2.6 GHz Spectrum & the Next Generation Mobile Broadband Networks

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.

Understanding the WiMAX Business Model

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.

Femtocells & Relays in Advanced Wireless Networks

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.

HSPA, EVDO, WiMax then LTE but what about the mobile backhaul??

Over the next few years, “user experience” will still continue to rely on 3G (and in some regions on 2G) technology.But for the mobile operator, LTE/WiMax is already part of the game plan. Operators have to learn the technology, and its impact on their networks, applications and service offering. Though, Service providers are seeking revenue and profit growth through new differentiated packet-based services. Many of these services, such as mobile Internet and mobile TV, require high bandwidth—and the current backhaul infrastructure is not optimized for handling such traffic. Hence, providers have to add backhaul capacity while keeping operational costs under control, a situation that is forcing carriers to migrate their access and core networks to the new 3G and 4G infrastructure. The point is which solution is the best, whether T1 or microwave, fiber or hybrid…lets check which serves the best cost, throughput and deployment advantage..
