Die nächste Generation der DSL-Technik sieht auf den ersten Blick dem VDSL-Vectoring sehr ähnlich. Aber genau besehen bringt sie nicht nur höhere Geschwindigkeiten, sondern könnte auch Wege zu neuen Tarif-Modellen öffnen. G.fast ist ein rekursives Akronym für "fast access to subscriber terminals". Die kommende Technik erscheint spannend, weil sie das VDSL-Vectoring-Konzept fortführt und dabei einen weit größeren Frequenzbereich verwendet, sodass sie auf der Telefonleitung auf kurzen Strecken in den Gigabit-Bereich vorstößt. Über Distanzen bis 250 Meter liefert sie je nach Leitungsgüte rund 1 GBit/s. Zurzeit eingeführte VDSL-Vectoring-Anschlüsse sind für maximal 100 MBit/s in Downlink- und 40 MBit/s in Uplink-Richtung konfektioniert. G.fast sendet breitbandig ab 2,2 bis 106 MHz und in einer erweiterten Fassung sogar bis 212 MHz. Prinzipiell können G.fast-Installationen anderen DSL-Techniken aus dem Wege gehen, indem sie einen kleineren Teil des Frequenzbands nutzen, also mit der Übertragung erst dort starten, wo der VDSL-Bereich endet (z. B. ab 8,5, 17,664 oder 30 MHz). In Deutschland sendet VDSL bisher üblicherweise mit 17 MHz Bandbreite. ...

Best Global Brands 2014 - Interbrand unveiled the new brand ranking on the campus of the Munich University of Applied Sciences

1.6 trillion US dollars: that is the total value of the 100 most valuable brands in the world in the new ranking "Best Global Brands 2014" of the world's largest brand consultancy Interbrand. Marco Rivolta, senior consultant at Interbrand, has exclusively presented this new ranking on October 9th - on the campus of the faculty of management at the Munich University of Applied Sciences - parallel to the two hours previously made New York Stock Exchange publication. Most valuable brand in the world remains Apple with a record high of 118.863 billion USD. This corresponds approximately to the value of the gross domestic product of Bulgaria. New among the top 100 brands are DHL, Land Rover, FedEx, Huawei and Hugo Boss. Facebook is the second time in a row the brand with the highest growth (+86%) and therefore worth 14.349 billion USD. China's Huawei, the world's third largest smartphone provider, and a major global force in telecommunications and networking, may be more of a household name in Asia than in Western markets, but it is making serious inroads globally-and has earned its place in this year's Best Global Brands ranking. After spending years defending itself against claims of breaching cyber security, the brand has gone on the offensive with making the connected world a reality for more people. Focused on innovation and aggressive globalization, Huawei strategically utilizes its resources according to market demand. A testament to the success of its strategy, the multinational networking and telecommunications company is quickly becoming the market leader in Latin America and Central Asia, and a major player in both Europe and Canada. With a new marketing approach to support its ambitions (getting closer to more consumers), the brand recently launched a more consumer-friendly face. Its work in partnering with telecom carriers around the world is being leveraged as a way to show consumers how much of an impact Huawei has on the world they live in. The goal is to develop products to meet consumer demand rather than meeting minimum costs and specification requirements from carriers. Its telecom network equipment, IT products and solutions, and smart devices are used in 170 countries and regions. Leveraging experience and expertise in the ICT sector, the brand helps bridging the digital divide and promoting high-quality broadband connectivity for all. A better connected world is on the horizon. Working closely with partners, Huawei endeavors to build an efficient and integrated digital logistics system which will enhance interconnectivity and interactivity – between people and people, people and things, and things and things – to spark infinite opportunities and potential for everyone everywhere and to move the world forward. With a current global market share of 20 percent, and a place among 2014's Best Global Brands, Huawei is moving at full speed and making its mark on the world. With his method of monetary valuation of brands, which was first presented in 1988, Interbrand pioneered the brand valuation and the measurement of economic success of brand investments. Since that date brands provide no longer just a cost center but an - and often the most valuable - asset position of the company. At the end of his guest lecture Marco Rivolta gave a glimpse into the future of brands. Under the headline "Age of You" Interbrand sees this especially in an increasing importance of individualization of brands. Those brands that will be able to create a tailored to the individual person, personalized brand experience, so Marco Rivolta, are among the most powerful brands of tomorrow. Spoken in the words of Interbrand’s Global CEO, Jez Frampton: "The future of business is personal".

"We are starting to form a picture that Broadcom’s
launch into G.fast last week was not nearly so strong
as Sckipio’s and that it has made the dreadful mistake

The G.fast launch which Broadcom orchestrated
at Broadband World Forum seemed simple on the

that were on offer are at the heart of the matter and
the rest may well be supposition, cynicism and vested

Its FTTdp Technology Is Available Now

An executive at a major US telco once asked, back in the dawn of the digital media era, “Why would anyone need 1 Mbps in their home?” Until recently, we said that 50 Mbps was sufficient for most residences but the changing market for OTT services has prompted us to increase that to 100 Mbps or more. Chipmaker Lantiq has pioneered a broadband technology called FTTdp (fiber-to-the-distribution-point) that allows telcos to offer speeds in excess of 100 Mbps without having to install fiber all the way to the home. Its newest FTTdp chipset, called Vinax dp, allows telcos to offer speeds up to 200 Mbps down and 100 Mbps up without the costly, messy and time consuming process of deploying fiber all the way to each residence. The fiber that the Vinax-capable equipment is connected to can be as far as 200 meters away from the residence. That’s a long way when you’re digging trenches or stringing fiber on poles. The savings for telcos in not having to build all-fiber networks is in the billions of dollars and it’s hundreds of thousands of work hours... ...

“You get the service you want at the quality you want. By far the most flexible and secure gateway that has ever existed!” -- Rainer Spielberg, Lantiq. Multi-Gigabit Routing Enables Unmatched QoS, Paired with Dedicated Security and Hardware-Enforced Virtualization to Deliver True Digital Home Experience

Munich/Neubiberg, Germany – March 16, 2015 – Lantiq, a leading supplier of broadband access and home networking technologies, today introduced the industry’s most integrated home gateway network processor. The new GRX350 combines unsurpassed routing performance and bi-directional packet classification to provide True Quality of Service (TrueQoS™), along with a dedicated Trusted Execution Processor (TrustWorld™) and hardware-enforced virtualization (TrueVirtualization™). This virtualization isolates concurrent applications so that networking functionality executes separately from non-networking applications, such as smart home services. One benefit of this architecture is shortened test time and time to market of new applications – without endangering the stability and integrity of the core networking software. The MIPS based GRX350 network processor integrates carrier grade edge router features into its advanced home gateway architecture, which includes multiple CPUs, Gigabit switch with integrated GPHYs, 3x3 Wi-Fi, Voice and DECT telephony. Following Lantiq’s AnyWAN™ concept, the chipset effortlessly handles any kind of wide-area-network (WAN) connectivity including the new G.fast standard.

Next generation multi-service gateways based on the Lantiq processor will concurrently manage multiple Gigabits of incoming data streams from interfaces, like G.fast, GPON, Gigabit Ethernet WAN, VDSL2 or hybrid access network approaches such as DSLTE™ (DSL + LTE).
GRX350 integrates advanced offloading technologies to intelligently manage the multi-millions of packets from all the wired and wireless devices competing for network bandwidth in digital home environments doing it with a 0% CPU load.
In a first for home gateway network processors, Lantiq applies TrueQoS with hardware acceleration to all downstream and upstream data traffic, using full packet classification and bandwidth protection to assure the best possible customer experience
With GRX350 the home gateway supports virtual provisioning of network functions in SDN (Software Defined Network) / NFV (Network Function Virtualization) scenarios by linking the standard OpenFlow™ protocol to its embedded TrueQoS and Packet Acceleration engines.

Rainer Spielberg, Vice President and Head of the Residential Gateway Solutions Business Line at Lantiq: “The new Lantiq GRX350 Network Processor opens the door to previously unavailable levels of service quality in broadband home networking. With Lantiq TrueQoS, customers get the service they want at the quality they want. In addition the GRX350 will power the most secure gateways ever available for home networks, thanks to the dedicated security core. We believe these unique features will be the heart of the true digital home.” The GRX350 is based on Imagination Technologies’ interAptiv processor core which is among the most performance-efficient and feature-rich CPU cores in its class. GRX350 includes multiple multi-threaded MIPS CPUs. Availability Samples are available now, volume production is planned for the second half of 2015.

Laut einer Prognose von Cisco soll der Datenverkehr sich bis 2020 um den Faktor 36 erhöhen und gleichzeitig die Gerätedichte signifikant zunehmen. Jeder Mensch wird durchschnittlich sechs Geräte besitzen, die mit dem Internet verbunden sind und zwei Drittel des Datenaufkommens im Jahr 2015 wird durch Übertragung von Videos entstehen.

Hinter den aktuellen Schlagworten wie dem Internet der Dinge (Internet of Things, IoT), Industrie 4.0, Big Data, Cloud Services oder auch vernetzte Automobile steht ein gemeinsamer Nenner - der steigende Bedarf nach schneller Kommunikation und der Austausch von immer größeren Datenmengen. Die Wirtschaftszeitung Focus hat das mit einigen Zahlen plakativ veranschaulicht, indem dargestellt wird, was bereits heute in einer einzigen Minute durchschnittlich im weltweiten Netz passiert: In einer Minute führen Internetnutzer weltweit 1,4 Millionen Gespräche über Skype und versenden 2,4 Millionen E-Mails. Außerdem senden Internetnutzer rund 280.000 Kurznachrichten über Twitter und fügen mehr als 120.000 Fotos auf Online-Portalen hinzu. Gleichzeitig werden 105.000 Euro Handelsvolumen auf Ebay erzielt, während Amazon in der gleichen Zeit für 93.000 Euro Waren umsetzt. In einer Minute erhält Google 2 Millionen Suchanfragen. Eine Google-Suche benötigt etwa 0,1 Kilowattstunden Strom. Pro Minute sind das also 200.000 Kilowattstunden. Mit der gleichen Energie könnte man ein Mehrfamilienhaus mit 100 Mietern ein Jahr lang heizen. Es sind also leistungsfähige, kosten- und energieeffiziente Lösungen zur Bereitstellung von Netzwerken mit hoher Bandbreite gefragt. Folglich wird die Verfügbarkeit von leistungsfähigen Breitbandzugängen ein immer wichtigerer Wettbewerbsvorteil für Unternehmen. Breitband-Internet ermöglicht eine Vielzahl von neuen Anwendungen, sowohl für Unternehmen als auch Privatleute. Die größeren Bandbreiten und damit höheren Übertragungsgeschwindigkeiten erhöhen die Qualität der Inhalte und bieten mehr Flexibilität für den Anwender. Breitband-Technologie ermöglicht neue Formen des Austausches großer Datenmengen – z. B. für Bild- und Musikdateien. So ermöglicht Breitband-Internet eine neue Qualität der Kommunikation und ist z.B. die Grundlage der Internettelefonie (Voice over IP = VoIP) inkl. Anwendungen wie Skype. Bereits heute werden alle Fern- und die meisten Inlandsgespräche über Voice over IP geroutet - ohne Qualitätsverluste. Im Gegenteil, immer mehr mittelständische und kleinere Unternehmen setzen auf diese leistungsfähigen Kommunikationstechnologien, die Sprach- und Datenübertragung miteinander verbinden. Dadurch gewinnen Betriebe an Effizienz und Flexibilität: Die Anwendungen sind unternehmensweit an jedem Endgerät abrufbar und die Kosten für Telefonie und IT-Administration sinken. Voraussetzung dafür sind hohe Bandbreiten für die Datenübertragung und eine homogene IT-Infrastruktur. Dies kann jedoch nur gewährleistet werden, wenn die Unternehmen auch im ländlichen Raum die Zugangsmöglichkeit zum Breitband-Internetanschluss haben. Nur durch die Teilnahme an der immer weiter voranschreitenden Kommunikationstechnologie können diese Unternehmen auch langfristig ihren Standort und bestehende Arbeitsplätze vor Ort sichern.

Breitband-Internet ist nicht nur für Unternehmen wichtig, sondern für eine gesamte Region, um wirtschaftlich Schritt halten zu können. Breitband-Verfügbarkeit ist zunehmend ein Kriterium für die Standortwahl von Unternehmen und Privatpersonen oder anders gesagt: Fehlende Netzabdeckung ist ein Standort- und Wettbewerbsnachteil. Es gilt Strukturproblemen in Folge des demographischen Wandels mit Fachkräftemangel und einer Breitbandunterversorgung im ländlichen Raum entgegenzuwirken. Daher muss der zügige und flächendeckende Ausbau einer leistungsstarken IT-Infrastruktur heute ein unabdingbarer Bestandteil jeder politischen Agenda sein. Über Lantiq Lantiq bietet ein umfassendes und innovatives Halbleiter-Produktportfolio für die kommenden Netzwerk-Generation und das Digital Home. Am 2. Februar 2015 hat die Intel Corporation die Übernahme von Lantiq angekündigt. Vorbehaltlich börsenrechtlicher Regularien soll die Übernahme innerhalb von 90 Tagen abgeschlossen sein.
