Tremendously excited to see that the xRAN Forum (www.xran.org) has adopted IETF’s NETCONF/YANG standard for programmatically configuring and managing its lower layer split RAN architecture. Not only will the use of native YANG models ensure the easie...
Well last week saw the small cell community divided (by the English Channel; with the Femto World Summit meeting in London and the Wireless Broadband Alliance in Paris) but united in the use of small cells for offloading conventional macro RAN infras...
As we have been updating our solutions for Service Provider WiFi, one of the key questions that we needed to answer concerned the assumptions regarding client functionality. The issues raised are perhaps broader than just SP WiFi and key to driving a...
So I finally managed to get around to reading Chris Anderson's "Free: The Future of a Radical Price" [http://www.amazon.com/Free-Future-Radical-Chris-Anderson/dp/1401322905/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1261597272&sr=8-1 ] (yes, I paid for the physi...
I spoke at last weeks IDATE Digiworld Summit and was fortunate enough to sit through Antoine Pradayrol's plenary session on "Open Mobile" - Antoine is head of Telco research at Exane-Paribas and you can view his presentation here:http://www.digiworld...
I just got forwarded a link to Dean Bubley's blog from June 25th - http://disruptivewireless.blogspot.com/2010/06/mobile-operators-future-voice.htmlThe part that resonates with me was... "As always, divergence will be more important than convergence....
If the party is being arranged by the incumbent cellular operators and invites sent only after new FDD spectrum has been allocated, then I don't think so. After all, HSPA+ should be able to keep operators busy, upgrading their backhaul networks to IP...
I think any RAN which doesn't use E2E TDM can be labeled an "IP RAN". A Cell Site Router which supports pseudo-wire encapsulation and uses packet based access and aggregation networks is one such example. Another example is an operator using legacy T...
So good question!Does a pseudo-wire based Radio Access Network warrant the "IP RAN" label? Does 3GPP2's MLPPP based Abis equate to an IP RAN? We have customers running long line TDM based Iub/Abis and backhauling those using pseudo-wires over Gigabi...
Hi Nageshso to be clear, IMS is the only standardized architecture offering the ability for converged real time session control over wireline, cable and mobile networks. All analysis now points to the fact that, 10 years after its standardization beg...
