May 2009-
As significant as the demand for wireless broadband connectivity is in developed countries, the demand is far outstripped by that in high-growth countries such as India and China. According to Alcatel-Lucent’s Mike Seymour, in mature economies broadband access is increasingly considered a universal service and users have a high expectation of access anywhere. However, the economic downturn has impacted which of the two major technologies, WiMAX or LTE, will succeed in the 4G world. ...

The road to 4G wireless is not straight and smooth, but will probably be filled with implementation bumps and detours. However, a clear path is being developed, as Fanny Mlinarsky shows in her presentation. She discusses the current state of and future plans for a variety of protocols and standards, including 802.11, 802.16, 3GPP, ITM-2000, and ITM-Advanced. She further discusses developments in HSPA, HSPA+, WiMAX, and LTE.

Part of the greening of wireless design is making sure handsets are efficient, but the other portion lies in the wireless network itself: the power amplifier. Today’s power amplifiers are only about 15 percent efficient, due in large part to use of multicarrier systems. Passing RF signals from multiple carriers through each PA creates power peaks, and requires the PA to draw enough power to handle those peaks. Moving to new-generation, small base stations allows ...

As mobility becomes a key piece of the competitive landscape for enterprises large and small, the security of FMC becomes significant. Tim Olson, CTO of Agito Networks, contends that FMC security requires an end-to-end, multilayer approach, and in this panel discussion he gives concrete examples of the tools and techniques that could make up that approach. He also presents specific examples of implementing FMC security for various applications and for IMS.

By 2013, there will be 1.1 billion WiFi devices in use –- just one of the many challenges of those faced with designing and implementing the next-generation networks. This evolution of the network requires a concurrent evolution of management strategy, from a point element-oriented model to a user- and application-centric approach. Cisco Systems’ Chris Kozup provide an easy overview, including thoughts on the peculiarities of an RF environment, life cycle management strategies, and the effect network intelligence ...
