LTE subscribers use 146% more data than 3G?

This was just one of the interesting facts brought out by our recent webinar on virtualised and software defined mobile backhaul networks [which is now available on demand] and was a great excuse for a nice picture of cascading water (Open the floodgates).

But more importantly, this event is illustrative of the vast amount of interest in software defined networking (SDN) at the moment. So here's just a few of the headlines from the last month or so:

Adtran unveils converged access architecture solution

RAD joins Cyan Blue Orbit SDN ecosystem

Transmode announces PCE-based SDN strategy

Virtualized and software-defined backhaul networks—enabling service-rich mobile broadband

A1, Coriant complete field trial using Space Division Multiplexing

Discover the 3 Steps to Transforming your Mobile Business

SDN narrows $9.2 bn mobile backhaul gap

SDN could save operators $4 billion in capex by 2017

Procera launches Virtualized PacketLogic solutions

If SDN matters to you, then perhaps you should get involved in our SDN Special Report, due out next month. Contact the sales team or download the prospectus.

Breakfast has been served #LTE

Today's LTE Breakfast with Total Telecom was a great success, with seats at a premium at the Institute of Physics on Portland Place.

We were delighted to have fantastic speakers and panellists including Kevin Baughan of Virgin Media Francesco Liberatore (JonesDay)and Dan Warren of the GSMA, and would pass on our thanks to iBasis and UK Broadband for sponsoring the event, and sending along their CTO's for the panel: Ajay Joseph (iBasis) and Philip Marnick (UK Broadband)

We promoted the hashtag #TTLTE and had some active Twittering going on - thanks especially to AT&T's Rebecca Atherley, for a steady stream of Tweets. It was also great to see a number of participants in the room who had flown in especially for the event, including three from North America. It just goes to show that a niche event can really work for many people.

The next event will Emerging Markets on the 10 April. Operators can register for free. Find out more about participating or sponsoring on our website www.totaltele.com/breakfast or for more in the LTE space, come along to Total Telecom Wireless World on the 13 & 14 June 2012.
