AT&T Leverages DIRECTV Buy; AlcaLu Innovates with 5G; T-Mobile Wins with CEM

NEWSWIRE August.07.2015 Dear Indiana,   Now that AT&T's purchase of DIRECTV is a done deal, it's time to see what the company -- now the largest pay-TV provider in the world -- has in store. The first announcement was a merger of DIRECTV's advertising platform into AdWorks. This week, AT&T rolled out nationwide TV and wireless bundles, reflecting the kind of synergies created by combining the two businesses.   T-Mobile has consistently been in the headlines for its disruptive Un-Carrier strategy and capturing the vast majority of post-paid growth in the U.S. market, but are consumers happy with their service? The answer is yes, according to the latest J.D. Power study. In fact, T-Mobile beat out its competitors to take the top spot in the Wireless Customer Care study.   Mobile network operators are busy rolling out LTE and LTE-Advanced networks around the globe, but the next iteration in wireless, 5G, is creeping closer. Alcatel-Lucent is one company that is driving innovation in 5G, thanks in large part to Bell Labs. AlcaLu recently completed the 5GNOW project, which was awarded the highest scientific honor by the European Commission.  Best,   Jesse Cryderman Senior Editor NEWS HEADLINES 8/6/2015 KT and NEC Expand Collaboration to Include 5G Networking By expanding the scope of their collaboration, the companies will undertake further research and development of technologies for the "future network," including 5G and SDN/NFV.   Click here for the full story 8/6/2015 China Mobile Powers VoLTE Rollout with ZTE ZTE wins 70% overall allocation of contracts for newly-commissioned networks.   Click here for the full story 8/6/2015 AT&T Brings Massive "Eyeball" Antennae to Lollapalooza The Giant Eyeball Antenna provided attendees with 10x the capacity of a traditional single-beam antenna.   Click here for the full story 8/6/2015 Telstra Follows T-Mobile's Lead, Offers Free Apple Music Telstra will offer post-paid customers on iPhones a free year of Apple Music service.   Click here for the full story 8/6/2015 Ericsson Moves to Acquire Icon Americas, Boosts IT Strengths in LatAm Ericsson will acquire the assets of Guatemala-based Icon Americas, a consulting and systems integration company.   Click here for the full story 8/6/2015 BT Nets Another Contract with European Commission BT wins fixed voice services public tender (VOICE II) to serve major European institutions.   Click here for the full story 8/4/2015 AT&T Enhances Digital Life with Premium Security and Automation Package AT&T Digital Life customers told the company that they want more control over their energy and water usage, so Digital Life took that feedback to heart.   Click here for the full story 8/4/2015 Pyramid Research Provides Guidance on Smart City Strategies Smart cities offer new revenue streams for operators in maturing markets, but a less risky approach is to address various verticals that are attractive in themselves on a nationwide basis which can also form part of a broader smart city project.   Click here for the full story 8/4/2015 IoT Creating New Software Vendors, Says Gartner The Internet of Things (IoT) is turning many manufacturers of "things" into first-time software vendors that need licensing and entitlement management (LEM) solutions, according to Gartner, Inc.   Click here for the full story 8/4/2015 ZTE and U Mobile Collaborate on 5G Research in Malaysia MOU covers collaboration on Pre5G and 5G research to deliver next-generation network performance to Malaysian users.   Click here for the full story 8/4/2015 TWC's NaviSite Expands Cloud Offerings with VMware NaviSite will leverage industry leading VMware technology alongside its enterprise-class hosting and managed cloud services, to enable customers to expand their cloud infrastructure and scale their business.   Click here for the full story 8/4/2015 Sky Provides Video Anywhere with Sky Go Extra Whether it's a hotel room, a plane or the beach, whether it's on holiday or on the go - with Sky Go Extra, Sky customers can always bring the best entertainment with them.   Click here for the full story 8/3/2015 AT&T Debuts Nationwide TV and Wireless Bundle All-in-one plan connects four TVs, four smartphones, and includes 10GB of shareable data.   Click here for the full story 8/3/2015 SK Telecom Building World's First Seamless LTE Network for Maritime Communications SK Telecom will build a, LTE-M test network by May 2016.
