Operators can make profit from mobile broadband - says Nokia Siemens

According to a new mobile research report, Mobile network operators need to spend almost $840 billion globally over the next five years in order to address serious bottlenecks in their backhaul networks. The report claims that the massive investment needs to be made if operators are to meet the increasing demands of mobile broadband users.

Nokia Siemens Networks, in conjunction with US mobile operator T-Mobile, has submitted a proposal for a new HSPA standard that would deliver downstream bandwidths up to 650Mbps. Although the LTE and LTE-Advanced standards provide a clear roadmap to 1Gbps, Nokia Siemens says it is important to maintain a migration path to higher bandwidths for HSPA.

Optus has selected Nokia Siemens Networks to upgrade the core of its mobile network to the Evolved Packet Core.

Nokia Siemens Networks is to acquire the majority of Motorola's wireless network infrastructure assets for $US1.2 billion in cash, a move expected to significantly strengthen Nokia Siemens presence globally but particularly in the United States and Japan.

Nokia Siemens Networks claims to have achieved 825Mbps over 400 metres and 750Mbps over 500 metres using 'Phantom DSL' technology.

Vodafone Hutchison Australia has chosen to outsource management of its network operations to Nokia Siemens Networks under a seven-year agreement. Nokia Siemens will also supply equipment to upgrade VHA‘s core network, but VHA has made no announcement on a supplier for its radio network.

According to OSS/BSS supplier Amdocs, mobile operators in Asia Pacific have a chance to lead the mobile value added services market with their web portals and related m-commerce services, in contrast to Europe and the USA where the battle has already been lost to over-the-top players like Google, Amazon and Apple.

The ability of mobile operators to offload broadband traffic onto Wi-Fi networks has been greatly enhanced with the Wi-Fi Alliance now testing and certifying mobile devices and access points for conformance to its Wi-Fi Certified Passpoint program, and a number of operators committing to trials of the technology.

hi,

i'm thinking if one can use mobile phones to connect to the internet on a computer(laptop, desktop) then why not use any broadband connection to connect a mobile phone to the internet.

1) is it possible ? 2) if yes, then what do i need to do ? 3) if no, why not ?
