Bytemobile’s CTO Talks with Mobile Communications International
Dr. Constantine Polychronopoulos, founder and chief technology officer of Bytemobile, recently spoke with Mobile Communications International (MCI), a publication of Informa Telecoms & Media. The interview, which appeared today in MCI’s April edition, focuses on network traffic congestion caused by the mobile data explosion and the solutions available to operators.
Excerpts from the Interview:
“LTE is going to make this problem far more pronounced, for a number of reasons,” he says. “As soon as you offer improved wireless broadband, you open the door to new applications and services. People are always able to come up with new ways of inundating any resource, including bandwidth. We’re going to see more data-driven applications on mobile than we see on the typical desktop, because the mobile device is always with you.”
And while LTE promises greater spectral efficiency than its 3G forebears, Polychronopoulos says, the fact that spectrum remains a finite resource will prove ever more problematic as services evolve.
The entire interview can be found in MCI’s April 2010 issue on pages 40 – 41.
