    We have added a new forum to this site, as discussed. I have called it the 5G Forum. I have described it as a discussion group to:

    “Swap ideas on 5G technology and the innovative applications whose deployment it encourages, including Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things.”

    Erlang for Excel

    Supporting all versions of Excel (both 32 and 64 bit), this add-in introduces eight Erlang functions that you can easily use in your workbooks to analyse your telecommunications trunk groups and estimate the number of call center agents you need at your inbound call center.

    Westbay Engineers were the first company to put Erlang functions online (in 1996) and, three years later, the first to integrate Erlang with Microsoft Excel.

    Hi Wallis,

    Thanks for your encouraging comments. Importing 56,000 messages across to this new format was no small task, but worth the effort I think.

    It’s interesting to see how this forum has changed in twenty years, as have the interests of industry specialists. It started with PBX questions and slowly moved to mobile/GSM issues, which I know you regularly contribute to. We don’t generally take part in the discussions but can easily add a fourth forum. Should we do that? What should we call it?

    Have you seen Field of Dreams? “If you build it, they will come”, is a famously misquoted line from the film. Perhaps it would apply to a new discussion group.

    All the best,
    Tom Howard.
