Mobile phone technology is driven primarily by two things the wireless network and the mobile handset. The mobile phone use cases have changed exponentially from a “telephone” on the run model to personal “mini” computer on the run. With the accelerated growth of internet the web is no longer limited to the personal computer and laptops but much more beyond that, ubiquitous internet comes into the picture. The point to be noted is that users are expecting a similar user experience from their handheld devices. This has triggered the need of mobile phones with a stronger operating system which makes the mobile phone smarter creating not only a richer web experience with always on data connection but also allowing users to do other personal day to day tasks and communication activities.

Though AT&T boasts of the fastest 3G Network and it might be too with the latest upgradation to HSPA+, but customer satisfaction and connection reliability index especially in urban areas are the two main reasons which might blur AT&T’s image. And with inclusion of bandwidth hungry smartphone (iPhone primarily) users in its portfolio, loading their networks and juicing out the backhaul, situation might get out of control for AT&T unless they start acting on it.

The licensing of the 2.6 GHz band will be critical to unlocking the benefits of global scale economies in the Mobile Broadband market. The outcome of 2.6GHz allocation will have far-reaching consequences for how the adoption dynamics of WiMAX and 3GPP (such as HSPA and, in future, LTE) will play out in this region since 2.6 GHz is the first arena where the two proponents will be battling each other in the same area of spectrum.So let’s jump in discussing and analyzing about the 2.6GHz band its importance, what’s in store and bulleting the future of mobile broadband.

The transition to the next generation network has been already envisioned by the industry players and the move has been outlined to meet the set objectives. The higher level objectives include offering higher data rates, greater system efficiencies, increased data capacity, highly scalable and flatter all-IP architecture with successful interoperability with mobile devices across different networks and technologies. This leads to advent of next generation networks like Mobile WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) developed jointly by IEEE and WiMAX forum based on IEEE802.16e-2005 global standard and LTE (Long Term Evolution) developed by 3GPP in its Release 8.
We will deep dive into the WiMAX business model analyzing the total cost of ownership, revenues and map the current state of WiMAX deployments around the world.

Consumer demand for ubiquitous service access has become a key determinant in the selection of one provider over another. In addition, both consumers and operators are pursuing more sophisticated, bandwidth-hungry services. And, finally, the roll out of spread spectrum 3G/4G networks has introduced a technology that compounds the challenges of providing in-building coverage. Femtocells & Relays will solve this problem and extend the broadband’s coverage to indoors.
