It’s Time to Accelerate Everything!

For business and government entities that enable e-commerce, provide a social-networking platform and critical information to the public, providing a service that just meets the minimum threshold of the “new broadband" is grossly inadequate.

Among the Clouds (Computing)

You can think of a hybrid cloud as a flight with connections. For one leg of the journey, you need your own private aircraft (private cloud), and for the next leg you decide to rent (or buy) the required capacity (public cloud) in a shared environment.

A Nightmare on Geek Street

Carriers seek pragmatic solutions for the “network abusers” who love their bandwidth-hogging smartphones and video services. But I assert that “network abusers” are not the problem, rather an opportunity to be harnessed.

Death of T1 and Rise of EFM

In November I blogged about T1’s Expiration Date, but predicting the death of T1s and the rise of the new age of Ethernet in the First Mile over copper without a strong economic case would be neither credible nor complete. The economic case for the end customer and carriers must be factored into the discussion. For end customers – enterprises in this case – value is derived from ...

T1s’ Expiration Date

As you likely know, T1 circuits were invented in the 1960s. Now, almost a half century later, the time has finally come to say goodbye, farewell and thanks for the help. Why? Because it’s all about speed. The bandwidth provided by these legacy TDM circuits just can’t cut it anymore, unable to meet the ever-growing needs of today’s bandwidth-hungry applications. In order to ...

The Economic Stimulus: It’s All About Doing More

During his January 20 inauguration speech, Barack Obama pledged: “We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together.”Nearly a month later, the newly elected 44th president of the United States signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The purpose of the new legislation, otherwise known ...

By Henrik Bremerskov, ActelisThere is one critical question gating the advancement of mobile backhaul networks: Is it possible to take advantage of the efficiencies afforded by a converged Ethernet access network for both voice and data? By leveraging existing copper network infrastructure and replacing those aging and inefficient T1/E1 lines, carrier Ethernet enables service providers to deliver ...

In This Economy, EFM Is Your Best ROI

By Henrik Bremerskov, ActelisThe first xDSL services deployed over a decade ago were regarded by some pundits as the last stand for copper access infrastructure, bringing just a temporary resistance against the coming onslaught from FTTx. But it simply hasn’t worked out that way, mainly because continual advances in copper transmission technology have led to significant improvements in the ...

OMG! For 3G Networks, the Forecast Calls for Rain

By Henrik Bremerskov, ActelisNew mobile handheld devices like Apple’s iPhone 3G and the newly released G1 from Google, which are designed to maximize multimedia applications of 3G networks, represent a great opportunity for mobile operators in the long term. More immediately, however, these new phones are creating migraine headaches, driving mobile network operators headlong toward a ...
