RSS network capacityFemtocells to save mobile operators over $5bn?
News The $5.3bn savings are based on the assumption that without femtocells operators would have to spend some $9bn on beefing up network coverage to take extra traffic - a figure which presupposes a third of this traffic will be handled by utilising... [13 Aug 2008]
Interference on the radar for FCC "white space"
News Several technology companies, including Google, Microsoft and Motorola, have been lobbying the FCC for more than a year to open up these channels, which would provide between 300MHz to 400MHz of unlicensed spectral capacity throughout the country... [12 Aug 2008]
Forming Optimal Topologies for Bluetooth-Based Wireless Personal Area Networks
White Paper The way network nodes are grouped to share the same channel, and which nodes are selected to bridge traffic from a channel to another, has a significant impact on the capacity and throughput of the system, as well as the nodes' battery lifetime. [11 Aug 2008]
Reducing the Hidden Costs Associated with Upgrades of Data Center Power Capacity
White Paper Scaling the power capacity of legacy UPS systems leads to hidden costs that may outweigh the very benefit that scalability intends to provide. A scalable UPS system provides a significant benefit to the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of data center... [11 Aug 2008]
Bracknell Forest reaps virtual rewards
Case Study Before the work the council found its servers were running at around 10 per cent capacity, meaning there was significant scope to make more efficient use of the hardware. Speaking to silicon.com, Richard Dawson, IT services manager at the council... [08 Aug 2008]
Switch from oil to silicon
Comment One area that has not increased but has fallen dramatically is the direct cost of IT and comms, at least in terms of processing power, storage capacity or transmission speeds. Many services and products have been digitised for delivery over the... [31 Jul 2008]
Routing Protocols for Self-Organizing Hierarchical Ad-Hoc Wireless Networks

On the Capacity of Optical Networks: A Framework for Comparing Different Transport Architectures
White Paper This comparison is based on a notion of network capacity as the set of exogenous traffic rates that can be stably supported by a network under its operational constraints. It characterizes the capacity regions of the transport architectures, and... [18 Jul 2008]
A Review of Traffic Grooming in WDM Optical Networks: Architectures and Challenges
White Paper By efficiently grooming low-speed traffic streams onto high-capacity optical channels, it is possible to minimize this electronic processing and eventually increase the network performance. The transmission capacity of a link in today's optical... [18 Jul 2008]
Improving Restoration Success in Mesh Optical Networks
White Paper However, even when the network contains sufficient capacity, the restoration paths could be blocked for two different reasons: with distributed restoration path selection schemes, multiple restoration paths may compete for the capacity of the same... [18 Jul 2008]
New MAN Drives Costs Down and Services Up
