The Merger Between Alcatel Lucent And Nokia

“Networks are all around us. They are in our walls, in the air. At schools, hotels, hospitals, even coffee shops. Always there, always on…This power exists today. In our routers. In our switches... . (Cisco, n.d.)

“Internet based Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), power line communications, satellite communications and wireless communications (wireless sensor networks, WiMAX and wireless mesh networks) are discussed.”

Currently billions of mobile devices are connected to wireless networks and by the year 2020 when the massive arrival of 5G to the market is expected to be four times higher. This paper aims to analyze the advances in communication for these networks that will be present in all types of portable devices and personal use in addition to computers. It evaluates the progress for aspects of communication and ability to transfer data and information through new wireless networks. The benefits and improvements in communication and performance in different devices for 5G networks are evaluated; this 5G of wireless networks promises an excellent performance in the exchange of personal, business and institutional data, also this paper

Transport Layer: in control of the process-to-process delivery of the entire message by moving data across network connections.

Some 310 billion mobile app downloads are expected by Q1/2016, and 70% of smartphones will be 802.11acready by Q2/2015. And let’s not forget about tablets – they consume 3.4-times more traffic compared to a smartphone on average. Networks must contend with this higher demand. Enterprises have also grown more reliant on higher bandwidth, latency-sensitive applications. For example, virtual desktop infrastructures (VDI) are characterized by bursty, delay-sensitive traffic because processing occurs in the data center instead of locally. HD video-capable mobile devices are proliferating. And users increasingly rely on them for fast and efficient mobile telepresence. Collaborative programs like Microsoft Lync, Apple FaceTime, WebEx and Citrix GoToMeeting create two-way video traffic across the network. The use of podcasting and streaming has also skyrocketed. It is therefore only natural to see a huge increase in the consumption of multimedia on mobile devices in the residence hall. Due to the pervasiveness of wireless in some environments, the smart classroom has now become virtualized, which allows its capabilities to be delivered anywhere there is capacity to receive it. The 80/20 rule for download and upload direction no longer exists. New app behavior has completely transformed traffic patterns. For example, smartphones synchronize all photos to cloud-based storage when a user walks into a building and connects to a Wi-Fi

In this paper, we will be looking at the Microsoft and Nokia negotiation that had taken place in in 2013. The United States company Microsoft, announced that it had finally reached a deal with Finnish company Nokia, where Microsoft would acquire Nokia’s handset business and their patent license for $7.2 billion dollars (Alden, 2013). This move by Microsoft was done in order to try and increase their market share in the handheld device market, which Microsoft had missed out on during the initial phases of the market 's development. This would also benefit Nokia as they did struggle for many years in the smartphone industry and Microsoft would be able to help them during this problem if they were to reach a consensus in their negotiations.

The main strength Nokia has is the brand itself. Nokia has been one of the most respected and well-known mobile brand in the market. Their products are recognized for its fine designs, accountability, and sturdiness. The brand is associated with the best products in the industry and has developed brand awareness. Although Nokia is having a hard time matching up to the mobile market, they still have a loyal customer base to regain market trust. Nokia’s weakness is its difficulty accommodating to the constant changes of consumer trends. The company is lagging behind with innovative products; indicating Nokia’s incompetent with the market

In networking technology, wireless is the term used to describe any network where there is no physical wired connection between sender and receiver, but rather the network by radio waves or micro waves to maintain communications. The evolution of technology specially in mobile technology is the most and fast developing, that era starts from 1G in 1980s and it is replaced by a continuous emerging of next generations. To compensate the drawbacks of each previous generation next generation with lot of new applications is introduced. Now it is fourth generation that is 4G, beyond 4G now researches are going on about 5G and it will come into existence by 2020s. In the near future, i.e., beyond 4G, some of the prime objectives or demands that need to be addressed are increased capacity, improved data rate, decreased latency, and better quality of service. To meet these demands, drastic improvements need to be made in cellular network architecture. This paper presents the results of a detailed survey on the fifth generation (5G) cellular network architecture and some of the key emerging technologies that are helpful in improving the architecture and meeting the demands of users. A detailed survey is included regarding all wireless generations especially concentrated on 5G by research groups and

The key computing trends driving the need for a new network paradigm include the following:

Introduction“There have been moments in history where the invention of new technology has completely rewired the way our society lives and works. The printing press, radio, television, mobile phones and the Internet are among these. In the coming decades, we will see the greatest revolution yet, as billions of people connect to the Internet for the first time” (Zuckerberg, 2014).

years, the telecommunications industry and academia have been investing significant amounts of research effort in fourth generation

• • • • • No scheduled processing time for each packet Resources are allocated on demand Each packet is treated independently of all others Done at the network layer Referred as connectionless network (packet switch does not keep information about the connection state) • No setup and teardown phases • Each switch has routing table (for forwarding packet to correct destination)

Proposed attractive features such as very high data rate, global roaming, good quality of service,

Data transfer is basically what bandwidth is all about. It’s transferring the data, so to make it easier to remember and to make it obvious what it’s all about.

Network superhighways carrying internet traffic and the information of the future ,on which all kinds of interactive services such as electronic mail, voice telephony and videoconferencing, electronic commerce are already flourishing, and soon, perhaps, television on demand.
