		<description><![CDATA[The third-largest U.S. wireless carrier Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) deployed its first multi-mode base station in Branchburg, New Jersey. This marks a milestone move in the company’s Network Vision strategy, which serves as a major catalyst in its growth plan. Under the Network Vision strategy announced last year, Sprint will consolidate multiple incompatible networks (CDMA and iDEN) into one platform, supporting multiple technologies (3G and 4G) and spectrum bands (800 MHz, 1.9 GHz, 1.6 GHz and 2.5 GHz). The company expects the full Network Vision deployment to be over by year-end 2013. Moreover, Sprint Nextel would terminate its iDEN network in mid-2013. Further, the company is replacing its iDEN network on CDMA-based phones with a new version of Nextel&#8217;s &#8220;push-to-talk&#8221; feature from Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM). The Sprint Direct Connect push-to-talk ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ciena Corp. (CIEN) is scheduled to release its fourth quarter 2011 results before the opening bell on December 8, 2011. In the run-up to the earnings release, no major variation in analysts’ estimates was noticed. Prior-Quarter Recap In third quarter of 2011, Ciena narrowed its losses significantly on the back of revenue growth across its business segments, a favorable product mix and lower operating expenses. Current Quarter Expectations Ciena expects fourth quarter 2011 revenues in the range of $440.0 million to $460.0 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate was $ 475.0 million when the company reported results but has since been revised to $455 million, taking into account the disappointing guidance. Adjusted gross margin is projected to be in the low 40% range, consistent with the company’s near-term expectation. However, management ]]></description>

On July 29, the upcoming wholesale 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) wireless network operator LightSquared announced that it has decided to outsource a majority of its network to Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) instead of Nokia Siemens Networks, declared earlier. The deal between NSN and LightSquared was first announced in July 20, 2010. The 8-year agreement valued at more than $7 billion was considered the biggest ever wireless network infrastructure contract throughout the world. NSN was initially chosen by LightSquared to install radio access network (RAN), core network equipment, and several associated services. NSN had given the task to install and maintain a new U.S. 4G LTE mobile broadband network ]]></description>

First-quarter 2011 financial results were well below the Zacks Consensus Estimates and the second-quarter 2011 outlook provided by management was disappointing. What is important is that Tellabs’ globally reputed high-margin digital cross-connect products are also showing a downtrend. Therefore, gross margin of the company suffered a set back in the previous quarter and is expected to remain at low-level in the near term. Tellabs is aggressively targeting the mobile Internet market since its legacy switching products are gradually losing relevance. In the meantime, we do not find any immediate catalyst for the company. Tellabs is facing serious problems in its core wireless backhaul ]]></description>

Alcatel-Lucent is a leading provider of mobile, fixed, IP and Optics technology solutions. It serves service providers, enterprises, strategic industries and governments across the world. Micron’s memory chips will be used by Alcatel-Lucent to develop next-generation network offerings. Alcatel-Lucent will use the RLDRAM 3 memory in pioneering the 400 gigabyte capacity-oriented chipset. Micron’s yet-to-arrive RLDRAM 3 chip will allow faster and more efficient data transfer over networks. With this chip, network performance will be doubled, while latency will come down to less than 10 nanoseconds. Latency is the lag time between a request for data and its delivery. ]]></description>

The ISP is at present in the process of installing a 4,000 kilometers long fiber optic network in France. Tellabs 7100 Nano OTS will enable CELESTE to offer more bandwidth-prone services in a cost effective manner. Tellabs claims its 7100 OTS platform is capable of reducing service provider’s capital expenditures by 65% and operating expenses by nearly 85%. Although the financial terms of the contract are not known, we believe order from CELESTE will boost Tellabs since the company is currently facing serious problems in its core wireless backhaul solutions segment.

		<description><![CDATA[Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN), a 50-50 joint venture between Nokia Corp. (NOK) and Siemens AG (SI) to provide telecom infrastructure solutions, has suffered a setback. For the last 6 months, NSN was looking for a third party investor in order to inject funds, thereby reducing the stake of both Nokia and Siemens. Earlier this month, The Financial Times reported that the two major U.S. private equity groups, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and TPG, have backed out from their bidding for a significant stake in NSN. The departure of these two private equity groups primarily resulted from disagreement between the firms and NSN over price and controlling stake of the venture. Nokia, however, announced that NSN is negotiating with several other investors. Recently, The Wall Street Journal reported that both Nokia and ]]></description>

Currently, Sprint&#8217;s 4G services rely on a wholesale agreement with Clearwire Corp. (CLWR). The company owns a 49.9% stake in Clearwire and offers speedy data services to customers via 4G WiMax (a wireless broadband technology) in collaboration with the latter. Sprint’s 4G services covered 71 U.S. markets and reached 120 million people at year-end 2010. The coverage is likely to touch 130 million by the end of 2011.

		<description><![CDATA[Domestic economic data could not support the indices’ upward momentum on Monday as markets snapped back to red in the final minutes, hurt by cautious corporate guidance and geopolitical tensions. Consumer spending edged ahead while inflation soared to hit new highs post June 2009. Investors’ apprehension against betting big bucks was highlighted as volumes touched their lowest levels for the year. The Dow Jones Industrial average sank 0.2% and closed at 12,197.88. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 and Nasdaq shed 0.3% and 0.5% to finish the day at 1,310.19 and 2,730.68, respectively. Geopolitical concerns kept investors’ fears about volatility alive with only 5.9 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the lowest volumes till date for 2011. On the NYSE, nine stocks declined for every six that advanced. ]]></description>

According to recent news in The Economic Times, the first phase of 3G networks deployment in India may provide a business opportunity of approximately $3 billion for these network gear makers. If this actually happens, then India will generate the largest global telecom contract in 2010. In last May, Department of Telecommunications of India auctioned 71 3G spectrum licenses in the 2.1 gigahertz (GHz) band in the country’s 22 telecom service areas. Besides, the state run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTE), other private players, who own spectrum are Vodafone Essar; a joint venture between Vodafone Group Plc.

So now it’s only left to be seen how to take advantage… LTE Technology vs. Wimax Most industry insiders don’t see a clear advantage in either LTE’s technology or WiMax’s. Both offer fast data speeds up to 10 megabits per second. WiMax hit the technology market a little earlier than LTE, and charges a bit less ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google Inc’s (GOOG) application to the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) seeks to authorize the company to procure and market electricity. While some may view the initiative as a play in a new market, Google’s intention appears fairly obvious to us. Google is moving a step closer to its stated intention of becoming “carbon neutral&#8221;.  The company has been buying carbon offsets for the purpose. Offsets are instruments that may be purchased by carbon emitting companies that are used to finance renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. If Google could purchase renewable energy directly from a project, it would be eligible to receive Renewable Energy Credits (RECs), which would again take it closer to its carbon neutral goal. The problem here is cost. Despite subsidies and regulations, renewable energy ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Long-Term Evolution (LTE), the most sought after next-generation (4G) super-fast wireless communications technology is quickly gaining momentum in the Asia regions. The 4G wireless networks are aiming to cope with substantial demand for high-speed wireless data services and mobile video. Asia, especially the south and south-east part of this continent, contains the two largest emerging economies of the world, namely, China and India. Additionally, developed nations like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Philippines are also part of this subcontinent. As a result, the mobile services providers in this region often face increasing competition that forced them to upgrade their respective networks frequently. NTT DoCoMo (DCM), the largest wireless service provides in Japan is likely to become the first carrier in Asia to deploy LTE network. DoCoMo is all set ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The world&#8217;s first and largest commercial 4G service has been launched by TeliaSonera and Ericsson (ERIC) in Stockholm, Sweden. Although 3G (third generation) technologies deliver significantly higher bit rates than 2G technologies, there is still a great opportunity for wireless service providers to capitalize on the ever-increasing demand for wireless broadband and take advantage of the technology innovation that improves the economics of deploying mobile broadband networks. Consequently, there is an expanding revenue opportunity from a growing pool of consumers and business professionals who are demanding the same experience and applications that they enjoy on a fixed wire line connection over wireless &#8212; anywhere, any content, stationary or mobile. The solution is LTE. LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the project name of a new high performance air interface for cellular ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Motorola Inc. (MOT) has decided to purchase iDEN base station assets of the privately held RadioFrame Networks Inc. The iDEN (Integrated Digital Enhanced Network) technology allows cell phone calls to move on the same network as communication from two-way radios. In general, this technology resembles walkie-talkie features on cell phones. Financial terms of this deal have not been disclosed so far. Motorola itself is the pioneer of the iDEN technology that RadioFrame had licensed for its base station products. The main reason for this acquisition is the superior iDEN-based base station products of RadioFrame that are lower cost and more power efficient. This proposed acquisition will enhance Motorola&#8217;s portfolio of multi-channel base stations products that are optimized to support non-contiguous spectrum allocations in the special mobile radio business.

		<description><![CDATA[Qwest Communications (Q) has released its capital expenditure (CapEx) guidance for 2010. The local and long-distance telephone service provider expects its CapEX to remain at par with the estimated 2009 level of $1.7 billion. Qwest continues to invest in building necessary infrastructure to boost network capacity and availability. Historically, the company has allocated a major portion of the overall CapEx in deploying additional fiber-to-the-node (“FTTN&#8221;) capacity to increase the performance of its broadband network. Moving forward, Qwest plans to increase spending on deployment of fiber optic cable to support wireless services. The company recently introduced a new fiber-based Ethernet backhaul wholesale service for wireless operators. The service (called Qwest Mobile Ethernet Backhaul) leverages Qwest’s FTTN network to extend fiber connections to cellular sites. This will enable wireless operators to upgrade ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[China Telecom (CHA), the largest Chinese fixed-line operator, has successfully tested Alcatel-Lucent’s (ALU) multi-carrier EV-DO (a 3G technology) wireless network based on the Revision B (Rev B) standard. The Chinese operator’s subsidiary Shanghai Telecom has reportedly installed the multi-carrier EV-DO solution, which significantly enhances network throughput and reduces data latency (using multiple carriers) to meet increasing customer demand for high-bandwidth applications. The multi-carrier EV-DO Rev B network, which represents an upgrade from EV-DO Rev A, has demonstrated highly encouraging throughput levels in the lab test with peak download speeds reaching up to 9.3 megabits per second (Mbps). This will effectively enhance customer experience who subscribe to high-bandwidth wireless services including Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP), high definition video streaming and other multimedia applications. Leveraging Alcatel-Lucent’s network infrastructure support, Shanghai Telecom became the ]]></description>
