Data Technologies in 3G Access Networks: Meeting the Demand for New Mobile Services

Overview Service providers are moving toward a model where anything that can be performed on a current IP network today, can be performed on a 3G wireless network. Data is being driven into all aspects of mobile networks. For most mobile operators this means moving away from running packet-switched services over Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) networks, and running data over an efficient and cost effective data-focused infrastructure. By sharing resources between multiple access networks (2G, 2.5G, 3G), over a single transport infrastructure, both CAPital EXpenditure (CAPEX) and OPerating EXpense (OPEX) are reduced.

IP over everything?

The aim is to save on the capital expenditure of building a dedicated IP network, the cost of which is testified to from the absence of native IP network players where once there were many hopeful start-ups.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
