As the participation in the Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) domain continues to rapidly grow, it was getting difficult to keep straight which companies played in what aspect of the overall NFV landscape and architecture. Out of that murkiness was born this NFV landscape view as an attempt to visually represent participation in the movement.
More people with smartphones…
More Internet access points with the growth of Wi-Fi and hot spots…
More developer platforms and the rise of real-time communications APIs…
The freelance economy is the future of work, even in the traditional workplace. Getting things done, especially in the hyper-connected information age, is happening more and more remotely, and is increasingly being measured in “job units.” How productive the coming generations of workers are will likely be measured less by “punching the clock” and more by “finishing the job” – one job after the other.
With billions of dollars being directed toward the virtualization of network functions through more sophisticated and scalable software solutions, making the processing and management of sessions increasingly efficient, and real-time communications more profitable – where is the real upside for service providers and enterprises going forward?
I came to GENBAND in February of this year. I joined the company because of my past experience with David Walsh and his ability to lead. You see, I am all about innovation and execution. For ideas to turn into innovation it requires a winning culture.
Culture can be defined as the cumulative IQ of the team, past experiences, attitudes and willingness of the group of people of an organization to win. Culture is the critical environment in which ideas will thrive or die. Winning cultures require teamwork.
Everything in the communications industry is changing – again. Today, GENBAND is formally launching Kandy and after opening this powerful “Platform-as-a-Service” to a handful of our partners as part of an “early access” program, tonight we will be sharing their applications, which will prove to the world that communicating in real-time will never be the same. Those partners include massive companies like SAP, IBM and Tech Mahindra, as well as smaller start-up companies.
Is the Software Evolution of Telecom Now A Revolution?
The Next, Next Generation of Software Driven Networking & Real-Time Communications
Is mobile application development become easier and more creative than ever? We think so! Will this drive even more useful, entertaining and sophisticated experiences, fanning the flames on the already red hot mobile ecosystem? Most definitely. Is the very definition of the mobile ecosystem changing, even as the real-time communications industry moves up into the applications layer with more “software everywhere?” Roger that!
I’m blogging this week from the beautiful landscape in Utah where GENBAND is sponsoring the Air Force Association golf tournament at Hill Air Force Base. Utah is truly heaven on earth. With such rich scenery, it’s truly captured in its slogan: Life Elevated!
The mobile market place is undergoing major shifts and mobile carriers are facing major challenges in staying competitive in delivering services, and scaling their networks efficiently. Voice and SMS are commoditized, and the revenues are shifting from voice to data while the combined revenue of voice and data is not able to keep pace with the rising cost of delivering mobile data. VoLTE and RCS investments, while visionary, are not making a positive impact on top and bottom lines fast enough.
