What exactly is an erlang? "erlangs" were originally units of telephone traffic, associated with some relatively complex (to me) formulae for calculating the number of trunk lines needed in a network based on the acceptable number of "blocked" calls. In this age of wireless and data, erlang calculations remain an important means of quantifying the necessary capacity for a system. In the case of CDMA, EDGE, etc. it is a significant indicator of the efficiency of an approach, which translates directly into infrastructure cost advantages. The numbers you see are a major reason for believing in Qualcomm's continuing gorillahood. Also, for a little history lesson, see: pass.maths.org.uk tim@gottagocookaturkey.eat
