15 March, 2021Virtualised, dynamic, open networks present a constantly moving surface upon which communications service providers (CSPs) will need to analyse data to assure service operations. However, those service operations are forever changed, and to achieve comprehensive results, assurance and analytics needs to happen continuously across the radio access networks (RAN) and in the virtualised 5G core.
10 November, 2020CSPs face considerable market challenges that can be addressed by a more personalised approach to their customers. There are many opportunities to innovate in this area, to introduce new services that customers will find valuable, increase the opportunity for direct contact to learn more about individual customer needs and to build trust in the CSP brand.
In spite of public protests, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced plans to end the use of net neutrality in 2015, and in June 2018 the US officially repealed the rules that restricted the way internet providers could treat data. The impact was quickly felt. Research released in September 2018 by Northeastern University and the University of Massachusetts revealed that YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and NBC Sports were the main targets of slowing data speeds, or throttling.

It’s not just about connectivity anymore.
19 March, 2018Among the drones, phones, cars and, yes, spacecraft at this year’s Mobile World Congress, it was easy to think the BSS talk was simply business as usual. However, there were several clear indicators at the show that business as usual is no longer fit for purpose in the digitally transformed telecoms industry of the future, writes George Malim.
09 November, 2017What will tomorrow’s digital landscape look like? That question has always been difficult to answer, but even the most devoted future-gazers are struggling to address it today, writes Rafael Laguna, the chief executive and co-founder of Open-Xchange. At the very least, it seems logical to assume that there will be more of everything – more data, IoT devices, smartphones, embedded systems and online users. This will prove even more challenging when it comes to protecting families and children, given the abundant and confusing array of platforms available to them.
16 January, 2017Procera Networks, a provider of deep packet inspection (DPI) technology, has announced a record number of contract wins and deployments during the past 12 months. The software provider’s customer base was bolstered by 36 new tier one service provider contracts in 2016 alone.
