What to Do About 4G Backhaul?

Although the transition to LTE is well underway, 4G backhaul is still a complex challenge for many operators.

With so many solutions available, operators need to decide what solution makes sense where.

Should an operator deploy fiber or wireless? Should an operator deploying wireless backhaul

use its own spectrum or look at high frequency options?

How can operators deploy low cost backhaul for small cell LTE deployments?

This session will provide operators with a comprehensive look at their mobile backhaul options in various contexts.

4GWE KEYNOTE SESSION High Frequency Spectrum Solutions

Recent spectrum discussions have focused on the lower frequency bands suitable for mobile services to end users.

These discussions often miss significant opportunities for solutions that take advantage of high frequency spectrum to support mobile backhaul and alternative access systems.

This session considers the role high frequency spectrum can play in next generation mobile networks.

When Does 4G Take Over Voice: VoLTE Rollout

Answering the need for data services has lead to rapid deployment of LTE by the carriers, while leaving the voice traffic on the existing 2G and 3G systems.

However, the goal is to bring all media to the evolved packet core.

What is the road map for the migrating to Voice to LTE VoLTE and how will SMS Text messaging will be changed.

The Panel looks at the migration and how carriers will evolve.

Breaking Down the Licensed-Unlicensed Wall

Wireless ISPs often categorize themselves as “licensed” or “unlicensed” based on the type of spectrum they use to provide service.

The spectrum crisis is beginning to break down this categorical wall – all ISPs are feeling the impact of the data explosion no matter what type of spectrum they use.

Traditionally “unlicensed” ISPs are beginning to look at licensed spectrum to increase their capacity and coverage, and traditionally “licensed” ISPs are offloading traffic using unlicensed spectrum.

Given the new data reality, the time may be ripe for previously unthinkable deals among “licensed” and “unlicensed” ISPs.

This panel explores the potential synergies in this sector.

The Case for Rich Communication Services: Maximizing Real Time Communications Revenue

The cross elastics between Voice Calls and Data Use has lead to revenue anomalies,

In building to Voice over LTE VoLTE the transition to the IP network will be complete, but will it be enough to maximize calling revenues?

Rich Communication Services offers to expand beyond existing voice and add services including video, contextual media sharing, and presence.

How can carriers find the upside in these services?

Managing the Spectrum Crisis

Most agree that increased smart device penetration is creating spectrum crisis that the transition to LTE can’t solve on its own.

They also agree that more mobile spectrum is needed, but spectrum legislation has been slow in coming.

What are the best options for transitioning more spectrum to mobile with or without legislation?

Can heterogeneous networks manage the crisis in the interim?

Are wholesale arrangements a viable option? This panel examines the key issues surrounding the

spectrum crisis and options for managing it.

Small Cells Where they Count; Building out the Core

Small cells are being billed as a cost effective solution for network congestion and the seemingly insatiable consumer appetite for data, yet small cells also present interesting and complex challenges relating to deployment, spectrum reuse and operations of a heterogeneous network.

This session will explore the future of small cells from the perspective of leading operators and vendors in the field and address some of the key challenges posed by this fast emerging technology.

Mobile Opportunities & Security in the Enterprise Sector

Mobile deployment is accelerating in the enterprise sector due largely to the availability of relatively low cost, highly capable devices.

Although there is significant potential for growth in the enterprise sector, fear of data loss and leakage is hindering broader adoption of smartphones by businesses with regulatory compliance or enhanced security requirements.

What are the security requirements of the mobile enterprise sector and how can operators take advantage of this opportunity?

Find out in the session.

Global Trends Impacting US.

It's a global economy and sometimes the trends are global and sometimes they are local. It is the contention of this panel that global trends are impacting the US now. First we take a look at the Digital Divide and the opportunity to deliver a wireless device to everyone in the US. The question here is what are the benefits and how do we ensure we achieve them. The next digital divide we speak about are the implications of spectrum us and particularly the impact of TDD vs. FDD. As we put more devices in people's hands will the spectrum requirement be solved in unique ways?Who benefits from our adoption of these technologies?
