LTE Components Drive Multimode Mobile BroadbandEneaSoftware
Enea Freescale webinar 12 Sep 2012. The availability and performance of LTE components are becoming a critical issue as carriers move ahead with LTE deployments. Highly integrated devices using the latest silicon technology are transforming this market. At this critical time we take a look at the latest solutions involving LTE for cellular base stations as well as the emerging HetNet (heterogeneous networks) technology to provide the fully integrated coverage and bandwidth that are needed in next-generation mobile infrastructure equipment.
India is poised for a second mobile revolution driven by increased adoption of mobile data services. The country's first phase of mobile growth was characterized by rapid expansion of voice services. Now, with only 10% internet penetration but 87 million mobile internet users, mobile networks are expected to drive increased internet adoption over the next few years, similar to how wireless drove teledensity growth previously. Early indicators since 2010 like strategic spectrum bidding, new entrants, and app revenue sharing point to the building blocks being in place. The transition is expected to be complete by 2015, enabled by new services, optimized networks, analytics tools, and partnerships across the value chain.

This document discusses improving network capacity cost-effectively in Africa. It notes that mobile data usage in the Middle East and Africa is forecast to increase over 5-fold by 2017. It also shows that 3G device shipments are growing rapidly in emerging markets. The document explores balancing traffic, cost, and availability when improving networks. It argues that new networks need lower latency, like LTE provides, to meet demands of real-time applications like voice and video. O3b satellite technology is presented as a solution, with its much lower latency improving voice quality over traditional GEO satellites. O3b can provide scalable backhaul capacity for rural access networks, individual cell sites, and international connectivity across Africa.
Digital Services in Africa: New revenue opportunities.BSP Media Group
This document discusses opportunities for digital services revenue growth in Africa from 2012-2018. Mobile data usage and revenues are growing faster than voice, with annual data revenues forecast to rise from $8.5 billion to $23.2 billion.

Market Research Report : Mobile Value Added Services in China 2009Netscribes, Inc.
The Chinese mobile market has the world's largest subscriber base of over 641 million in 2008, growing at 18% annually. The MVAS market in China is valued at USD 18.2 billion in 2008 and is expected to reach USD 34.5 billion by 2011. SMS and Caller Ring Back Tones are the most popular MVAS services in China. The entry procedure for offering MVAS in China is considered lengthy and difficult, requiring finding a partner, establishing a foreign-invested telecom enterprise with a maximum 50% foreign share, obtaining various licenses, and clearing tests with mobile operators. The MVAS industry is highly regulated by the Chinese government.

03 mobile number portability – opportunities & challengeprj_publication
Mobile number portability (MNP) allows subscribers in India to change mobile service providers while retaining their existing phone number. MNP was launched in India on January 20, 2011, allowing subscribers to port their number between providers for a fee of up to 19 rupees. An analysis of MNP data from February 14, 2011 showed that operators like Vodafone, Aircel and Idea had more subscribers porting their numbers to their networks, whereas operators like BSNL, Reliance and Tata lost the most subscribers who ported to other providers. MNP has given Indian mobile users more choice in service providers while keeping their phone numbers.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
