Powering the Mobile Broadband Revolution

Patrick Smith Chairman, Wavesat

As 4G is gaining momentum, different standards are competing to power next generation networks and new mobile services. WiMAX is the first technology to ramp and is emerging as a true disruptive technology. WiMAX also has a significant technology overlap with LTE, which is gaining new supporters and building on its 3G legacy. Patrick Smith of Wavesat will discuss the place of WiMAX in the Mobile Broadband Revolution and how WiMAX investment today can be leveraged into upcoming wireless technology developments for operators and system manufacturers.

This session will highlight some of the critical business case challenges of achieving positive ROI when deploying WiMAX networks. WiMAX20/20’s WiROI™ business case tool will be used to show example business cases and illustrate the challenges facing small, medium and large network deployments. In many business cases, the initial CapEx is dominated by the cost of the core network. Sun Microsystems will highlight the benefits of radically consolidating the core network in order to achieve faster ROI and reduce CapEx. Servista will demonstrate how a managed service back office solution can save operators significant CapEx and accelerate time to market. Danske Telecom will share their experience of how their WiMOSS™ WiMAX network management and visualization tools have helped them deliver dramatic improvements in radio performance, customer satisfaction, revenue and ROI.
