The IP transformation is upon us.

 

As the lines between work, home life and entertainment blur, consumers are increasingly subscribing to services they can personalize on whatever communications device they choose. Wireless broadband data services are an integral part of this equation, enabling end users to place calls and access the Internet with their wireless devices, connect with their office networks over secure links, download music and videos, and take advantage of a host of location-based services that give them access to home, work and entertainment from anywhere and at any time.

 

A recently published article discusses this emerging trend. As wireless broadband comes down in price and more subscribers sign up for these services, there is justifiable concern that the growing data traffic will have adverse affects on a service provider's network.

 

Enter Alcatel-Lucent.

 

The company offers a solution, in the form of its Alcatel-Lucent 9900 Wireless Network Guardian (WNG), which is designed to enable service providers to monitor their networks and identify wireless network resource usage resulting in better network performance management.
