I just finished a new white paper on LTE security and network protection sponsored by Stoke. The paper is about the radio-to-core link in LTE networks, and the expansion of the role of the security gateway at the border between RAN and EPC.

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.

At the Small Cell Americas, Dallas, I gave a presentation on how to optimize small-cell TCO, but using multiple interfaces, Wi-Fi, multi-sector equipment, infrastructure or backhaul sharing.

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.

Mobile operators face one of the biggest challenges in their existence. After decade of growing subscribership and ARPU, in developed countries everybody who cares for it has a mobile phone and most subscribers are getting more services, but paying less for them.

I have written extensively on how both small cells and Wi-Fi are needed to provide the capacity boost we need to meet the rapidly growing traffic load, and mostly expounded on the strategic and deployment merits of the argument. But any decision about how small cells and Wi-Fi will coexist in the sublayer depends to a great extent on the underlying economics.

I will be in Dallas next week for the LTE North America conference and look forward to seeing you at the analyst breakfast on Wednesday 14 at 8:00am. It will be on small-cell backhaul.
Also, you can set up some time to meet during the analyst clinic on Thursday 15 from 3:30pm to 4:30pm.
