Mobile Entertainment is just one publication that has been discussing the issues around bandwidth, using the new Spotify app for iPhone as an example of a high-bandwidth app, which could harm voice calls.
So, how will today’s backhaul solutions stack-up?
Apps like Spotify for the iPhone are a taste of things to come. As high-bandwidth apps begin to saturate the market, many of today’s backhaul solutions will struggle to provide meet demand.
Why is this?
Because, most backhaul solutions are not able to dynamically allocate bandwidth between cell sites and the operator’s core network as their data demands fluctuate. The problem with many backhaul solutions available today, they are dimensioned for specific traffic peaks. They are not able to offer peak data capacity to a large number of customers at any one time.
The transition to all-IP networks helps in this regard but does not go far enough. VectaStar has a unique technology that will support ‘bursty’ data demands all the while ensuring that minimum capacity demand is met at all times. This works even in busy periods, when many alternative solutions struggle to keep up. We’re continuing to develop VectaStar’s unique architecture to support today’s cutting edge telecoms innovation to make sure we are best suited to meet whatever popular App may be around the corner!
We’re thankful to the following companies for their continued support and sponsorship.

How will Spotify harm voice calls? I don't see the correlation.
"The transition to all-IP networks helps in this regard but does not go far enough."
Why does it not go far enough? How does dynamic bandwidth allocation at the cell site level take it further?
