Fresh off the press ..... http://snrlabs.com/news/ en Copyright 2010 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 05:59:35 -0600 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=3.2ysb5-20051201 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss App Planet at MWC The App planet is a new comer to MWC 2010 but became the buzz of the show, highlighting the new focus on software and applications that we have been discussing in our previous posts from MWC 2010.

It brought a refreshing change to the “image” of mobile technology, which for several years now has been about communication networks and multimedia technology. App Planet brings in new creativity and the core idea of connecting people. In the App planet, “John”-s mobile device is much more than a phone!

SNRLabs' focus on QoE based connectivity and mobility in multi-radio devices has this additional advantage from the point of view of operators, which is, "smartly" moving traffic from cellular to WiFi (or femto cells). At MWC 2010, it was interesting to see the same problem addressed via infrastructure based and operators driven solution by technology power house Qualcomm and FMC experts Kineto Wireless.

The last time I remember a similar buzz was 1996, as the internet was gaining ground. “The network is the computer” slogan saw the rise of SUN and the same year Oracle introduced the concept of the Network computer - a “under $500 computer” that end users could eventually use for communication, entertainment and surf the web. The question was “what is the killer App” for the internet. Fourteen years later the “Network computers” of today are the Mobile internet devices - from Apple’s iPhone, iPad to everybody and his dog’s Android device. Mobile devices are ready to get, and are getting ‘embedded’.

Today, I attended a panel discussion organized by FierceWireless that invited top telecom industry executives to discuss the latest developments in the embedded wireless ecosystem. In spite of the pre-defined topic on embedded wireless, the discussion and the follow-up Q&A of course veered in other directions regarding the challenges being faced today by service providers and the wireless industry at large. Which got me and our team here thinking – is this truly the beginning of a new era in wireless services deployment?

MWC has always been about the “traditional” wireless industry heavy weights – you saw them every where from the big posters in Barcelona airport to the bright pavilions of Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Ericsson, TI, Qualcomm (to name just a few) in Hall 8, to the event announcements and meeting room directions in the FIRA Palace hotel and Hotel Catalunya Plaza, and the banners seen from the Plaza Espanaya. But in 2010, it is the shadow of the two presences that are not so visually overt but nonetheless they are in every conversation and thought – Apple and Google. Google CEO Eric Schmidt is a keynote speaker on Tuesday and Android devices announcements are everywhere at MWC 2010, though Apple of course is not a participant. Which made me (like many many other industry followers and experts) wonder – why? What is the secret? How did this phenomenon happen?

My heartfelt thank you to the two of you for organizing and hosting such an interesting meeting last Friday -- the ETF Partner Ladies Appreciation Breakfast at the Communities Foundation of North Texas. My thanks also to your respective organizations - the NTXRCIC and Entrepreneurs for North Texas and the wonderful work you are doing to nurture the entrepreneurship spirit in our local communities and helping/mentoring start-ups like SNRLabs!

Worse than Maria’s seven rambunctious children in The Sound of Music, today’s cell phones are full of radios that don’t work well together. Only one child can speak at a time but they all want to talk and they don’t know how to decide when which one of them should speak. So what do you get?
