The benefits to the transformation to next generation networks for operators are obvious. However, this challenging transition will not happen overnight, it will require operators to continue to leverage their legacy network infrastructure. At present, operators are trying to bridge the gap between validating their all IP-network solutions for conformance, performance and interoperability and in some cases still maintaining a first-class service ...

3G and HSPA+, combined with the proliferation of smart devices and tablets, have ensured the emergence of a new class of mobile broadband services. However, this is generating traffic volumes that are unsustainable over legacy network architectures; which were initially designed for voice and low-speed data. Operators today require network infrastructures that can offer low latency, high bandwidth and greater flexibility to deliver mobile broadba...

Telecoms has evolved from single, fixed phone lines to sprawling international fixed and mobile networks, processing millions of calls, messages and data sessions. Legacy mobile network technology, covering NMT and TACS (1G) GSM (2G), GPRS (2.5G), UMTS (3G) and HSPA+ (3.5G), has developed from voice calls through SMS messaging to the more advanced mobile data services we now use on a daily basis. Indeed, the introduction of 3G and 3.5G networks h...
