When we hear the words "Mobile World Congress" we immediately think of a huge trade show focused entirely on the latest and greatest smartphone technology. Over the past few years smarthphones have certainly generated a lot of attention. This year was no exception. Pre-event buzz was all about Google’s Android open source platform. Oddly, only a few announcements have been made, Huawei’s entry into the smartphone market with their Android-based prototype and the new HTC phone, Magic.
But Mobile World is about so much more. Long before smartphones entered the scene, Mobile World Congress (3GSM) had a huge focus on next generation network technologies. I'm happy to report the real buzz going on at this year's show was not on the end user device but on the next generation infrastructure, Long Term Evolution (LTE).
