It seems quite evident that AI, both generative and more classical, is going to change the way all industries work. For mobile network operators, AI seems like the tool that will finally turn data into insights that influence how networks and designed, deployed and...

As CSPs look to increase network flexibility and scalability without sacrificing efficiency in new disaggregated radio systems, Cloud RAN will play a key role With 5G networks operating at scale, communications service providers (CSPs) stand ready to embark on the next evolution of cellular. The...

As Communications Service Providers (CSPs) transition from closed proprietary RAN systems to open, disaggregated solutions as part of their migration to 5G, Ethernet adapters with hardware-enhanced timing synchronization are proving essential in allowing them to build virtualized RAN (vRAN) solutions to meet their customers’...

Some of the most interesting IoT use cases on the conference circuit in the past months have been about wildfire monitoring. Through the heat of summer, as parts of Europe burned, smart people from clever companies took to the stage at various events to...

More research from a private cellular network provider into the business value of private cellular networks says… private cellular networks rock, compared to enterprise Wi-Fi. Well, of course they do – the findings echo previous total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) calculations, from Nokia and others (and they...

Modern experience assurance platforms must deliver real-time, per-subscriber, per-service, per-device intelligence; predictive diagnostics; and automated troubleshooting right down to the individual packet level – whether across 5G/4G/3G/2G, fixed, enterprise, IoT, cloud-hosted or hybrid networks – as well as support advanced service monetization and rapid...

Last week, Amsterdam-based Nowi, a specialist in energy harvesting tech for integrated circuit (IC) microchips, announced work with narrowband IoT connectivity provider Sigfox to produce IoT modules that extract power from ambient energy sources, instead of from conventional single-use or rechargeable batteries. It has...

Dell Technologies recently announced it is delivering a fully validated solution for Mavenir Open vRAN and VMware Telco Cloud Platform to accelerate the deployment of new open radio access network (RAN) architectures and usher in a new era of 5G growth. To accommodate the enormous amount...

This article is continued from a previous entry, covering key NB-IoT challenges 1-5 – which is available here. Both articles are taken from a new report, entitled NB-IoT – what has gone wrong, and when will it go right? The full report is available...

Note, this article is taken from a new report, entitled NB-IoT – what has gone wrong, and when will it go right? The full report is available here. A webinar on the same topic is available here, with panellists from BICS, Sequans, and Nordic...

The low-power wide-area (LPWA) end of the IoT sector is characterised by the capabilities and limitations of its main connectivity technologies. But this is wrong. These technologies – the likes of LoRaWAN, Sigfox, and NB-IoT – should not be so easily reduced to a...

https://youtu.be/BiZ-2J0cuYA In this video, Rajesh Mishra, president, founder, and CTO of Parallel Wireless shared how the company is reimagining the network with its Open RAN 2G/3G/4G cellular solution. The company has been deployed and in production trials on 6 continents, solving TCO, backhaul, install and...

  To ensure reliable in-door wireless connectivity, industries across the board are turning to a distributed antenna system (DAS). A DAS typically comprises active electronics, usually a central hub connected to remote units, paired with antennas distributed throughout a building, all interconnected with cabling. The...

When enterprises begin exploring ways to solve their indoor connectivity issues, much of their decision focuses on the bottom line – of course anyone wants to get the best bang for their buck, and for many purchases, that mainly comprises the initial layout However, when...
