CTIA: Mobile carriers still need lighter net neutrality rules
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission should not hold mobile carriers to the same net neutrality rules as it does for wired broadband providers because of unique mobile network management challenges, the head of the largest U.S. mobile trade group said. CTIA President and CEO Meredith Attwell Baker on Wednesday repeated the trade group's objections to calls by some advocates and members of the public for the FCC to hold mobile carriers to the same rules of wired broadband providers as the agency considers new net neutrality rules. Members of CTIA support net neutrality principles, but mobile broadband providers have limited spectrum that require "dynamic" network management practices, Baker said at a mobile broadband forum in Washington, D.C., hosted by the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

Samsung claims data speed test 30 times faster than LTE
Samsung Electronics said Wednesday it has tested blazing-fast data speeds for a next-generation network, clocking transmissions that are 30 times faster than 4G LTE. The Korean electronics giant said tests reached 7.5Gbps in a stationary setting, calling it an industry best. It also recorded stable signal transmissions at 1.2Gbps in a specially equipped Hyundai minivan traveling over 100 kilometers per hour at Everland Speedway in South Korea, and posted a video of the test on YouTube. So-called 5G successor networks to 4G, which currently operate around 100Mbps, could allow users to download a movie in only one second.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
Qualcomm to buy Bluetooth and GPS chip designer CSR for $2.5B
Qualcomm has agreed to buy chip company CSR in a move to strengthen its focus on the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected cars. Cambridge-based CSR develops wireless communications, audio and GPS chips for the automotive and consumer products markets. It also makes chips for indoor location services. Qualcomm plans to use CSR's expertise to strengthen its focus on IoT applications, as well as for its in-car infotainment division. Both business areas are fast growing and in order to become an important player in those fields, Qualcomm is willing to pay around £1.6 billion ($2.5 billion at current exchange rates), Qualcomm said Wednesday, valuing the company at a significant premium over its closing stock price on Tuesday. CSR designs a wide range of chips and software for mobile phones and other devices, including location technology that combines information from several satellite networks, and software platforms that combine multiple wireless technologies including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, FM and GPS. The company also develops low-energy Bluetooth chips and technology that can be used to connect low-power devices including wireless headphones to the latest smartphones and tablets. Qualcomm's bid for CSR beat an offer from rival Microchip, whose bid to buy CSR was rejected in August as the undisclosed offer was too low. However, talks between CSR and Microchip continued after that. Qualcomm competitor and former CSR shareholder Samsung Electronics sold its entire stake in the company in January. In 2012 Samsung bought 21 connectivity patents from CSR for $310 million.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
