Telco 101, 201, ...

A mobile network is complex - and we have to deal with Technology from the Datacenter to the Radio Network and Terminal (cell phone..) - thus we started a Series of "How do I explain that to my Salesperson and Customer" Modules - the first introductory one is now at SunandVodafone.com. There is a huge wallpaper laying out in Detail the technology pieces required today - and in "Telco 201" tomorrow - that we use to explain the technical setup of a mobile Carrier - and Vodafone in particular. Come see us if you want to experience this as well.

A Wallchart, a Tablecloth, a Presentation, a Web Module - still, how would you make your Kids understand something while having fun? Stay tuned, we will let you know what being snowed in in Düsseldorf for a day can create (We want to test it first on our Team at the next Meeting - did I hear "guinea pig"?

Part of our future planning is also to think about where the future of the market goes - Core IT consumed a lot of Compute Cycles in the past, but grows somewhat along the lines of GDP - not enough as Compute Power grows exponentially (related to Moores Law still) - Lucky for us that Bandwidth to the end user grows even faster and enables a range of great new Services - say Google Earth, MySpace, YouTube - and great online games like World of Warcraft (WARNING: Extremly addictive, use with care).

No coincidence then that Vodafone just announced an exclusive MySpace on the Mobile partnership as well as eBay on the Mobile

The good news is: Vodafone and Sun coincidentally move exactly in the same direction, and Sun's Product portfolio of the future, with great Software around Identity Management, SOA/JCAPS and the multi-core low-power CoolThreads Servers based on the UltraSparc T1 Processor - and the followon Products in this family you will see soon.

Even in gray Winter the future seems bright again - and we are glad to be a part of it.
