Squeezing Spectrum

Panel Session

PSM1: Squeezing Spectrum

Friday, 22 November 2013, 13:30 - 15:00, Jupiter 8

Continuing penetration of smart mobile devices and applications has led to "squeezing spectrum" and the industry has developed various solutions to alleviate intensifying spectrum needs. For example, equipment players are developing new products such as small cells, some operators are pushing for network/spectrum sharing and WiFi offloading, and regulatory bodies are reviewing the use of new spectrum bands.

In this session, we will explore regulatory and commercial implications of these solutions (vs. technology characteristics) on the future network architecture.
