Increase in capacity - and especially capacity density, i.e., capacity per sqmile - is the main driver to LTE rollouts. But to fully benefit from LTE performance (and ability to use a frequency reuse of 1), operators need to carefully manage interference to minimize its impact.

Could mobile operators planning to move to fiber backhaul meet their backhaul requirements in the short term and save money, by deploying wireless backhaul first and move to fiber later? Our model shows that over 10 years, operators can save up to 27% when deploying wireless first, and building a fiber network later.

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 do mobile operators think about VoLTE? Operators like MetroPCS and Verizon have announced aggressive VoLTE plans, with MetroPCS planning to launch two to three VoLTE handsets before the end of 2012, and Verizon expecting to launch VoLTE by early 2013. But what are the views of the people that shape the strategy at mobile operators on VoLTE? We conducted a survey of mobile operators and this is what we found out.

Growth in demand and worries about supply levels are driving an increase in oil prices. Why aren't traffic growth and capacity limitations raising the prices (and monetization opportunities) for wireless data?

In our first conversation, we talk to Stephen Rayment of BelAir about the role of cable operators in in helping mobile operators address the increase in data usage that they are seeing among smartphone, tablet and laptop users, and that it is causing congestion. We look at this from a network infrastructure viewpoint, and more specifically focus on Wi-Fi offload and small cells.

LTE does not only deliver more capacity to mobile operators overwhelmed by traffic growth. It is also brings innovation in the RAN, where operators have started to experiment with new topologies, new ways to leverage existing equipment in new deployments, and more flexible network planning and managing tools and interference.
