Strong momentum in the mobile infrastructure market continued in 3Q11, as mobile RAN revenues increased 20% versus the year-ago quarter, according to a new report from Dell’Oro Group. The increase was driven in large part by sales of LTE and WCDMA, which comprised approximately one-half and one-third respectively of the total market’s gain.
The report finds that from 2Q11 to 3Q11, Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent maintained their top ranks in LTE while increasing their shares to 44% and 30% respectively.
“Increased macro economic uncertainties have not affected mobile operators’ short-term appetite for investing in mobile broadband,�? commented Stefan Pongratz, Analyst of Mobile Infrastructure research at Dell’Oro Group. “Majority of the mobile operators have maintained their original mobile infrastructure capex plans for 2011. While total market revenues came in close to expected levels brought about by typical third quarter seasonality, there was a stronger contribution from 4G in 3Q11. The aggressive 4G rollout schedules of Verizon Wireless and AT&T helped propel the LTE market in 3Q11,�? continued Pongratz..

You just read about Dell. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Compellent built Virtualized storage arrays with automated tiering, thin provisioning and replication. What became of it?
Compellent brought Virtualized storage arrays with automated tiering, thin provisioning and replication to Storage. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Dell for US$960M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Dell today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
