the context of ICT convergence, with the help of SDN/NFV, telecom operation is transforming from relatively simple traditional telecom services operation to a digital one. Consequently, the SDN/NFV-based new telecom network is re-architecting network infrastructure, network function, and operation. With the accelerated advent...
4.5G Pro and 4.9 G set the stage for rapid commercialization of 5G
Ahead of the planned release of the 5G New Radio specification in mid-2018, pre-standard lab and field trials have established a clear evolutionary path forward to a new era of communications marked...
Learn how Sequans leverages LTE connectivity to support vertical applications
The internet of things is a crowded market challenged by proprietary and standardized connectivity, as well as long-term interoperability of devices being connected to global networks. But, as the space crystallizes and continues to grow,...
A three-phase process makes the most of investments geared toward delivering on 5G and IoT
With the 5G New Radio specification, both non-standalone and standalone variants, tracking for finalization by the end of this year and mid-2018, respectively, operators around the world are coming to...
Every once in a long while, a new technology comes along that redefines the boundaries and assumptions that came before it. While it is still being extensively tested, 5G NR mmWave is emerging as a key technology that could define the next big moment...
Complex and powerful, 5G is truly a transformational leap forward from 4G. With 5G on the horizon, companies are already actively developing and testing designs for this next gen technology. Yet achieving the full 5G vision brings significant new challenges for the cellular industry...
While the technologies that will constitute 5G are still being worked on, the ITU-R has identified three main usage scenarios for 5G: Enhanced mobile broadband with up to 20 Gbps peak data rate, massive machine-type communications, and ultra-reliable and low latency communications. To meet...
