Subsea Cable 2008
Subsea cables are currently being built and upgraded at a furious rate. What will this extra capacity do to the market and does the need for diversity justify all that’s going on?
Outsourcing and Managed Services 2007
Outsourcing has as many definitions as there are outsourcers, but it as some powerful business drivers in the telecoms business.

Carrier Grade Ethernet 2006
The story of Ethernet goes back over 30 years to 1973, when Bob Metcalfe at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center described how Ethernet would work. Metcalfe and his colleague Dave Boggs went on to build the first Ethernet network. They connected hundreds of PCs and what was probably the world’s first laser printer, via cables that ran to a thick coax they dubbed “the ether” – a term borrowed from 19th century physicists for what the Victorians believed to be an omnipresent, passive medium for the propagation of electromagnetic waves.
IMS 2006
The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) provides a blueprint for telecoms operators to build internet-type applications (chat, instant messaging and presence), converge fixed and wireless networks and support seamless user roaming irrespective of access technology.
