What to Do About 4G Backhaul?
Although the transition to LTE is well underway,
4G backhaul is still a complex challenge for
many operators.
Joel Brick
With so many solutions available, operators

Should an operator deploy fiber or wireless?
Should an operator deploying wireless
backhaul use its own spectrum or look at

Amir Makleff 4GWE KEYNOTE SESSION
President & CEO High Frequency Spectrum Solutions
BridgeWave
Communications Recent spectrum discussions have focused
on the lower frequency bands suitable
for mobile services to end users.
These discussions often miss significant
opportunities for solutions that take
advantage of high frequency spectrum
to support mobile backhaul and
alternative access systems.
This session considers the role high
frequency spectrum can play in next
generation mobile networks.

Breaking Down the Licensed-Unlicensed Wall
Wireless ISPs often categorize themselves as “licensed” or
“unlicensed” based on the type of spectrum they use to
Jeff Kohler Raja Gopal provide service.
JAB Broadband Alvarion The spectrum crisis is beginning to break down this categorical
wall – all ISPs are feeling the impact of the data explosion no
matter what type of spectrum they use.
Traditionally “unlicensed” ISPs are beginning to look at licensed
spectrum to increase their capacity and coverage, and
traditionally “licensed” ISPs are offloading traffic using
unlicensed spectrum.
Given the new data reality, the time may be ripe for previously
unthinkable deals among “licensed” and “unlicensed” ISPs.

Managing the Spectrum Crisis
Most agree that increased smart device penetration
is creating spectrum crisis that the transition to
Fred Campbell Hank Hultquist LTE can’t solve on its own.
WCAI They also agree that more mobile spectrum is
AT&T needed, but spectrum legislation has been slow
in coming.
What are the best options for transitioning more
spectrum to mobile with or without legislation?
Can heterogeneous networks manage the crisis in
the interim?
Are wholesale arrangements a viable option?

Small Cells Where they Count;
Building out the Core
Small cells are being billed as a cost effective
solution for network congestion and the
Piyush Raj Craig Easley seemingly insatiable consumer appetite for
American Tower Accedian Networks data, yet small cells also present interesting
and complex challenges relating to
deployment, spectrum reuse and
operations of a heterogeneous network.
This session will explore the future of small
cells from the perspective of leading
operators and vendors in the field and
address some of the key challenges posed
by this fast emerging technology.

Mobile Opportunities & Security
in the Enterprise Sector
Mobile deployment is accelerating in the enterprise
sector due largely to the availability of relatively
low cost, highly capable devices.
Although there is significant potential for growth in
Tim Wagner the enterprise sector, fear of data loss and
leakage is hindering broader adoption of
smartphones by businesses with regulatory
compliance or enhanced security requirements.
What are the security requirements of the mobile
enterprise sector and how can operators take
advantage of this opportunity?
