Nokia's Gainspeed Acquisition Used to Improve Cable Performance
9/27/2016 - Even though the number of mobile broadband users continues to increase, with 3.3 million new subscribers between April 2015 to March 2016, 62 percent of broadband subscriptions are controlled by cable. But as cable faces increased competition from telecoms, the industry is deploying new technologies so it can better provide high-speed data and IP video services to address next-generation communications solutions consumers and organizations use. Nokia is making this possible by using the technology of Gainspeed, a Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) provider with a Virtual CCAP (Converged Cable Access Platform) technology.

Nokia, Netherlands Get Together on Drone-Based Smart City Management
9/26/2016 - It's easy to think that drones are for nothing but trying to photograph celebrities, especially after the recent Mike Rowe ruckus, but drones can do so much more than snap candid pictures from long distances. Nokia and the Netherlands recently got together to put together a new testing facility geared toward making drone aircraft the focus of a traffic management concept that helps keep cars rolling smoothly along.

Nokia Bell Labs Achieves Terabit-per-second in a Joint Research
9/23/2016 - In just five years, the overall global population of people using the Internet has grown 60 percent, from 2 billion users in 2011 to more than 3.4 billion people in 2016. This is in part responsible for producing 2.5 exabytes of data every single day, which is 2,684,354,560 gigabytes. And as the amount of data continues to increase at unprecedented scales, the infrastructure to carry the data has to provide faster traffic, which is what Nokia Bell Labs, Deutsche Telekom T-Labs and Technical University of Munich have accomplished with a one Terabit-per-second transmission in a groundbreaking optical technology trial.

Nokia, T-Mobile Test 5G, Show Staggering Results
9/22/2016 - We all knew that 5G was going to be something amazing to see, especially since many of us remember what it was like to go from 3G to 4G. 5G's commercial arrival in a little over three years should probably be even more impressive, given some are already describing it as "fiber without the fiber." Recent tests from Nokia and T-Mobile, meanwhile, are showing just what this technology can do, and we should be in for one doozy of a ride once this starts up in earnest.

Nokia Inching Closer to 5G with Rollout of 4.9G Kit
9/12/2016 - When 5G is fully deployed, our wireless experience will improve dramatically by connecting users to each other and a world of information and services.

Webinar: Managing the Complexity of a Connected World
8/17/2016 - It may be stating the obvious, but with conservative estimates about the number of connected devices that the Internet of Things (IoT) era is ushering in placed at the tens of billions (that is "billions" with a "B") in just the next few years, the prospects for managing them is going to be, in a word, "complicated." From securing data at rest and in motion to understanding changes in status state of devices (alarms as well as for maintenance) to delivery of software upgrades and "E"verything in between, realities are that the number of capabilities that already need to be monitored and managed is daunting on a variety of fronts. And, we are still on the bottom of the on-ramp of the learning curve when it comes to IoT.

Accenture Study Finds Most Enterprises Not Ready for Digital Disruption
7/27/2016 - At its core, next generation communications is all about innovations that allow us to have more enriched personal lives and for organizations to be more efficient, effective and profitable. However, as the old axiom says, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink." Thus, while there is universal acknowledgement that we live in what I have called "The Age of Acceleration"-where the only constants are change and the speed at which it is increasing, putting a premium on accommodating it-the question that arises is whether the horses are drinking the water. In short, a failure to accommodate change is an invitation to be disrupted rather than be a disruptor.
