How Netcracker became the first business cloud nutcrackerJanuary 17, 2019Already known for the innovative capabilities that propelled its cloud and SDN/NFV ascension over the past decade, Netcracker, a wholly owned subsidiary of NEC Corporation, never rests on its laurels and keeps pushing the envelope.

It’s hard to get rid of those good old DMS switches!June 12, 2018That’s the key takeaway from Ribbon Perspectives 18’s Network Transformation panel held on June 5 in Los Angeles. With more than 600 attendees and loud L.A. style music blasting before, between, and after sessions, the event keeps growing. And of course, you don’t want to miss those perspectives. The panel had representatives from BT, Bell, and Verizon, all talking about their ongoing network transformation initiatives. All three are big on the role of software defined networks (SDN) as the key enabler of automation while preserving some of the legacy nodes that are fully depreciated and providing high reliability.

Huawei Analyst Summit 2018: Carrier networks at a crossroadsMay 02, 2018The 2018 Huawei Global Analyst Summit was, as usual, a large, lavish, and information-packed affair. From executive-level insights into the overall direction of the business to more in-depth and detailed insights on Huawei technology across a wide range of areas, this year’s event provided a good overall view of the state of the telecommunications industry with a primary focus on business in China and Asia. A key takeaway is that the carrier networks business is at a crossroads—and it is not clear at this stage whether 5G will be able to come to the rescue. The consumer and enterprise segments, supplemented by a new business addressing public cloud services, anchored growth for the company in 2017.

From 4G to 5G, the need for antennas has never been greaterJuly 03, 2017Last month, at 5G World in London (June 13-15), I chaired the Antenna Evolution Focus Day, which turned out to be extremely well attended with more than 100 people, mostly mobile operators representatives, and nobody was shy. Instead, much food for thought was brought to the discussion by speakers from 3UK, BT/EE, Bell Canada, China Mobile, Elisa, KT, Orange, Telekom Slovenije, TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile), T-Mobile, and Vodafone. Since everybody is operating an LTE-Advanced network with various levels of carrier aggregation, adding new antennas to achieve massive MIMO (Multiple Inputs Multiple Outputs) was the core of the discussion.Subscribers Only

On the Extreme Edge, a Double Triple: AT&T Domain 3.0 and Google Cloud 3.0June 22, 2017The “software-defined” focus of telecom means not only separation of the control plane and the data plane with a centralized view of the whole network or its major parts but also a distribution of intelligence—read compute—in stepping stones toward the extreme edge of the network. We hear “edge compute” embodied in such efforts as MEC, at first in “Mobile Edge Compute,” morphing into “Multi-access Edge Compute”.Subscribers Only

Growth Elusive as Carrier Capex ShrinksJuly 05, 2016As the industry waits for 5G and SDN standards and technology to mature and the next wave of network investments to ramp, network equipment vendors with significant exposure and dependency on shrinking telco capex spending are forced to get more creative in order to deliver the higher levels of growth demanded by their shareholders and/or owners. This Analyst Insight takes a closer look at some of the different growth strategies in play across a range of players in the network equipment market as revealed at 4 recent analyst events hosted by Nokia, Huawei, Juniper, and Ciena. Though this represents a mix—2 large integrated vendors, a specialist routing vendor, and a specialist optical networking vendor—all face the same challenge of shifting from being hardware oriented to more software oriented, and all have a significant exposure to service providers who themselves are facing challenges in an increasingly competitive market.Subscribers Only
