A conversation I had earlier today with Dan Meyer at RCR Wireless is now posted on YouTube. We talked about small cells, past and future.

Mobile networks are becoming primarily data networks, moving to a flatter and more open architecture that is inherently more vulnerable to security threats. See our new white paper on this topic.

The answer to this question is easy: We need both small cells and Wi-Fi to fit all the traffic generated by smartphone, tablets and laptops. But what is the respective role of Wi-Fi offload and small cells?

The brand new Small Cell World Summit (used to be the Femtocell World Summit) will be in a few week's time in London - I will be there and look forward to seeing you there if you plan to attend (you can get a 10% discount with the SCWSSENZ code). The program is impressive and it is a nice chance to catch up with many small-cell aficionados.

A forthcoming white paper by Senza Fili for Mavenir Systems, reveals the detailed cost implications of a transition to VoMBB voice in HSPA, LTE and Wi-Fi networks that will free 2G and 3G capacity for data, and will enable future plans for spectrum refarming. Here is a preview of the paper results.

What will drive disruption in the wireless industry over the next three years? In a survey sponsored by Radisys, we posed this question to decision makers and thought leaders at mobile operators worldwide to get their personal insights. This is what we found...

In a recent report, I argued that data caps are not effective as a traffic management tool as they may encourage peak traffic, and thus increase congestion, instead of containing it. Fairly enough, one question that I often get is what works then, if data caps don't. Mobile operators have different tools--Wi-Fi and small-cell offload, policy, content optimization, QoS-based tiering to name a few--and they will have to employ many of them to manage traffic effectively.
