In addition, Amdocs will be expanding its CES (Customer Experience Systems) portfolio with QOS-focused, geo-located network data that will drive a variety of optimization use cases.Īmdocs believes it will be the first supplier to offer customer experience-driven network optimization software and services based on a holistic view of the customer experience across all domains. These solutions will be agnostic to manufacturers of network equipment and components. The goal is to provide communication service providers with a wide range of product-led services to better optimize their hybrid mobile networks, including solutions that can accelerate the rollout of existing networks and new network deployments such as LTE, WiFi and small cells. The deal builds upon and enhances Amdocs' recent acquisition of Actix. This announcement reflects our belief that F5 is ideally positioned to help organizations take advantage of today’s exciting and disruptive technologies, without prohibitive complexity or tradeoffs in application performance and security," stated Manny Rivelo, EVP of Strategic Solutions at F5.Īmdocs said the acquisition expands it customer experience portfolio further into network software. To support this growth, we view the ability to massively scale services, elastically provision resources, and interoperate with a variety of open and proprietary platforms as non-negotiable. With Synthesis, we are better aligning around the priorities and deployment preferences of enterprises and service providers to best address the direction IT is headed-billions of users, trillions of internet-connected devices, and millions of essential applications. “F5 is highly aware of the shifts transforming the Application Delivery Controller (ADC) market, based on ongoing dialogue with customers, partners, and industry influencers. In support of this vision, F5 is introducing a tiered licensing model to consolidate purchasing options for its solutions and significantly reduce customer costs when application services are deployed in concert versus individually.
A centralized management system enables the automated discovery, topology, and provisioning of service fabric instances, reducing the operational overhead associated with manual processes. The network was launched one year ago.į5 said its ScaleN services fabric can support up to 1.28 million instances in a combination of administrative domains and virtual instances with a combined throughput of 20.5 TB and connection capacity of 9.2 billion.
The company noted that the BBC iPlayer streams at 5Mbps, whereas 4K TV will stream at 20Mbps, implying that applications will emerge to take advantage of LTE-A capabilities.ĮE also said that it now has over 1.2 million 4G customers and a 4G network that covers 131 towns and cities - approximately 60% of the population. "The network we're switching on today in Tech City uses the spectrum that we acquired in the Ofcom spectrum auction earlier this year, and is the first part of an infrastructure that can meet the future demands of an increasingly data-hungry nation, enabling us to stay one-step ahead of the demand." We know that mobile data usage is going to keep increasing, and rapidly so," stated Swantee. Our existing 4G network delivers incredible mobile data speeds and covers millions of people across the country, but we never stand still. "Today we are introducing the next age of 4G mobile technology to the UK. Huawei is EE's 4G technology partner for this world-leading mobile innovation. The device can provide a high speed mobile Wi-Fi connection to up to twenty devices, and devices enabled with 802.11ac can access speeds as high as 200Mbps.ĮE expects that the the first commercially available Mobile Wi-Fi units will be introduced by summer 2014, also by Huawei, with handsets to follow in the second half of the year.ĮE CEO Olaf Swantee showcased the launch at the Huawei Global Mobile Broadband Forum in London. On the customer side, there is a CAT6 Huawei router with 802.11ac Wi-fi. EE is combining 20MHz of 1800MHz spectrum and 20MHz of 2.6GHz spectrum using an LTE-Advanced architecture.
EE has launched a 300Mbps 4G in the Tech City neighbourhood of London - the fastest, commercial service delivered over a mobile network to date.ĮE service has a theoretical maximum downlink speed of 300Mbps that is enabled by carrier aggregation.
