FULL SERVICE BROADBAND ARCHITECTURE
June 2008
The Full Service Broadband architecture, in which all services are made available anywhere, anytime and to any device, represents a tremendous opportunity for the industry. This architecture can be built using components that are already, or will soon be, available based on open standards.
Long Term Evolution – An Introduction
June 2009
The internet generation is becoming used to having broadband access everywhere. Of the estimated 3.4 billion people who will have broadband by 2014, about 80 percent will be mobile broadband subscribers – and the majority will be served by High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks.
Technical Overview and Performance of HSPA and Mobile WiMAX
June 2009
Because HSPA and Mobile WiMAX employ many similar techniques, there is confusion over their relative merits. However, WiMAX has no technology advantage over HSPA. HSPA is therefore the clear choice for mobile-broadband services.
Evolution to optical packet transport
June 2009
Transport networks are evolving to carry packets more efficiently. This evolution takes advantage of a range of options which support all-IP networks, to enable the delivery of multiple services over any bearer, to any client device.
Accelerating global development with mobile broadband
February 2009
In emerging markets mobile technologies offer the best hope for providing broadband in a cost-effective and extensive manner – and for reducing the digital divide between people with easy access to information and services and those without.
HSPA - The Undisputed Choice for Mobile Broadband
February 2009
HSPA low-cost embedded modules are already available and with over 100 commercial networks in operation, HSPA is the clear and undisputed choice for mobile broadband services.
Full Service Broadband Metro Architecture
January 2009
The metro network plays a key role in enabling residential, business and mobile users to access any broadband service anywhere, while delivering flexibility and efficiency for the network operator.
Seven reasons to use ‘end-to-end thinking’ when building all-IP mobile networks
January 2009
Most mobile operators around the world are already well on their way to all-IP networks. Their concern now is how to complete that transition and handle the substantial growth being seen in mobile broadband services. They can address these concerns by choosing an end-to-end IP transport solution.
Synchronization in packet-based networks: challenges and solutions
January 2009
A range of technologies can be used to deliver synchronization solutions in next-generation packet networks. To ensure that the overall business objectives are met, the solution of choice is dependent on a detailed understanding of the requirements.
100Gb Ethernet transport: preparing the highway for high bandwidth services
December 2008
Ethernet is becoming the preferred solution to enable multiple new services in data transmission, and 100GbE is the next rate for IP transport.
Full Service Broadband Access. Any Service, Any Screen – Anywhere
September 2008
With Full Service Broadband access, operators can meet consumer demand for next-generation broadband while also ensuring continued revenue growth.
Delivering Broadband’s Full Potential
September 2008
Broadband has true mass-market appeal and is becoming a basic necessity in today’s information society. Growth is inevitable – once people use broadband, there is no going back. It is up to operators and their partners to enable this growth and ensure there are no barriers to further broadband penetration and usage.
Personalized and Interactive TV – Enabled by IMS
September 2008
The TV experience is in a state of flux, with changes in consumption habits, market dynamics and technology. Users familiar with free web TV, on-line social networking and user-generated content, now expect the same freedom, personalization and interactivity from TV.
High speed technologies for mobile backhaul
September 2008
Several technologies – including all-IP networks and high-capacity fiber, microwave, or VDSL2 links – will be able to handle demand for HSPA and LTE backhauling. The backhauling solutions will enable the introduction of high-capacity mobile broadband networks.
Full Service Broadband With GPON
June 2008
Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Network (GPON) stands out as the fastest-growing technology as fiber-deep access networks gain momentum worldwide. Rapid growth of GPON deployments is set to lead to the predominance of GPON in fiber access technology.
Wireless Networks for In-building Environments
March 2008
In-building Solutions give operators the opportunity to offer improved services for wireless-mobile applications in buildings that require extended radio coverage and capacity. They can be implemented in several ways and can include cellular and non-cellular standards.
Traffic Inspection for Visibility, Control and New Business
opportunities
February 2008
Traffic control, based on deep packet inspection and heuristic analysis, is essential because of the volume of traffic generated by file-sharing services and the growing popularity of such peer-to-peer applications.
The Evolution of EDGE
February 2007
With EDGE Evolution higher data rates and improved coverage will be introduced, further strengthening GSM/EDGE as being an attractive mobile broadband solution and complement to HSPA.
