Tailoring 100G for Metro Networks
100G is in rapid fashion making its way across more and more of the network, as enterprises and carriers seek an extended break from bandwidth exhaustion and traffic bottlenecks. As the state-of-the-art technology has reached the metro, it has quickly spawned a more diverse landscape of solutions from which to choose.


Service Delivery Networking: The key to 4G Network Success
Applications and devices require quality network service architectures in order to deliver the QoE that subscribers demand.   This article looks at the framework of Service Delivery Networks.


The Shift from SDH to a Packet-Based Network: A Look at the Transformation Undertaken by EnviaTel
EnviaTel, a German telecommunications service provider and Network operator for business customers and carriers, recently implemented a Packet Transport platform for three significant reasons: (1) the sharp rise in demand by business and carrier customers for packet-oriented services, (2) the continuously falling prices for these services, and (3) the inefficient and therefore expensive deployment of Ethernet services over the SDH network.


Interview: NSN's Sue Spradley on LightSquared's Wholesale Mobile Data Paradigm
LightSquared, a new company backed by Harbinger Capital Partners, plans to launch a wholesale-only, 4G-LTE network across the U.S. complemented by satellite coverage. LightSquared will provide wholesale wireless broadband capacity to a diverse group of customers, including retailers; wireline and wireless communication service providers; cable operators; device manufacturers; web players; content providers; and many others. NSN has been appointed vendor of choice in a deal valued at $7 billion over 8 years.


Mobile Backhaul Transition Requires New Testing
The move from TDM- to Ethernet-based transport does not come for free. TDM-circuits are well established at providing ultra-high reliability, voice quality of service, and accurate timing. Ethernet technology requires careful attention to match these capabilities. Testing for Ethernet-based mobile backhaul systems can be split neatly into performance testing and conformance testing. It is essential that wired and wireless components now be tested with the same types and scale of traffic seen in actual network deployments.


Cybersecurity Requires Public/Private Coalition
No longer is the task of cybersecurity relegated to IT offices and CIOs in the private sector, nor to a select number of government agencies. Instead, a call to action has been put forth to all entities -- especially the government -- to make cybersecurity a top priority. It is now recognized as one of the most important national security challenges of our time.


A Rethinking of Cloud Services and Network Architecture
The revenue potential of offering cloud hosting services is significant. To take advantage of this considerable opportunity, service providers must rethink both their network architectures and business models.
