This white paper looks at how telcos and leading over-the-top (OTT) players are adjusting to the Post-Snowden era, what's at stake and what the operators need to do to reinforce their competitive positioning in regards to user privacy. Ironically, one of the things the operators must do is ensure that key aspects of their security and privacy strategies are fully aligned.

This paper outlines the ways Big Data helps with two principal areas: network optimization and customer relationships. It also provides guidelines for selecting the best Big Data vendor for you.

New legislation presents new compliance challenges for communications service providers (CSPs). Download the whitepaper to learn more about the legislation, the specific challenges presented by it and the next steps to take.

As the industry moves forward to meet the enormous demand for data with video, mobile, and cloud, the core networks need to transition from 10G to 100G and beyond

The dramatic growth in mobile, cloud, and media-rich data traffic is exhausting network capacity and requiring a fast move to 100 Gbps connectivity. In the race for next-generation 100 Gbps optical solutions, Cisco is helping service providers sprint ahead with solutions that are smaller, faster, and more power-efficient than ever before.

A more recent period of 100G investment, led by Cisco, is now producing higher scale, better performance, lower power consumption, smaller form factors, and compelling price points. This white paper describes each of these technological advances and how this 100G benefit in scale can even be accomplished with existing, fully depreciated, legacy 10G DWDM systems.

Because of the realities of the cellular revenue model, the question arises: How can we best deliver voice and other legacy services via LTE?

Understanding how to monitor app-driven smartphone behaviors within a controlled environment is critical to a successful product launch. Before testing within a "live" environment, learn more by downloading our "Monitoring Smartphone App Impact on Networks and User Experience with Anritsu MD8475A" Application Note.

Vubiquity took an in-depth look into the way consumers view video on multiple screens. Today's consumers have a seemingly endless array of choices from what content they want to watch, to the screens on which to watch that content. Understanding the continuing growth and consumption of content across tablets, TV, smartphones and computers is critical to the future businesses of both content owners and service providers.

With secondary devices in every home and hand, viewers are spending more time multitasking. We asked a US-based sample of 1600 people, ages 13-64, what they do while watching TV.

Vubiquity feeds the pipeline between Content Providers and Service Providers, and we took a close look at what's happening today with VOD.

This white paper provides a detailed description of the changing network environment that sheds light on AAN. It also describes a set of tools for monitoring customer applications, compares the merits of each tool, explains how one controls resources based on this knowledge, and eventually shows how all of this relates to the new trend of Software Defined Networking (SDN).

This study examines Telstra's motivation for embracing CE 2.0 technology, discusses the services capabilities enabled by MRV's platforms and explores how Telstra is implementing advanced CE solutions to enhance its service portfolio, deliver greater value to its customers and improve its profitability.

Global mobile broadband (MBB) data is expected to maintain an annual growth rate of 67% and increase by a factor of 13 between 2012 and 2017. However, the increase of revenue generated from MBB traffic is not expected to match the traffic growth. Therefore, operators are focusing on how to boost MBB revenue, improve customer experience, and maximize network utilization.

With the goal of evolving from a rigid legacy solution to a full-fledged Policy Control architecture, one of European Tier 1 operators started a one-year PCC evolution project. It took Huawei less than four months to complete the project, which culminated in the commercial launch of the SmartPCC solution.

Introduction: Data Monetization Challenges Active real-time insights into subscribers' interests and services consumption allows service providers to strengthen their relationships with their customers by enabling them to provide timely interaction and personalized service and data plans.

Telecommunications providers are rapidly transforming their networks to support new and innovative IP-enabled communications services. The ever-growing popularity of Over-The-Top (OTT) video content and communications services such as YouTube, Netflix and Skype and rapid adoption rates of new 4G mobile video-enabled smartphones are increasing demand for media delivered over the Internet.

By comparing several video transcoding tasks running on CPU and GPU, we will demonstrate how to optimize the ADLINK aTCA-9300 blade by using the Intel(R) Media SDK to offload CPU workload and leverage the GPU hardware, allowing the ADLINK Video Steaming ARIP Platform to provide much faster and more efficient transcoding performance.

As mobile communications enters the 4G LTE era, ultra-broadband Internet access is expected to usher in more bandwidth-intensive applications and services which in turn will result in the same problems 3G has been facing: a deluge of data competing for finite bandwidth resources.

The focus of this white paper is to document the role and evolutionary phases that Diameter nodes - specifically, centralized Diameter Signaling Controllers (DSCs) - play in this new model, and how they are expanding past supporting just Diameter to address the requirements for multi-protocol signaling orchestration.

Driven by ever-increasing demands for higher data rates, lower latency, and higher capacity, cellular radio access technology has advanced dramatically over the past decade or so. Carrier aggregation permits an LTE base station to group several distinct channels into one logical channel, thereby enabling very high peak traffic channel data rates. Download this white paper to find out more.

This paper presents five use cases that illustrate the challenges that mobile operators face in managing traffic, the tools they can use to address them, and the benefits they can reap from real-time, context-aware traffic management.

This white paper provides a blueprint for how mobile operators can stay ahead of the curve of both benign and malign security threats. It examines how operators can adapt and scale their security architecture for tremendous traffic growth on both the user and signaling planes, and it explores how they can dynamically adjust their security posture in line with changes in the security threat landscape, new capabilities in telco networking and changes in customer demand.
