The world is focused Brazil as the 2014 World Cup kicks off (pardon the pun), and with streaming video and huge crowds, network infrastructure is sure to be tested. The number of terrestrial and mobile viewers tuning into the games from all around the world is sure to be massive. Aptilo Networks is helping to lighten the load by offering Wi-Fi offloading and carrier Wi-Fi throughout the country and in Maracanã Stadium. Thinking green is more than positive public positioning-these days it is a competitive advantage, and in some cases, an operational necessity. Sustainability was a major topic at GENBAND Perspectives this week in Orlando, where energy savings in the data center of up to 95% were outlined. In a recent announcement, Verizon and GE partnered up on energy efficiency, and reported similar power reductions. How fast can mobile data travel? SK Telecom and Nokia have been pushing the LTE speed limit to the max, and recently broke their own record with 3.78 Gbps throughput. They achieved this feat by aggregating 10 spectrum frequencies in both TDD and FDD LTE, creating a massive 200 MHz of bandwidth.
