Apple has increased the cap for downloads over 3G networks on the iPhone from 10MB to 20MB, in what some think is a sign of heavier multimedia content appearing for the upcoming iPad.
By now, every time you wanted to download a podcast or application from the App Store that was over 10 MB, you got an annoying message asking you to use Wi-Fi because the file was too large. But not anymore.

Wireless VoIP previews LTE capabilities
Starting in about 2012, 4th generation (4G) long-term evolution (LTE) technologies promise to convert today’s wireless mobile networks from dependence on traditional circuit switching to a flat, Internet Protocol (IP) networking architecture. But starting next month, wireless voice-over-IP services will begin previewing 4G-like capabilties for the “last mile” to the home.
A Look at VoIP Testing Solutions
In terms of passive testing, Touchstones’ Net Observer can do distributed real-time protocol and media analysis. It’s a scalable carrier-class monitoring and diagnostics solution for voice and video-over-IP communications. Net Observer works by placing software probes near the customer premise and one or more aggregators situated in the provider’s Network Operations Center (NOC (News – Alert)). Net Observer provides more than 125 metrics per call and reports call detail records in real-time. The detail records are stored in an SQL database and the results can be integrated into existing reporting systems through flat files, SNMP or the Radius protocol. Software probes scale in capacity from 4 calls to more than 1,000.
A Look at VoIP Testing Solutions
The coming of IP Communications to the world’s networks means that not just service providers and enterprises, for communications equipment manufacturers and communications software applications developers must take into account a complex, hybrid TDM / packetized network and how this impacts on Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE). Test applications must deftly handle everything from legacy analog and digital telephony to today’s VoIP and IP video networks. Moreover, the number and variety of devices plugging into this “network of networks” has multiplied as well. To test the quality of real-time IP communications in such an environment, today’s makers of test and measuring equipment and services have devised a multitude of software and hardware including handhelds, portables, benchtops, and rackmount test platforms for field, lab, data center and central office operation.
One interesting company in this area that’s been around since 1989 is Touchstone (News – Alert) Technologies. Their test and measurement equipment and services for communications derive from a talented group of engineers who also happen to lead the sales and management teams. Unlike any competitors, Touchstone provides extensive pre- and post-sales
support, taking time to help customers with their evaluation of the products; this can range from web demos to assisting with configurations and testing scenarios.
