IQstream Adaptive Content Optimization for the RAN Helps Mobile Operators Improve Service Delivery Economics and Enhance Subscribers’ Multimedia Experience

Sycamore Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCMR – News), a leader in intelligent bandwidth management solutions for fixed line and mobile network operators worldwide, today announced the introduction of IQstreamTM, a unique answer to the service challenges posed by rapid mobile data growth in the Radio Access Network (RAN). The Sycamore IQstream mobile broadband optimization solution helps operators ensure a superior multimedia experience for their subscribers by dramatically reducing congestion in the access network caused by rising demand for Internet video and other rich media applications. At the same time, IQstream significantly lowers the cost of delivering mobile broadband services by freeing up capacity in the cost-sensitive RAN.

Powered by Adaptive Content OptimizationTM technology and advanced learning algorithms, the IQstream solution dynamically adapts to mobile data traffic patterns, including peak usage periods and flash events. This allows operators to cost-efficiently meet growing subscriber expectations for a high quality multimedia experience while alleviating capacity constraints in a high-cost part of their network. As a result, operators can significantly reduce operational expenses, defer costly network upgrades, and dramatically improve the economics of their mobile data offerings.

“IQstream is an innovative new initiative from Sycamore that builds upon the company’s heritage of solving complex networking problems with adaptive, real-time service intelligence,” said Daniel E. Smith, president and chief executive officer, Sycamore Networks. “IQstream leverages Sycamore’s proven networking expertise and long-standing relationships with mobile operators worldwide to address the critical challenge of RAN congestion and the attendant implications for subscriber quality of experience, service profitability, and backhaul capacity planning.”

Key benefits of the IQstream solution include:

* Superior delivery of rich media content, particularly high quality video in the RAN
* Improved quality of experience for subscribers during peak usage periods
* Optimal utilization of existing network infrastructure
* Enhanced ability to serve large numbers of subscribers simultaneously accessing popular broadband content
* Simplified mobile broadband network planning and backhaul dimensioning

“The explosion of rich media content such as Internet video is creating massive congestion issues in mobile networks. This trend will only accelerate as end-user devices become increasingly more powerful and more and more subscribers consume new bandwidth-intensive applications,” said Kevin Oye, vice president of systems and technology, Sycamore Networks. “IQstream takes a unique approach to optimizing video and other rich media content traversing the RAN, employing sophisticated adaptive algorithms that self-tune in response to dynamic traffic behavior to ensure consistent service performance as mobile broadband usage patterns, applications, and devices evolve.”

IQstream can be easily and selectively deployed at network congestion hot spots for rapid improvements in service performance and immediate operational savings. Unlike core-based optimization schemes, Sycamore’s patent-pending optimization technology directly improves utilization of existing HSPA RAN infrastructure while maintaining full transparency to 3GPP radio network protocols and operations including critical core-based functions such as billing, policy control, and lawful intercept.

IQstream will be generally available in Q4 2010.

Device’s smart antenna technology delivers 30-times data throughput and 5-times range of 3G dongle

A device to deliver broadband to rural areas that are far from the phone exchange was launched today by UK based Deltenna.

The small, sleek gadget, called the WiBE (Wireless Broadband Enabler), uses the 3G mobile network to create a 2Mbps web hotspot, even when a 3G mobile phone wouldn’t register a signal.

An internal WiFi router enables users to connect laptops, smartphones or VoIP phones.

In areas of weak signal it delivers a data throughput 30-times greater than a 3G USB modem dongle. And the connection range is up to five-times that of the 3G dongle.

This improvement is achieved through Deltenna’s patented antennas and alignment algorithms, which beam steer the device’s receivers.

The device automatically tests each mobile cell in range to determine the fastest available download speed and configures its aerials to achieve the best possible connection and block any interference.

The device’s maximum throughput is 7.2Mbps and extensive rural usage tests in the UK demonstrated an average download speed of 2.8 Mbps.

The WiBE will be sold to OEMs and operators. It was created to bring broadband to emerging economies and rural areas, where there is access to a mobile network but not high speed DSL lines.

Deltenna will also release a 4G mobile network device in 2011. This will use LTE technology to reach typical rural broadband speeds of 50Mbps and above.

Recent research by the global broadband benchmarking organisation, Epitiro, highlighted mobile broadband users accessing the network on a cell phone or 3G dongle typically receive a download speed lower that 1Mbps.

Iain Wood of Epitiro said: “Rural broadband consumers in Europe and the US suffer low speeds over copper wiring as a result of being a distance from the exchange. This challenge of achieving higher speeds lies with the implementation of new technologies to ‘the last mile’ be they wired or wireless.”

Andrew Fox, CEO of Deltenna said: “There are still millions of people throughout Europe and the US for whom fast broadband is a myth. The WiBE seeks out distant, base stations and, like you would with a set top TV aerial, adjusts and fine tunes its antennas to get the perfect signal.”

COBRA contains imec’s energy-efficient high-performance ADRES reconfigurable baseband processor featuring multi-threading and wide SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) capabilities. The associated tools enable C-based compilation, as well as assisted parallelization over multiple cores and/or threads. This speeds up the design leading to shorter time-to-market and more energy-efficient radios. Imec’s low-power flexible forward-error correction (FlexFEC) processor template achieving high-speed turbo & LDPC is also included. An LDPC-specific instance for multi-standard broadcasting has also been derived to further optimize power and area. Moreover, COBRA features a novel ASIP (application-specific integrated processor)-based digital front-end enabling flexible filtering synchronization and spectrum sensing. This component also enables hierarchical platform activation, resulting in idle power in the range of 2mW in 65 low-power CMOS technology for the baseband platform.

In its green radio program, imec partners up with industrial players to design the next generation cognitive radios, targeting increased integration and improved power efficiency radios. The COBRA platform, which is being designed together with the industrial partners of imec’s green radio program, is now available for licensing. The reconfigurable radio architecture and related cores can be evaluated and tested at imec.

Liesbet Van Der Perre, Program Director Wireless Communication: “With every new generation of mobile communication devices we expect more flexibility and more intelligence. Devices that can negotiate and switch between frequencies to optimally use the available spectrum.
