Does this story resonate? Once upon a time, a technology is announced that generates significant press and industry interest. There’s a period of over-enthusiasm and unrealistic projections, a flurry of well-publicized activity by technology leaders…some successes, but more failures…The only enterprises making money are conference organizers and magazine publishers.

Because the technology doesn’t live up to its over-inflated expectations, it rapidly becomes unfashionable. Media interest wanes, except for a few cautionary tales.

Mobile Web 2.0 Changes the Rules Nokia: “We are the world’s biggest camera company”* "...more pictures are probably taken with Nokia phones every day than are taken with all but the biggest digital camera makers." * 12/10/2007 http://www.beet.tv/2007/12/nokia-we-are-th.html

Mobile Web 2.0 Changes the Rules The handset is now a multimedia, data capture device “pushing” rich media to social networking sites The nature of network data traffic is fundamentally changing. Traffic is becoming much more symmetrical with rich media uploads.

Our perception of “device” needs to change Wi-Fi enabling any camera, automatic geo-tagging and uploading through public hot spots to any Web 2.0 site: Flickr, Facebook, MySpace, etc.

SOME WIRELESS FUNDAMENTALS

Throughput & Capacity Lots of numbers get thrown around – typically peak throughputs 100Mbps for 802.11n, 54Mbps for 802.11a 70Mbps for WiMAX 100Mbps for LTE Warning : Your mileage may vary ! Average Throughput per User has greatest impact on QOE (quality of experience) Since the access point/base station, backhaul & spectrum are all shared resources, QOE depends on number of competing users and system capacity for each element

BelAir Key Conclusions Wi-Fi will remain a ubiquitous wireless broadband technology for access post-2015 Cellular handsets, music players, gaming devices, laptops Fixed-Mobile convergence & Mobile Internet are fast becoming “must have” by consumers Well-funded ecosystems are being built to fund and deliver rich mobile apps (Apple iPhone developers, Google Android, Windows Mobile, etc.) Proliferation of devices + rich content will require 2 orders of magnitude greater network capacity than exists today with cellular ILECs, wireless carriers and cable companies are all vying for the same subscribers Lines are blurring with UMA/VoWLAN over cable; wireless broadband access vs cable and DSL; IPTV vs satellite and cable Microcell topology is required to deliver data rate and capacity for wireless broadband in densely populated areas Wi-Fi today, Wi-Fi & LTE in 2011 and beyond

Wi-Fi will remain a ubiquitous wireless broadband technology for access post-2015

Cellular handsets, music players, gaming devices, laptops

Fixed-Mobile convergence & Mobile Internet are fast becoming “must have” by consumers

Well-funded ecosystems are being built to fund and deliver rich mobile apps (Apple iPhone developers, Google Android, Windows Mobile, etc.)

Proliferation of devices + rich content will require 2 orders of magnitude greater network capacity than exists today with cellular

ILECs, wireless carriers and cable companies are all vying for the same subscribers

Lines are blurring with UMA/VoWLAN over cable; wireless broadband access vs cable and DSL; IPTV vs satellite and cable

Microcell topology is required to deliver data rate and capacity for wireless broadband in densely populated areas

Wi-Fi today, Wi-Fi & LTE in 2011 and beyond

Thank-you!
