Industry analysts Michael Thelander and Iain Gillott will be joined by Wireless Infrastructure Association CEO, Mike Fitch, as well as executives from AT&T, Sprint and LightSquared for an online and in person event focused on the future of Wi-Fi, femtocells and macro cell networks
AUSTIN, Texas (Nov. 3, 2011) – The explosion of data consumption, combined with subscriber growth and mobility needs, is putting today’s networks under tremendous pressure and customer experience is becoming constrained. In addition, as operators evolve their networks to LTE, the cost per bit for delivering data services is steadily increasing and improvements in capacity driven by LTE on its own will be insufficient to address future consumer demand.
Session Themes
– Intelligently increasing coverage and capacity by strategically placing small cells in the network
– Addressing the carrier’s need for small cells as a cost-effective capacity or offload solution
– How small cell architectures and LTE networks are enabling public safety communications today
– Understanding traffic patterns and why iDAS is an effective, technology agnostic in-building solution
– Ensuring QoS for the ever more demanding consumer and enterprise customer
– Planning an effective backhaul strategy for a heterogeneous network
-The evolving chipset for the small cell/basestation market
