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.

Piece from FierceWireless on how devices like the Fitbit create an area of continuous connectivity around mobile devices that is used both to collect data and present it back to the user.

Wi-Fi can be-and increasingly is-more than an offload interface onto which operators direct traffic and forget about it. When adopting an integrated, carrier-grade Wi-Fi access platform with policy functionality in the core network, operators retain visibility into the subscriber experience, can support new services that add value to their mobile broadband plans, and increase revenues.

When the issue of mobile security comes up, most of the time it is about the mobile devices. Yet, there is another side to mobile security. It is the mobile network itself.

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?

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.

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.

Personal identity is an intriguing issue philosophy – I spent countless hours in university debating whether or not you are still yourself if you forget everything about your past, or your brain is moved to another body, or somebody else’s brain is transplanted to your body. I would not have thought that I would much later encounter the same topic in wireless telecom.

M2M has a staggering potential for disrupting wireless telecoms on a scale comparable to mobile broadband, yet growth is still elusive. A new model that relies on smartphones or tablet to display and aggregate data may change that, but it may also threaten the monetization efforts from mobile operators.
