Many users will spend up to 70 percent of their phone time indoors. At the same time, mobile IP data usage will outstrip mobile voice usage on legacy mobile networks. Yet these new higher spectrum bands RF signal range is shorter and more difficult to provide in-building coverage. Consequently, in-building coverage will become more critical as enterprise users rely increasingly on mobile devices for real-time location-based voice, data and video services.

It’s these issues that are driving strategies such as Femtocell and Picocell technologies. This method is being suggested with for EVDO, HSPA and WiMAX today.

This session will describe the issues providers will face and how to address them to provide reliable indoor-outdoor FMC solutions.

With the adoption of data standards for the wireless network, the existing T1s have to be augmented with new capacity and traffic management strategies. However, the history of the Internet has taught us there is a great deal of flexibility in how this traffic is managed and shaped. This session examines the possibilities of deploying solutions such as Metro-Ethernet and WiMAX and the opportunities for new services based on these solutions.
• What are the real capacity requirements for 4G networks?
• Will we always need to convert to circuit switch speeds (e.g. T-1, DSO) for backhaul?
