Pipeline Newswire for 01 May 2015

NEWSWIRE May.01.2015 Dear Indiana,   As Nepal recoils from the devastating earthquake it suffered on April 25, communication service providers (CSPs) have sprung into action. In the U.S., a large collection of CSPs have waived charges for calls and texts to Nepal, including AT&T, Skype, Sprint, T-Mobile, TWC, and Verizon. Vodafone has deployed an "Instant Network" team on the ground to connect rescue workers and families, and like many other companies, has made a large donation to relief efforts through the Vodafone Foundation.   Connectivity is crucial in times like these, but it can also help reduce crime before it happens. Ericsson has reported some interesting outcomes following the implementation of a connected smart city solution in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil. The system includes Ericsson's Integrated Operations Center, connected video, 100 miles of fiber, and systems integration software. Users can quickly and efficiently communicate urgent information, which improves public safety and saves lives. Check out the results.   The Comcast-TWC merger went belly up last week, but many others are moving forward as the industry continues its consolidation trend. LightTower Networks has scooped up Fibertech Networks, NetScout completed its acquisition of Tektronix, Fluke, and Arbor, and Amdocs will add to its extensive capabilities with the planned purchase of Comverse's BSS business.   Best,   Jesse Cryderman Senior Editor NEWS HEADLINES 4/30/2015 Vodafone Foundation Instant Network team deployed to Nepal Vodafone Foundation Instant Network team is now in Kathmandu and preparing to deploy Instant Network equipment to connect rescue workers and relatives.   Click here for the full story 4/30/2015 Huawei Unveils Carrier-Grade 4K Solution The solution delivers an improved video service to users through sharper colors, increased bandwidth, and excellent operations.   Click here for the full story 4/30/2015 Indonesia's Transvision Selects Amdocs to Support Rapid Subscriber Growth Amdocs billing and customer care solution will enable direct-to-home Pay TV provider to meet aggressive expansion plans and deliver innovative new services.   Click here for the full story 4/30/2015 Accurate Always Announces Voxida CenterSecure Solution CenterSecure is an intuitive, comprehensive call center audit tool for government, healthcare, and highly regulated industries.   Click here for the full story 4/30/2015 Sprint and Boingo Bring Seamless Wi-Fi to Millions of Sprint Travelers Strategic agreement enables access to Boingo Wi-Fi networks in 35 major U.S. airports.   Click here for the full story 4/30/2015 AT&T Expands Business Fiber to more than 180 Cities AT&T Business Fiber service delivers speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second in multi-tenant office buildings.   Click here for the full story 4/29/2015 Amdocs to Acquire Comverse BSS Assets Strategic acquisition expands and diversifies Amdocs' customer base; Amdocs will maintain and support Comverse BSS customers.   Click here for the full story 4/29/2015 Ericsson Emergency Response System Cuts Crime in Brazil The system includes the Integrated Operations Center, a connected video solution, 100 miles of fiber optic cable, and systems integration of software.   Click here for the full story 4/29/2015 Mitel Completes Acquisition of Mavenir Mitel will heat up the competition with IP communications for enterprises, service providers and mobile operators.   Click here for the full story 4/29/2015 Telefónica Taps NetCracker for Massive BSS Transformation Across 7 Countries NetCracker will transform Telefónica's BSS platforms for wireless and fixed services at seven Latin American Telefónica properties.   Click here for the full story 4/28/2015 Telefónica and Despegar Travel Together in Latin America Movistar clients in Latin America will benefit from exclusive discounts in Despegar.com tourist services.   Click here for the full story 4/28/2015 Verizon Outlines SDN Strategy Verizon is transforming its network by implementing a software defined network architecture, laying the groundwork for new innovative services and applications.   Click here for the full story 4/28/2015 AT&T Expands Live Channel Lineup for U-verse Mobile App AT&T U-verse recently updated its U-verse App to include 41 additional live channels and compatibility with a wearable.   Click here for the full story 4/28/2015 AlcaLu to Link Spain and Algeria with Orval Undersea Cable System Spanning more than 560 km, Orval will link Algeria to Spain address increasing demand for high-speed, high-quality broadband connectivity.   Click here for the full story 4/28/2015 CenturyLink Extends Global Data Center Footprint into Australia CenturyLink now offers managed hybrid IT services to regional and multinational corporations across five Australia locations.   Click here for the full story 4/28/2015 Following Approval, NetScout Moves Forward with Acquisition of Tektronix, Arbor, and Fluke NetScout Systems, Inc. has received unconditional clearance from the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for its proposed acquisition of the Communications Business of Danaher Corporation.   Click here for the full story 4/27/2015 Lightower Fiber Networks to Merge with Fibertech Networks The combined company will own and operate a high-performance, fiber-based network throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest.   Click here for the full story 4/27/2015 Nokia Networks gets the Nod from Gartner for LTE Infrastructure, Vision Gartner recognizes Nokia Networks in Leaders quadrant of Magic Quadrant for LTE Network Infrastructure.
