by Gary Audin Can you accurately predict your applications such as UC&C as well as your infrastructure requirements? Predictions have become harder to create much less realize. The enterprise needs to be agile and depend less on the hardware. Dedicated hardware structures can lock in solutions that are hard to modify, change, and scale.

Don Witt of The Channel Daily News speaks with Kiva Allgood, VP of Business Development with Qualcomm, about their installation of IoT on premise in commercial facilities to provide the information needed to accurately allocate convention center for costs, for example, to trade/entertainment show customers. Both have different requirements and can now be billed based on actual usage of utilities, internet, facilities and more. Qualcomm has installed the technology internally to Alpha test the solutions. Kiva goes on to discuss announcements with GE where they will be implementing their current technology on the Qualcomm campus. Using Verizon for communications, data is collected from the IoT devices for evaluation and future changes. Billions, maybe trillions of times a day… We often do what many thought was impossible. That’s how often people around the world touch something made better by Qualcomm. It could be the smartphone in your pocket, the tablet on your coffee table, that wireless modem in your briefcase… it could even be that navigation system in your car or that action camera strapped to your chest. Who is Qualcomm, and what do they do? They are engineers, scientists and business strategists. They are from many different countries and speak many different languages. They come from diverse cultures and have unique perspectives. Together, they focus on a single goal—invent mobile technology breakthroughs.

Spawned from the FCC ruling in 2012, shared wireless with 150Mhz of spectrum is making inroads into everyday life via the Carriers, enterprise companies and cloud companies taking advantage of the Citizens Broadband Initiative.

0

The 2012 FCC initiative is discussed by Federated Wireless CEO Iyad Tarazi with Don Witt of The Channel Daily News. This Initiative takes previously exclusive military spectrum and allows the sharing with: •    Government •    Telecommunications carriers •    Enterprise •    Average user The shared spectrum can be said to be positioned in between WiFi and the licensed spectrum providing the shared components of WiFi with the performance and predictability of licensed spectrum. In this model, a user can get assigned a certain range of spectrum, for the time that they need it, the place that they need it and it is protected allowing them to build networks on it without having to acquire a license. Federated Wireless continues to work on the definition of the spectrum with several organizations, however, there are a few models in test now: •    In the home •    In the office •    Hot spot deployments in outdoor malls •    Hospitals •    Universities When included in a laptop, private 4G networks can be established and managed by the enterprise customer. This is another means to provide more control at the local level and offload the internet of some of the heavy lifting. About Federated Wireless Formed in 2012, Federated Wireless, Inc., a subsidiary of Allied Minds (LSE: ALM), provides innovative cloud-based wireless infrastructure solutions to extend the access of carrier networks. Our dynamic Spectrum Access System (SAS) will revolutionize the way in which spectrum is allocated, managed, and optimized. Our unique approach incorporates a neural network of radio sensors allowing interference free access to low-cost, high-quality, licensed spectrum. Our solution breaks down traditional barriers of high cost and exclusive spectrum. Our differentiated business model creates opportunities for more efficient and innovative approaches to spectrum.

Why you need an end-to-end segmentation strategy

We are effectively living in the middle of a cybercrime wave, with cyberattacks are reaching an average of 160 per week per organization. In research, conducted by VeraQuest and commissioned by Avaya, showed that virtually all 400 IT professionals responding to the survey agree that end-to-end segmentation is an essential security measure. But only one in four say their organization implements it.  According to the report, reasons for not using end-to-end segmentation include complexity (35%), lack of resources (29%), didn’t know it was possible (22%) or too risky to the rest of the network (22%). In this podcast, Randy Cross, Senior Director of PLM for Fabric and Infrastructure Products gives us a look at why so many enterprise managers are not fully deploying an “end-to-end segmentation strategy”and we discuss a path forward to take needed action. We also learn about the security issues end-to-end segmentation helps solve.   Save Save

No more lost calls when in buildings 200,000 square feet when they use the new Quatra technology from Cel-FI and Nextivity

Werner Sievers, President and CEO of Cel-FI and CEO of Nextivity, discusses the release of QUATRA, a smart signal booster from within a building to the normal cellular signal with Don Witt of The Channel Daily News from Telecom Reseller. Utilizing a star design, the technology will provide support for an area from 10,000 to 200K square feet. Common places of deployment are: •    Hospitals •    Warehouses •    Hospitality environment •    Industrial environment •    High Tech •    Other types of buildings Supporting multiple types of technology from IoT, Cellular, & WiFi, the Quatra will take advantage of 5G as it evolves. Security of the product is as secure as the normal cellular technology. Speed of deployment and personnel needed to install QUATRA is an advantage for Cel-FI.  Cel-FI designed QUATRA to me mass installed.  The Radio Frequency expert is no longer needed. The traditional IT personnel will be able to deploy the devices in short order. Cel-Fi QUATRA is a self-configuring system built on award-winning Cel-Fi Smart Signal Booster® technology, which is unconditionally network safe, and approved for use by carriers on their networks. Cel-Fi QUATRA is specifically designed for easy installation. Unlike typical DAS systems that can require between 12 and 24 months for deployment from start to finish, Cel-Fi QUATRA can be ordered, delivered, installed, and operational in a matter of weeks—and at a lower installed cost per sq. ft. Cel-Fi QUATRA achieves this by eliminating much of the complexity associated with delivering in-building coverage. Cel-Fi QUATRA is comprised of a Network Unit (NU), which contains the antennas that receive the donor cellular signal; and the Coverage Unit (CU), which contains actively powered antennas that transmit the cellular signal throughout the venue to users. Cel-Fi QUATRA offers exceptional value and optimal performance when installed off-air or tethered to a small cell.

If you are a carrier and are looking for insight into how big data may help you, listen to Yifat Kafkafi, Big Data Evangelist at Amdocs, reveal her thoughts to Don Witt of The Channel Daily News from Telecom Reseller about carrier benefits with Big Data. Ultimately, the carrier will want to understand their customers better to trigger actions which will make each customer interaction the most optimal and personalized for that individual customer. When combining the carrier data with third party data, a richer and more detailed profile is created. Big Data has already set the bar so that call centers are expected to know who the customer is when they call in and should know what the problem or question is that the customer has or will be asking. While Big Data analytics is still new, the progress that is being made on a daily basis is astonishing. Listen in and find out more from Yifat. You will not be disappointed. No other industry generates as much volume and variety of data as the communications industry. Service providers need to embrace this new reality to drive efficiencies through their business, ignite new revenues and improve the customer experience, which is the key differentiator in this industry. Amdocs provides a carrier-grade, big data analytics solution that accumulates, manages and transforms service providers' data assets to deliver real-time, actionable business value.
