Unlike SDN (software-defined Networking) of NFV (network functions virtualization), C-RAN might the hottest wireless acronym you've never heard of. C-RAN stands for Cloud RAN (radio access network) as well as the less catchy Centralized RAN. In either case, C-RAN leverages distributed base station architecture to enable a host of benefits, such as capex and opex savings, increased asset utilization and savings on energy. That could enable companies like Intel and IBM to become the suppliers for RAN infrastructure, analysts say, challenging traditional RAN vendors like Ericsson.

Sprint's (NYSE: S) pledge of unlimited data is looking increasingly less sustainable, as the carrier maneuvers to rein in network traffic generated by its heaviest data users and ensure quality of service for the majority of its customers. Postpaid as well as prepaid Sprint customers, including those on its Virgin Mobile USA and Boost Mobile sub-brands, have begun receiving notices alerting them to new data "prioritization management" the operator will employ as of next month to prevent network congestion. For example, a text message sent to Virgin Mobile customers said: "Beginning 6/1/14, to provide more customers with a high quality data experience during heavy usage times, Virgin Mobile USA may manage prioritization of access to network resources in congested areas for customers within the top 5 percent of data users." Prioritization can include a reduction of throughput or speed for those targeted users connected to congested sites. The approach "will enable us to provide more customers with a high quality data experience during heavy usage times," Sprint said in a statement sent to FierceWirelessTech. "Once the customer is no longer connected to a congested cell site, or the site is no longer congested, speeds will return to normal." Prioritization represents an evolution in Sprint's approach to handling a growing data onslaught. "The practice is not the result of a sudden spike; rather, data usage has been increasing on a steady and increasingly steep basis for years and we expect the trend to only continue in years to come as more customers use mobile applications and as those applications grow in complexity and capability," said Sprint spokesman Lloyd Karnes. In duplicate FAQ pages on the Sprint, Virgin and Boost websites, the network operator contends the heaviest data users consume a disproportionate share of network resources. Sprint said it has employed "fairness algorithms" on its CDMA and LTE networks to "dynamically allocate available bandwidth in a way that is fair to all users." Regarding its WIMAX network, Sprint said it may periodically measure a user's bandwidth usage as well as overall bandwidth usage for all users on a segment or sector and the make temporary adjustments in available network resources as needed. One problem for customers under the Sprint's prioritization scheme is that there is no exact amount of data consumption that will place them within the top 5 percent of users in any given month, and the threshold will change monthly as demand changes. But Sprint said customers who typically use 5 GB or more in a given month will likely be in that uppermost tier. A customer who slips into that group will be subject to network prioritization during the following month of service. "Customers that continue to fall within the top 5 percent of data users will continue to be subject to prioritization," Sprint said. Boost and Virgin have throttled users' speeds down to 256 kbps since spring 2012 if they exceed 2.5 GB of data usage in a monthly cycle. In March, Virgin and Boost customers were told that starting this month those using more than 2.5 GB of data would have their data speeds reduced to 128 kbps. Customers can top up to re-start their monthly billing cycle if they want to access faster 3G CDMA or LTE speeds. This month, Boost also unveiled a $60 monthly plan that includes 5 GB of data before throttling. By throttling its heaviest users to control congestion, Sprint is following the lead of the other three U.S. national mobile carriers. During September 2011, Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) implemented what it termed a "network optimization" plan to limit the bandwidth for the operator's top 5 percent of 3G smartphone users who are on a grandfathered unlimited data plan. One month later, AT&T Mobility (NYSE: T) instituted a similar plan, targeting the top 5 percent of users on unlimited plans in specific high-traffic locations. However, AT&T was forced to alter its approach in early 2012 after an outcry from users who were unprepared to have their speeds reduced, particularly in cases where some of them had only consumed 2 GB of data. AT&T's revised policy slowed speeds of unlimited data users who exceeded specific data thresholds. T-Mobile US (NYSE:TMUS) also uses a form of prioritization, noting "certain T-Mobile plans may be prioritized" over service plans under its GoSmart Mobile prepaid brand. For more:

2. Google's Project Loon will rely on carriers' licensed spectrum
Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Project Loon airborne Internet project will rely on telecom operators' licensed spectrum to deliver wireless Internet service to rural and remote areas, said Astro Teller, "captain of moonshots" at the secretive Google X labs. Teller made the statement onstage at the TechCrunch Disrupt NY conference in New York, telling the audience that Google initially hoped to acquire spectrum that was harmonized across countries. Prior to the project's launch, the Google X team worked for some six months to cut spectrum acquisition deals with unnamed "large companies" so it could use harmonized spectrum to deliver signals from its Loon balloon network in the stratosphere down to customers on the ground below. "We thought this was absolutely critical to the project and we wanted to get it done before we launched," Teller said in remarks reported by The Verge. But CEO Larry Page told the team to come up with something better than buying "a relatively thin piece of harmonized spectrum." Instead, Google decided to employ spectrum that is already licensed to telcos and Internet service providers (ISPs) in individual countries. Under that model, operators can lease Loon balloons as they pass overhead and deliver Internet service over their licensed spectrum, which generally includes large swaths of bandwidth. In addition, the model frees Google from needing to license any spectrum and will also make operators into Loon partners as they and Google extend Internet connectivity to underserved and unserved areas. Last month, PC World reported that Google has started testing Project Loon in the Nevada desert using paired radio spectrum that is commonly used for LTE transmissions. This likely reflects the company's intent to use spectrum that is licensed to operators. In addition to Project Loon, Google X projects include self-driving, glucose-sensing contact lenses, Google Glass and Flux, a collaborative-design software for building design that was recently spun off.

3. Kineto adds Wi-Fi-calling services to white-label smartphone app
Kineto Wireless said a new suite of voice services riding on its downloadable Smart Comms application will enable carriers to leverage their voice over LTE (VoLTE) or fixed IMS-based voice networks to offer voice-over-Wi-Fi calling, international VoIP calling, home line calling and second line service. Kineto took the wraps off its Smart Comms client application in January 2013, saying the app would enable operators to better leverage standard Rich Communications Suite (RCS) technology to enhance their current offerings and deliver new chat, VoIP and video services to compete with offerings from third-party over-the-top (OTT) service providers. The release of Smart Comms that includes the new features is being tested by a major European operator and other trials will begin this quarter, Kineto said. One of the app's new voice services, Wi-Fi calling, enables customers to make and receive standard mobile voice calls and SMS over any Wi-Fi network using their regular mobile number. "Mobile operators can turn the hundreds of millions of existing Wi-Fi networks deployed in the world into virtual small cells on their network," Kineto said. The international VoIP calling option enables operators to provide an alternative to third-party over-the-top (OTT) international calling services. It can be restricted by the operator to Wi-Fi or made available to subscribers on any suitable data connection, including 3G and LTE. Home line calling is designed for operators with both mobile and fixed networks and lets subscribers make and receive calls on their mobile using their home phone number. As with international VoIP, home line calling can be to Wi-Fi or enabled over 3G and LTE. Kineto's second line service operates as an OTT IP-based service and offers, not surprisingly, an additional phone number for calling and messaging. Kineto also disclosed the results of a recent online consumer survey that was made to assess the status of mobile voice coverage in residences. The survey revealed that 12 percent of all respondents classified mobile voice coverage within their home as poor to non-existent. However, many respondents with poor-to-no mobile voice coverage at home were also smartphone owners who have already configured their phone to connect automatically to a home Wi-Fi network. In the United States, 87 percent of respondents with poor-to-no coverage link to home Wi-Fi, while the number was 89 percent in the UK and 84 percent across Asia. The survey, sponsored by Kineto, was conducted in April 2014 and included more than 2,500 respondents from major North American, South American, Western European and Asian markets. Kineto announced in February 2014 that another of its products, the Smart Wi-Fi client, is being used by U.S. mobile operator Sprint (NYSE: S) to enable its subscribers to use their voice and messaging services over existing home, office and public Wi-Fi networks. The service also relies upon technology from Taqua, whose virtual mobile core system enables a handset to select between Wi-Fi and cellular using the strongest signal for voice calls as well as messaging.

4. FirstNet putting together two key network RFPs, solicits possible board members
The First Responders Network Authority is preparing two future requests for proposals (RFPs) related to the rollout of the national public-safety broadband network, according to TJ Kennedy, FirstNet's acting general manager. During his keynote presentation at the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) Broadband Summit in Washington, D.C., Kennedy said one RFP will be for a comprehensive network solution while the other will address network equipment and services. The LTE-based network will use FirstNet's 700 MHz spectrum. Discussing his presentation, Kennedy wrote in a blog entry on the FirstNet website: "I explained how FirstNet was conducting market research to better understand the assets that all partners can bring to the table in support of the planning and deployment of a nationwide public safety broadband network." Kennedy also told APCO attendees that FirstNet hopes to clarify rules and legal interpretations of the authority's enabling legislation, according to his prepared remarks, which were obtained by IWCE's Urgent Communications. Further, he indicated that FirstNet intends to solicit outside input regarding whether access to the FirstNet network should be restricted to fire, emergency medical services (EMS) and law enforcement or should be extended to critical-infrastructure entities such as utilities, which desire broadband spectrum to enable smart-grid technologies. "Some topics we anticipate putting out for public comment include eligible users and state opt-in/opt-out," Kennedy said. In other news, FirstNet's overseer, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), issued a notice seeking expressions of interest from people who would like to serve on the FirstNet board. Four of the 12 appointments of non-permanent members to the FirstNet Board are expiring in August 2014. One appointee whose term is expiring is FirstNet Chairman Sam Ginn, who was appointed to a two-year term starting in August 2012. The Secretary of Commerce may reappoint individuals to serve on the FirstNet board provided they have not served two consecutive full three-year terms. Expressions of interest from those who would like to fill any board vacancies will be accepted until May 23, 2014. For more:

5. Cloud4Wi enters the U.S. managed Wi-Fi hotspot arena
Competition in the U.S. managed public Wi-Fi hotspot industry just keeps growing. The latest player is Italian startup Cloud4Wi, which has expanded its managed Wi-Fi business to North America, announcing a new partner program for the region that the company says will enable managed service providers (MSPs) to create custom-branded Wi-Fi offerings and value-added services for their customers. Cloud4Wi actually made its first foray into the United States during December 2013, when it announced a partnership with iPass Unity Managed Network Services. The strategic partnership enables iPass Unity to provide custom-branded managed hotspot services with applications for guest access. Cloud4Wi joins competitors such as Boingo Wireless, Gowex and Ruckus Wireless, all of which have launched managed Wi-Fi platforms in the United States. Cloud4Wi's expansion is being enabled by an investment from United Ventures, which backed the company's $4 million Series A funding round. Andrea Calcagno, CEO of Cloud4Wi, said MSPs can use Cloud4Wi's wares to "target any industry and support any client's Wi-Fi strategy with social media, analytics, marketing, advertising, localization and branded offerings to create new and expanding revenue streams." Of course, advertising relies upon data analytics about end users, and some of Cloud4Wi's applications provide tools for analyzing customer demographics and behaviors, and, in turn, customizing the user experience. Other Cloud4Wi apps include Geo Chat (chatting with others), Net Coupons (instant discounts), Nearby (detail about other businesses nearby), Instant Win (contests) and Pin-Up (visitor comments), as well as weather and news apps.
