leading edge Innovating the Global Mobile Internet
The world loves two telecom technologies: mobile phones and the Internet. We just can’t live without our iPhones, Androids and BlackBerries. Not to speak of our laptops, PCs and TVs. As a result, the telecom industry sees a mix of
tremendous growth, technology innovation and towering challenges ahead. We find these challenges not only in mobile networks, but also in optical, business and residential networks. In discussions with customers around the world,
we hear similar concerns: n How do you keep up with annual mobile data traffic growth of 30% to 50% or more?
n How do you limit capital needs and keep operating costs in line?
n How do you deliver a quality of user experience that is unmatched?

Mobile Internet Revolutionizes Networks In the mobile Internet, one path that service providers may choose is a common mobile packet core network for 2G, 3G and 4G mobile networks, says industry analyst Gabriel Brown of Heavy Reading (page 16). Mobile packet core is the key to gaining a commercial competitive advantage in the mobile Internet, says Brown. But there’s real risk in addressing tomorrow’s mobile
Internet needs with the built-in constraints of the fixed Internet. A more thoughtful approach may be required (pages 6-7), says Tellabs CTO Dr. Vikram Saksena. In Russia, network challenges are compounded by
the need to cover a huge geographic area with mobile service. Tellabs and local partners are helping customers transform networks with innovative mobile backhaul solutions (pages 12-13). How can service providers vault from the middle of the
pack into a leadership position? In Malaysia, DWDM makes the difference for TIME dotCom (cover story, pages 8-11).
