      T-Mobile USA is busy this month installing more high-speed packet access-plus (HSPA+) equipment from its partners with Ericsson AB (Nasdaq: ERIC) and Nokia Siemens Networks , while also trialing Long Term Evolution (LTE) in preparation for its 2013 launch.

      T-Mobile SVP of Technology Dave Mayo provided some guidance on its network modernization efforts in a blog post last week, noting that it will install new equipment at its first 400 modernized GSM/HSPA+ sites this month. It plans to grow this to over 2,500 sites by the end of July.

      According to Anne Lutz Fernandez, author of the book “Carjacked: The Culture of the Automobile and Its Effect on Our Lives”, Americans spend an average of 18.5 hours a week in their cars.  An increasingly more mobile society with a seemingly insatiable appetite for personal vehicles means that not only are Americans spending more time in their vehicles, for business, commuting or pleasure but it also means that there is a growing number of vehicles vying for a spot on America's ever more congested roadways.

      With so many Americans in cars, for longer periods of time, and with 88 percent of all US adults owning a mobile phone, an opportunity for the 4G mobile broadband ecosystem is clearly on the horizon.  Globally, GSMA estimates that the opportunity associated with connected car applications will grow to $600 million (USD) by 2020.  And recent announcements by Verizon reflect how the opportunity can bridge across operator enterprise and wireless business units.

    14. Security Vendors Set Sights on Mobile Operators

      Explore (Jun 4 2012) 4G , Mobile Broadband , Mobile Enterprise , Mobile Internet

      New alliances, feature consolidation and M&A activity are becoming increasingly commonplace in the go-to-market strategies of network security vendors targeting the telco sector, and particularly the mobile operator segment.

      I'm not talking so much about conventional OEM hardware partnerships between relatively small security vendors and the relatively large telecom vendors that have established channels into the telcos. These have been in place for a long time – think Ericsson reselling Juniper's SRX; Alcatel-Lucent reselling Fortinet's Fortigate; or NSN reselling Check Point's 61,000.

      These traditional channel partnerships will continue to be central to how security vendors sell into the operators, but the market is changing. There is new demand from fixed and mobile operators for increasingly sophisticated security solutions that can be a match for the increasingly daunting efforts of the ever more sophisticated, well organized and increasingly criminally minded attackers out there.

      Many operators are unhappy with the increasing assortment of single-purpose security products that is accumulating in the network. They are demanding solutions that work better together, provide a unified view of what's going on in the network and enable them to better tune their security strategies and processes toward the greatest risks in a fast moving threat landscape. Operators and security vendors are also increasingly aware that among the major telecom vendors, some are definitely better than others when it comes to delivering increasingly sophisticated IP-based security solutions.
