Processes without the need for any human interaction will drive network coverage and connectivity requirements well beyond their current levels and put the existing internet infrastructure under increasing strain, presenting significant opportunities and major challenges for mobile operators.
This Mobile Broadband SIG will focus on some of the key issues facing the industry to explore what the future holds, including:
-
Types of devices likely to be accessing MBB networks in the future: From cars to sensors, parking meters to point-of-sale terminals.
-
How far will this evolution drive both connectivity and traffic? CAGRs of 70–80% to 2016 are forecast.
-
The implications and opportunities for mobile operators: As networks evolve, is there a real opportunity to grow revenue?
-
Will network technology scale up? What does a one-billion-device network look like?
Presentations will be heard from,
-
Tony Milbourn, VP Strategy, u-blox UK
-
Tom Rebbeck, Research Director, Analysys Mason
-
Andrew Hobbs, VP Solutions, Airspan
-
Alan Krisciunas, Senior Capacity Manager, EE Network Strategy
