It could be said that mobile operators are a victim of their own success. In developing countries mobile broadband is the primary delivery mechanism whilst, in the developed world, it’s all about scaling to meet the continuing growth in data.

But as mobile operators move to All-IP networks to meet these challenges, the technology opens new vulnerabilities in end-to-end security. In a short video (less than 20 minutes) Paul Gainham (Senior Director of Service Provider Marketing, EMEA) distils the factors driving growth, the new security threat vectors, and how resilience, network reliability, session scale and IP Security can be reconciled.

In the past, every mobile generation wave was defining all the elements, from radio, to RAN, backhaul and core of the network. The technology cycles where longer and dictated by the industry.

Nowadays, we find mobile operators in certain countries still awarding their 3G licenses, while in some other countries they are deploying LTE, in some other testing LTE-A and in some places discussing 5G. If you are the guy in charge of defining the Mobile Backhaul (MBH) strategy, you better look at requirements for the next few technologies to not fall short. The different MBH requirements aren't just about capacity, but also about more accurate timing and synchronization, lower latency, more flexibility in defining routes, security...

In the attached video-presentation, I explain at high level what is our vision for Mobile Backhaul and some recommendations on how to evolve it. Designing a seamless network from the begin, will simplify it's evolution towards service abstraction and service enrichment.

Technologies such as seamless-MPLS, SDN and NFV will be key!

SDN and NFV are certainly grabbing the headlines at the moment. They are hot topics wherever you look; journals, conferences, webinars you name it everyone is trying to have their say. But in the mobile world the transition to LTE networks is just as exciting. And, it could be argued, without this transition the full benefit of SDN and NFV cannot be delivered to mobile operators.

In an eighteen minute video (you can view the video directly here), Paul Gainham, Senior Director Service Provider Marketing EMEA, suggests mobile operators have been victims of their own success. In the developed world customers want to use mobile to receive content whilst in emerging markets, such as Africa, mobile is the primary delivery mechanism for broadband services to both the enterprise and consumer markets. Capacity is crucial and the transition to all-IP LTE networks is an obvious progression. However, the move to LTE introduces its own challenges.

In his video, Paul Gainham looks specifically at the topic of security. In an accessible manner he outlines the issues and challenges facing mobile operators before suggesting solutions that can be adopted. For Paul there are three security insertion points: Mobile device security, network infrastructure, and applications. And, for this presentation, Paul focuses on the network infrastructure.

He acknowledges that the Gi/SGi and Gp/S8 interfaces (to the internet and roaming respectively) are understood and mobile operators have a good track record in securing these boundaries. The area of concern for Paul is the LTE Security Gateway. To bring this to life Paul compares and contrasts the 3G and LTE environments highlighting the fact that 3GPP standards do not mandate security for the LTE Access network. The video then takes a quick look at LTE Security solutions and here Paul is keen to challenge the myths surrounding security, resilience and latency.
