Nokia (NOK) Tests Intercontinental Connectivity With Vodafone Turkey

/in


Nokia Corporation NOK recently conducted a successful trial with Vodafone Turkey, an operating unit of Vodafone Group Plc VOD, to test the efficacy of intercontinental connectivity with the first 1T (terabit) clear-channel IP interface. The trial is part of the network modernization initiative of Vodafone Turkey, as it aims to scale up operations to effectively handle exponential growth in data traffic.

The test was undertaken by using Nokia’s 7950 XRS (Extensible Routing System) routers with terabit interfaces powered by its FP4 chipset. Leveraging modular and extensible hardware design that ensures granular and economical scaling up to 96 Tb/s HD capacity in a standard 19” rack, 7950 XRS routers enable carriers to build a versatile, reliable and converged core network. It helps to address the entire range of core routing requirements on common hardware with a flexible, pay-as-you-go software licensing model.

The FP4 network processor is the reportedly the world’s first 3.0 Tb/s network processor and enables service providers and webscale operators to implement vast IP networks without sacrificing on performance. The FP4 terabit linecard offers two 1T ports that boost network capacity by about 10 times, simplifying operational complexity and cost overhead by eliminating the requirement of multiple lower rate interfaces in link aggregation groups. The multi-access mobile transport architecture will deliver high capacity, low latency 5G services to optimize network functioning and facilitate Vodafone Turkey to ramp up operations to better serve one of the world’s largest intercontinental markets.

By unlocking network efficiencies with common operability, software delivery and increased hardware sharing, Nokia has been able to reduce the total cost of ownership for mobile operators. The company is well positioned for the ongoing technology cycle given the strength of its end-to-end portfolio. Its installed base of high-capacity AirScale product, which enables customers to quickly upgrade to 5G, is growing fast. The company is driving the transition of global enterprises into smart virtual networks by creating a single network for all services, converging mobile and fixed…

SMEs offered better broadband, wifi and online security from Vodafone deal – Growth 2000

Better connectivity is now essential for growth

Better connectivity is now essential for growth

One of the biggest challenges for SME businesses and growing retailers is connectivity. With online now making up a larger chunk of business and the need to not only connect consumers but also staff and systems, the network is now all.

 

In response to this growing demand for resilient networking via wifi and broadband, Vodafone has partnered with Cisco to launch ‘Complete Connectivity’, a new broadband and Wi-Fi solution designed for small and medium businesses (10 – 250 employees) and offering reliable and secure broadband connectivity across sites, with advanced security features to ensure SMEs have everything required to stay connected, secure and in complete control.

 

Complete Connectivity is designed to provide simple-to-manage, enterprise grade hardware and software to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) without the need for in-house expertise to operate. Industry leading advanced security features such as Advanced Malware Protection, Intrusion Prevention and Content Filtering also come as standard.

 

It also features an in-built mobile backup system that kicks in seamlessly should you lose WI-FI connectivity to ensure your internet connection isn’t disrupted.

 

The Federation of Small Business estimates 10,000 hacking attempts are made every day on small businesses and their users. With the rise in remote working, these cyberattacks are more prevalent than ever. This means SMEs need to prioritise best-in-class security when considering their broadband needs.

 

Starting at £70 per month on a three-year term per site, customers have access to Vodafone Superfast Fibre Broadband offering speeds of up to 76mbps to your business premises and the in-built mobile backup – should your broadband go down; the connection will automatically and seamlessly switch to Vodafone’s 4G mobile network.

 

Users also get Cisco Meraki advanced security features to keep employees, customers and business safe, as well as automatic and continuous updates from world leading security researchers to ensure you have optimal protection against new and emerging cyber threats.

 

Through integration with the Cisco Meraki platform,…

Telstra, Vodafone team up for mobile speed improvements – Pickr

/in


If you’re with either Telstra or Vodafone, you may seem some faster mobile speeds across some of Australia’s biggest cities thanks to a collaboration.

It’s always good to see companies working together for the benefit of customers across the divide. Even though they’ll typically focus on their own customers, every so often something can benefit everyone.

Take Telstra’s anti-piracy mechanism which it runs across its network, which also affects the virtual operators that use its network. If you’re a subscriber of Mate, Boost, Belong, or Woolies Mobile, you technically use the Telstra network, and therefore get the benefit of the Telstra security system to help prevent an onslaught of scammers.

But it’s not the only thing Telstra is sharing, as it teams with TPG Telecom to restack and essentially defrag 4G spectrum in major cities outside of Sydney. A technical process to better connect parts of the mobile spectrum, it has meant an improvement in mobile data speeds in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Darwin, Hobart, and Perth, with Telstra and Vodafone reporting speed increases of up to 20 percent.

To do this, Telstra and TPG (which merged with Vodafone in Australia) joined several 10MHz spectrum blocks to form 20MHz blocks, a technical process that seems small, but can improve the speed and range.

“Larger spectrum blocks are more efficient and mean we can deliver faster mobile network speeds to our customers,” said Nikos Katinakis, Group Executive for Networks and IT at Telstra.

“Thanks to this project, we have seen average 4G speeds improve in every city where the restack was done by at least 10% and in Canberra and Darwin by 20%,” he said. “This means better speeds and better capacity for our customers in these areas, even at busier times on our network.”

It’s a move that will see subscribers to both Telstra and Vodafone reaping the benefits of improved speed and capability, and may extend beyond the 4G it was applied to in the coming years.

“We are continually looking at ways we can improve the customer experience across our mobile network,” said Barry Kezik, Executive General Manager of Mobile and Fixed Networks for TPG…
