Quortus Puts LTE Core on Raspberry Pi HW

Bijan Nowroozi — Thu, 23 May 2013 15:25:05 +0000

Hate to admit it, but this was an idea I was thinking about earlier. I’m geeky that way. Good for the Quortus guys! At the end they mention a hosted core and I tried this in the past. Too early to market I guess. Press Releases Running a Mobile Network on a Raspberry [...]

Dish + Sprint is a Winner to Me

Bijan Nowroozi — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:29:24 +0000

Been a while… I’ve been collaborating and innovating but I thought I would register my approval of a Dish + Sprint + Clear tie up. Firstly let me say I don’t think Softbank would be willing to let the opportunity slip away so low ($25.5B US) but I like the idea of an all [...]

Bizarre Update: LTE Network Throughput Is Sometimes Tricky

Bijan Nowroozi — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 22:49:54 +0000

Bizarre Update to the cable cut…. BBC has a follow up… I put the update at the very bottom… I was working on something regarding using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for LTE network design, and got bit bleary eyed, so I decided to take a break and read a few stories on the ‘net. [...]

LTE Network Throughput Is Sometimes Tricky

Bijan Nowroozi — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 22:11:02 +0000

I was working on something regarding using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for LTE network design, and got bit bleary eyed, so I decided to take a break and read a few stories on the ‘net. The first one was about a massively scaled internet attack between two commercial parties. Huh? Seriously… From the BBC: [...]

Working on many things at the same time, the tunnel vision sets in, so every once in a while, I try to take a I step back and reflect on where we are in LTE land. What I see is a early market that has yet to find it’s purpose in life. Yeah [...]

Bijan Nowroozi — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 23:40:25 +0000

Couldn’t help but notice that Verizon completed the transaction of selling off it’s Lower 700MHz spectrum today. Key point is, as long as it doesn’t go to AT&T consumers are better off. OK that had to be said. The [...]

Bijan Nowroozi — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:50:50 +0000

Was looking through Cisco’s Visual Networking Index (see below) and was thinking about a few pieces of it and the impacts to LTE and SON networking. I appreciate the time Cisco takes to put this together, I would not manage to find the time to give away a good report. Yes, it [...]

FreedomPop, an Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) founded in 2011 and based in Los Angeles, is offering 500MB of free wireless data over LTE for their customers. They are marketing a DSL type of replacement service with a LTE gateway and LTE mobile [...]

So here we are again, another insanely busy week of reviews, document development, product development etc… I did manage to sneak some time to check out these presentations on small cells. If you are new to small cells or not fully engaged 100% of the time with this area, I think these 2 presentations [...]

Updated: Uh-oh, Not Good for the Little Guy: AT&T buys 700MHz B from Verizon Wireless

Bijan Nowroozi — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 22:33:25 +0000

Updated: Added mention of the recent Alltel deal. The rich are hiding the opportunities from the not so rich. Oh I mean spectrum ownership. So Verizon Wireless agreed to sell their 700MHz B spectrum to ATT. If you are just looking for parrot/me too/copy+paste blogging, you should leave now. This is bad for [...]
