New Technology at CTIA Wireless 2008

Alcatel-Lucent believes it has developed a solution to what it calls a 'blind spot' in how mobile operators manage data traffic on their networks. The company today unveiled its 9900 Wireless Network Guardian, which promises to help carriers get visibility into how packet data and IP applications are transmitted over the network. Specifically, the Guardian will look at how applications such as VPN, e-mail, Web-surfing and peer-to-peer potentially create network congestion because of the resources in the network that they use.
