08-10-2011, 08:27 AM Technologies such as WiMax, LTE, 4G and HSPA are driving much higher capacity from the base station back to the fiber core. This is putting extreme pressure on provider's infrastructure and backhaul networks. A smart phone is not very smart if the infrastructure can't support it's applications. If a carrier is not meeting the demands of their backhaul they risk customer churn and declining revenues.
What are your ideas to deal with this??

When cellular first came to my part of the country I owned a two way radio shop and had a simulcasted paging network and a network of UHF repeaters. I thought no way a three watt phone is going to compete with my 30 watt UHF mobile radios. It didn't take long before I saw that I better jump on the cellular bandwagon. It was here to stay.
08-27-2011, 03:30 PM Yeap, I remember those too. I was working for a Telco Coin Op. We had to have phones in our truck, with a BIG Book on which way to set the dip switches, depending on the area we were in.... my 30 watt UHF mobile radios. It didn't take long before I saw that I better jump on the cellular bandwagon. It was here to stay.
04-28-2012, 03:06 PM As a consumer, I am constantly bombarded by ads for cellular phones and plans. I have tried a boatload under the promise of better connections, less dropped calls and quality of service. What strikes me is that for all the carriers, the quality boils down to the phone itself. You can have excellent carriers, superior delivery but if the phone is cheap, crap and poorly made, it won't matter. The public right now is flooded with inferior cellphones. Some blow up, some the battery overheats, some just stop working altogether. The answer isn't simple. There has to be a balance between quality of service and quality of phone handling that service. Screw up one, you don't have the other.
05-02-2012, 06:02 PM It may be consumers are kind of ignorant about quality when purchasing cellphones and don't really care about how it's made or where it comes from especially if it's cheap and works. Why toy with a good thing? I think the only ones that truly care are those that work in the business and know where their cellphones are made versus the cost they paid for it. You do get what you paid for in this regard. It's still buyer beware.
05-11-2012, 01:53 PM Funny you should mention this, actually, I was just thinking the other day as I shelled out my last dollar for awhile that I didn't think sooner to invest in several stocks, namely: Apple, Google and cellular phones. I could kick myself as I could have made a nice tidy profit had I had the clear 20/20 foresight I almost always have in hindsight.And ya' know, it just wasn't that long ago.
