Hi!
This is the first of two companion issues. This is something that we haven’t done before so perhaps I should explain what I mean by that.

Anatomy of a Mobile Operator: Telstra
You may have noticed that Mobile World Congress now tends to disproportionately skew product release cycles to the first part of the year. It also throws up, or acts as a concentrator for, a wide variety of talking points. This concentration of energy and thought in mobile led us to think that perhaps we could mirror that, and serve the discussion at the same time. Hence having two issues around this critical time of the year would allow us to go in depth into some of the topics that require it, and take a double hit, as it were.

Picture Story: Inside Nokia’s Security Centre
So in this issue and the next we will run the first and second parts of features on 5G, VoLTE and Mobile Edge Computing. That means that we can look at the increasing organisational complexity that VoLTE seems to be introducing, as well as looking at LTE roaming structures; we can get in depth on some of the potential technical enablers for 5G; and we can look at exactly what Mobile Edge Computing is all about, and who is involved. The second issue will also see us add in a few more topical technology features, alongside these two-parters. So there we have it, two issues, very much alike, but also different. Welcome to Issue 8 of The Mobile Network Quarterly.
