When Dialogic introduced the SR140 “virtual fax board,” it provided clients with the flexibility to move all their fax traffic to an IP network, thus lowering telephony costs, eliminating hardware failures, and allowing the design of economical...

With voice-over-Wi-Fi (VoWi-Fi) now natively supported by both the Apple iPhone and Android-based handsets, telecom service providers are actively evaluating the risks and rewards of this new opportunity. In contrast to the plethora of currently available...

Last week , I introduced the NFV-based network diagram, and the complexity of all these pieces of software interacting. But how will they interact? This is all to be done via a Management and Orchestration (MANO) layer. Yes, there is MANO software entering...

Roaming, to borrow a phrase, wasn’t billed in a day. Revenue from roaming subscribers is an important part of overall carrier revenue, but generating mobile roaming revenue isn’t a simple matter of setting up a wireless network and waiting...

We’ve all likely seen the Gartner hype cycle for emerging technologies curve. I remember many, many years ago when I first saw that curve. I don’t even remember what it was about, but it had the Peak of Inflated Expectations, and then the...

Photo cred: Jason Howie Let’s face it: physical wallets can be a pain in the you-know-what. If you’re tired of sitting on a deck of cards—credit cards, debit cards, loyalty cards, etc.—the solution could be closer than you think...

“When you come to a fork in the road, take it”, Yogi Berra This last week, I did exactly that — taking a new fork in the road, starting my new role as Senior Director of Product Marketing at Dialogic. As with any big career change...

When 3G arrived, it was an eye-opening experience for mobile subscribers. But a religious experience? As it turns out, yes. One company, Spice Digital , is using real-time video streaming on 3G/4G devices to bring people closer to the religious experience...

It would be nice sometimes to live in a bubble where you would only have to deal with what was in that bubble. If a Voice over LTE (VoLTE) network existed in a bubble, it would have known multimedia requirements in the form of the codecs and functions...

It’s a billion-dollar problem for mobile network operators: blocking gray routes that allow Short Message Service (SMS) fraud to eat up network bandwidth and slow down network performance. And it’s only going to get worse as application-to...

We are thrilled to announce that ADG LDI Ltd has decided to modernize their interconnect network! As a premier telecommunications provider, ADG LDI offers interconnect services to both fixed and mobile network operators within Pakistan, and also provides...

Last week I was doing some research on WebRTC and I noticed that a lot of the information related to this topic was not from 2015; rather, it was from 2013 or 2014. As a result I couldn't help but wonder: Does that mean WebRTC is losing its steam...

The several ways that new voice-based technology will make IVR systems more interactive in the future.

In Part 1 of this series, I wrote about a couple of revenue generating ideas for IPX providers. So how can an IPX provider go about this? Firstly, the IPX platform needs to be up-to-date as well as support IPX standards.

Given that applications such as Skype and Whatsapp long ago leveraged first mover advantage and captured a dominant market share in the over-the-top (OTT) real time communications space, the question to ask is whether VoLTE simply offers cost reduction...

Waaayy back in 2008, ringback tones were music to the ears of the telco industry. The ringback tone (RBT) market in the U.S. had just peaked at $200+ million, and analysts were predicting global sales of $4.7 BILLION by 2012. Somewhere along the way,...

When I attended International Telecoms Week (ITW) back in May, I wrote about how voice wholesalers are looking to expand their business and innovate. IPX is an enabler for the revenue innovation that these voice wholesalers are looking for.

The death of the fax, to paraphrase Mark Twain, has been greatly exaggerated. While traditional fax services are declining, there are still more than 40 million fax machines in service around the world generating billions of faxes every year. And Fax...

Maybe you’re one of those people that still uses the factory-default ring tone, and that’s fine. Not everybody wants to hear the opening strains of Beethoven’s Fifth blaring from your pocket. But for many people, music makes up part...

About a month ago Erik Linask, Group Editorial Director at TMC, asked me for my thoughts on network functions virtualization (NFV)—you can read the entire interview here . One question he asked was why NFV adoption seems to be increasing. ...

Voice service is something a great deal of mobile subscribers take for granted. It is no longer a differentiator for MNO’s and MVNO’s in their service offerings. In fact, many mobile plans include unlimited voice. Data, email access, texting...

I’ve written about mobile value added services (VAS) multiple times over the years. While there is still a lot of money to be made with mobile VAS, there is no denying the fact that applications from third party businesses that use the cellular...

How will 5G ever become actualized if it requires CSPs to make sweeping changes to their legacy investments and infrastructure? Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) are envisioned to facilitate the transition of...

Maybe the old physicians’ line should have gone “Take one pill and call me in the morning.” That’s because nearly half of all patients don’t take their medication as prescribed, something known as medication nonadherence...

When comparing the network capacity and performance of present-day LTE-Advanced (aka IMT-Advanced) and other cellular technologies (shown in the below table) to the demands of 5G, it becomes quite obvious that such demands are not attainable using these...
