  • 4G network offload: Radio access network and mobile backhaul solutions

    Wireless operators looking at 4G network offload to cope with growing mobile traffic have two options for relief – radio access network (RAN) offload using mobile hotspots and femtocells, and mobile backhaul solutions to move wireless traffic to the metro network fast.Tip

  • Mobile backhaul offload could affect Evolved Packet Core design

    Part two of our analysis of 4G network offload strategies looks at the implications of moving mobile backhaul traffic to the metro network, and how it could affect the design of LTE’s Evolved Packet Core.Tip

  • Minimizing the impact of 4G wireless on network operations

    The impact of 4G wireless on network operations can be eased by advanced infrastructure and deployment planning in the radio network, backhaul, service interconnection and content management.Tip

  • Mobile backhaul network primer

    Mobile backhaul network infrastructure has become increasingly important with the growth of wireless broadband traffic. This primer looks at the transition to a packet-based IP- and Ethernet-based transport to handle 4G LTE and WiMAX traffic.Article

  • Carriers must support legacy 2G/3G gear long after 4G networks go live

    Even after most major carriers launch 4G networks based on Long-Term Evolution (LTE), service providers are still going to have to support subscribers on 2G/3G legacy networks for years to come.Article | 28 Oct 2010

  • Rushing 4G backhaul network planning carries high costs, delays

    4G backhaul network planning is an important and at times underestimated piece of LTE or WiMax migration strategies. If telecoms rush their 4G backhaul network planning, they will pay the price of high costs and disastrous delays.Article | 21 Oct 2010

  • LTE network infrastructure: Greenfield and brownfield network design

    While paying close attention to user trends, operators migrating to LTE network infrastructure need to plan their greenfield and brownfield networks in harmony with each other, with existing 3G usage patterns as an aid for planning 4G wireless capacity, even though mobile backhaul solutions will be very different.Telecom Insights

  • Building the 4G wireless network: Exploring LTE architecture and services drivers

    Part 1 of our Telecom Insights carriers' guide to building 4G LTE networks takes a close look at the diverse forces driving LTE architecture planning and deployment, which require operators to analyze the broadband service and usage habits of their wireless markets, how their geography affects technology choices, and their ability to support a growing number of mobile devices and become part of the mobile applications revenue chain. The series will also explore why carriers need to evolve their metro network infrastructure toward an Evolved Packet Core for wireless broadband and how changes in metro network technology and operations are being driven by these issues.Telecom Insights

  • Netsnapper smartphone solution aids mobile data traffic offload

    With mobile data traffic skyrocketing, carriers must ease wireless network congestion and improve QoS. Netsnapper's software offering combines data traffic offload, compression and seamless switching in one platform to try to help.Misc

  • Cable operators look to Wi-Fi hotspots as customer retention strategy

    U.S. cable operators are making free Wi-Fi hotspots in select cities part of their customer retention strategy -- a move expected to eventually evolve into revenue-generating services based on or tied to Wi-Fi.Article | 26 Aug 2010
