MCNC, the private, not-for-profit operator of the North Carolina Research and Education Network (NCREN), today that it has released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for identifying an appropriate vendor(s) to supply DWDM-based Optical and/or Carrier Ethernet Networking equipment to light fiber routes (some existing and some currently under construction) that have been funded through the [...]
When your job, among other things, consists of the discovery and protection of the intellectual property in things like smart grid security, I thought an interview with Theodore Wood from Sterne Kessler Goldstein & Fox (based in Washington DC) would be be insightful. I wasn’t disappointed. From international cyber security espionage to plain old American [...]
As more people buy iPhones and iPads, and become disenchanted with the decreasing quality of mobile networks (especially with speed) and the increasing cost of data plans (no more “unlimited” plans), more people are using WiFi networks in cafes, hotels, restaurants and other establishments.

Watching last week’s PGA tournament I was struck by a new Sprint TV ad that powerfully, forcefully and very clearly played up Sprint’s ability to offer true unlimited data plans, as compared to the tiered data plans of its top competitors, Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile.

The white paper looks at business cases and usage models, as well as technology evolution and pitfalls.

Christchurch is planning to deploy Wi-Fi service throughout the city with Enable Networks, a broadband provider. According to ZDNet, the Wi-Fi network will use “New Zealand’s high-speed fibre broadband initiative as a backbone, and will be deployed around the centre of Christchurch at a projected cost of NZ$350,000 to the council. The council plans to have [...]
We all had a feeling this was true but Craig Mathias states it unequivocally in his article, WiMAX is Dead: “Clearwire’s recent (and completely unsurprising) announcement that the firm is going with LTE is the final nail in mobile WiMAX’s coffin. I have not been as vocal over the years on this topic as I should I have [...]
