Mobile networks are set to undergo a major transformation with the arrival of network functions virtualisation, software defined networking and the move towards the telco cloud. We look at how this will make networks more efficient, reduce cost and provide services that will help operators fight back against the OTT providers.

In this issue, we also interview South Korea’s SK Telecom, one of the most advanced mobile operators in the world, and take a look at how small cells fit into evolving network architectures. We also talk to two major Wi-Fi players, Xirrus and Meru, to get their take on how 802.11ac provides an Ethernet quality service.

We also take a look at how wireless technology and big data analytics is helping the mining industry. Finally, we examine unified comms and the future of push-to-talk in professional mobile radio; highlight a revolutionary wireless LAN radio from Icom; and check out the radio planning for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
