Pipeline Newswire for 27 February 2015

NEWSWIRE February.27.2015 Dear Indiana,   What happens when you combine NFV and SDN with LTE? Nokia Networks has an answer, and an ETSI Proof of Concept (PoC) to boot -- check it out! Nokia's innovation applies SDN to the entire backhaul, transport, and core of an LTE network, creating a fully virtualized mobile network. This is the kind of design we expect will typify networks of the future. Nokia is also innovating with Licensed Access Assist (LAA), a technology that leverages carrier aggregation across both licensed and unlicensed spectrum (Wi-Fi). T-Mobile just announced that its small cells are getting a boost with LAA from Nokia Networks.   AT&T investments in CEM seem to be paying off, as the company received two more laurels this week. The latest J.D. Power survey ranked AT&T number one for wireless purchase experience, and Fortune named AT&T the most admired telecommunications company in the world. Earlier in February, the company also topped J.D. Power's wireless customer care survey.   Do you hear that buzz? That's the whir of global press engines as they wind up for Mobile World Congress 2015, where more than 80,000 attendees will turn Barcelona, Spain into the mobile capital of the world. The event next week will likely be dominated by 5G, IoT, and network virtualization technologies (NFV, SDN). Pipeline is prepping too, and we'll be reporting live from Spain -- maybe we'll see you there? If not, stay tuned to the News Center for the latest updates from MWC2015.   Best,   Jesse Cryderman Senior Editor NEWS HEADLINES 2/26/2015 Tele2 Unveils 4G/LTE for M2M/IoT The benefits of 4G/LTE are now enabled in the Tele2 M2M Control Center which is managed by Jasper, a global leader in IoT platforms.   Click here for the full story 2/26/2015 CenturyLink Achieves Terabit Speeds in Field Trial The successful trial demonstrates scalability of CenturyLink's network using Ciena's WaveLogic 3 Coherent technology.   Click here for the full story 2/26/2015 Frontier Partners with TiVo, Combines OTA with OTT Frontier's high-speed Internet customers will enjoy a consistent TV experience spanning major broadcast channels and over the top (OTT) content via TiVo's unified cloud-based service.   Click here for the full story 2/26/2015 NEC Wireless Innovation Dramatically Boosts Capacity Efficiency NEC's innovative amplitude modulation results in groundbreaking transmission efficiency at a 112MHz bandwidth, which enables optical fiber-level transfer rates of over 1Gbps (single-carrier/ single polarization).   Click here for the full story 2/26/2015 Huawei Unveils New 5G-Oriented Air Interface Technologies Huawei's 5G R&D team has achieved remarkable breakthroughs in 5G air interface, virtualized radio access, as well as new RF technologies.   Click here for the full story 2/26/2015 Tanzanians to Enjoy Africa's First Universal Mobile Money Service The agreement means that four million Tigo Pesa users will for the first time be able to exchange money with six million M-Pesa customers in Tanzania later this year.   Click here for the full story 2/25/2015 Ericsson Small Cell as a Service Connects Football Fans in Poland Ericsson will provide a managed services solution that includes Wi-Fi technology and planning, design, implementation, integration, optimization and maintenance services.   Click here for the full story 2/25/2015 New NEC Tech Integrates Disparate Networks for SDN As this enables networks to be combined using standard operations, it will make it easy to configure, operate and manage networks.   Click here for the full story 2/24/2015 Verizon Report Reveals Increased Adoption of IoT According to Verizon's report, the Internet of Things is being fueled by technological, political and social factors that are driving more organizations to adopt IoT-enabled solutions.   Click here for the full story 2/24/2015 Telefónica Unveils Biometric Solutions for Identity Protection Telefónica aims to retain digital confidence through the reduction of fraud and the problems derived from identity theft.   Click here for the full story 2/24/2015 Vodafone Strikes Global Communications Partnership with Deutsche Bank Under the contract, Vodafone will take over the delivery and support of fixed and mobile voice services across 28 countries.
