The Internet of Things is poised to revolutionize both telecom and information technology. IoT will place unprecedented demands on wired and wireless networks both in terms of the sheer number of connected devices and the volume, variety and velocity of the data those devices...
New site deployments and the need for more RRU’s at the top of the tower can be costly as your network grows to meet capacity demands, so network sharing is once again a common topic of conversation. But since a shared antenna potentially interacts...
In a large building or venue, owners often want to deploy a single, neutral host network infrastructure to meet a wide variety of service requirements ranging from on-demand capacity in specific locations to provisioning a future-proof platform capable of supporting more than one carrier.
In...

To meet an increasingly diverse set of usage profiles, mobile network operators are building heterogeneous radio access networks that combine macro, small cell and WiFi technologies from different vendors across 2G, 3G and 4G. The level of diversity in subscriber requirements and the surging...
Mobile edge computing (MEC) is one of the most significant current developments in wireless networks, with immense promise to transform the economics of dense data networks and to enable new services and revenue streams driven by a broadened ecosystem. By providing a cloud IT...
The Internet of Things depends on three pillars, the silicon (in the device itself), the software (in the application that uses it) and the communication (providing the connectivity that allows it all to work). A look at the used cases across industry verticals reveals...
With the revolution of the network, enabled by new technologies like Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) firmly underway, how and where application awareness is deployed in networks will dramatically change.
Learn about the benefits application awareness can bring to virtualized networks...
The Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) initiative can improve user experience and save bandwidth resources, as well as provide endless possibilities for service innovation at the network edge. These benefits are achieved by moving computing power to the mobile edge node and providing third-party application...
As the radio interface of mobile phones has evolved, it has typically been changed about every ten years, and the 5G (5th Generation) interface is expected to start being used in the 2020s.
Similar to 3G and 4G cases, ITU-R (International Telecommunication Union – Radio...
Three major trends currently shaping the telecom industry -- the mobile data tsunami, cloud computing and software-defined networking -- are all fueled by availability of bandwidth. As service providers evolve their network architectures to support these trends and enable the promise of network virtualization,...
2016 is an interesting year in mobile networks. Maybe for the first time, we are seeing tangible signs of evolution from digital services to mobile-first. As it was the case for the transition from traditional services to digital, this evolution causes disruptions and new...
Mobile operators face the challenge for supporting networks with a spurt of increase or decrease of traffic. For e.g., if there is some rugby or football event, then the need for bandwidth increases. So the area near the stadium needs to support much higher...
Seize the Opportunity While You Still Can
The ongoing transformation of business communications presents significant opportunities for wireline and wireless carriers, but also great risk. The revenue opportunity is enormous. Carriers who don’t act to seize this opportunity risk losing it to a growing competitive...
Huawei offers systems integration solutions to help operators quickly commercialize NFV
Tier 1 operators accelerate adoption of NFV to increase agility and openness while reducing operating costs
The growing need for operators to increase service agility, while reducing the cost of service, is causing them to...
The introduction of new cellular technologies has significantly improved spectral efficiency; however, data demand has outpaced the spectral efficiency benefit. Cellular spectrum holdings cannot keep up with mobile data growth. For operators to meet data demand and retain profitability despite a falling cost per...
The coaxial transmission lines that move RF signals from the base station to the top of the tower are one of the most critical components in an RF site. Once properly installed on the tower, they can move high levels of RF power with...
Third generation (3G) mobile telephony included built-in security from the handset through the service provider’s core network. Fourth generation (4G) long-term evolution (LTE) is an IP-based system and, as such, brings with it long standing IP-based security weaknesses. From the beginning, standards bodies for...
Directory search listings have come a long way, but the way they’re managed now, competitors can take your data and resell it. It’s time to update the management model and reap those benefits for yourself. Neustar's new ebook, Striking a Better Balance, shows you how...
Today we find our mobile phones as devices we simply cannot live without. They are our camera, video recorder, email device, social media access device, text messaging device, book, newspaper, gaming device, and oh yeah... our mobile telephone. We expect these devices to work...
A holistic approach to designing a visibility architecture allows IT to respond to the immediate and long-range demands of growth, management, access, control, and cost issues.

This white paper expands the foundation of 4G Americas’ view of 5G recommendations that was published in the October 2014 white paper titled, 4G Americas’ Recommendations on 5G Requirements and Solutions.
Forward-looking telecom providers are undertaking cloud mitigation as the next major evolution in networks and services. For good reason: being untethered from purpose-built hardware offers the tantalizing prospect of more efficient, responsive and elastic networks. This has prompted most operators to either commit to,...
