14. Social networking applications, social health applications, Microsoft Windows 8
OS, Android OS, iOS, etc. are not only end-user initiated, they also poll the
network even when the device is idle and asleep – impacts how you dimension and
plan a network
Research project called ARPANET and later INTERNET was founded/funded by
ARPA in 1969
It was Apple which lead the creation of an always-on/always-connected, intuition-
based, application-rich mobile computing experience for the masses
A massive onslaught of tablets, smart phones and ultrabooks following the
success of Apple are designed with the end-user experience in mind (which
involves tremendous data manipulation, processing, and communication
The Network Infrastructure will achieve close to 1 trillion dolar revenues in 2012 in
order to support the demands imposed by 1 billion devices and 48 billion apps in
2012
Global SS growth will be mainly in CEMA and Asia Pacific now till 2015 with close
to 2B connected devices by 2016
4G LTE was designed just like WiMAX with spectral efficiency in mind for the
support of high-speed, bandwidth intensive, low-latency multi-media applications
4G WiMAX proved itself as an off-the-shelf broadband wireless technology which
could support the quality of service required by the end-user
The FCC launched the National Broadband Plan in 2010 to mandate the planning,
development and delivery of broadband wireless to the remaining 100 million
Americans
The spectrum crisis is an opportunity for the industry to enable a variety of
existing technology options to accommodate the insatiable data-demand well
into the future
