infrastructure. With mobile broadband systems currently deployed or planned in 41 countries worldwide,
the momentum of these next generation networks is taking shape before our eyes. Through these
networks, we are now seeing the true convergence of applications and services across both public and
private networks, as well completely converged networks. LTE is transcending wireless technology into the
IP world and by doing so creating a new age of network design, network management and most
importantly, network usage. Our panel of experts will guide you through the future evolution of this
wireless technology.

Presentation: Tower Construction:
Make Sure You Get What You Order...Today and in the Future
With LTE increasing the number of collocations on each tower, the stress on infrastructure is growing. It is
more important than ever to make sure your towers can handle the loading. When you build your next
tower, you need know the difference between a bad specification and a bad specification. Learn about
information that is key to a specification: Structure Height, Design Code, Mount Options,
Antenna/Microwave Mount Locations, Antenna Sizes, Dish Specifications, Site Location, Longitude and
Latitude, Exposure Category, Topography Category and Structure Classification. This presentation will
teach you the steps to competitive and proper designs.

Presentation: Planning for Selling or Acquiring a Tower
Many towers owners have questions as they grow their businesses. What are the current market
valuations for tower sites? What is the impact of the industry consolidations on tower valuations? What
can tower owners do to enhance the value of their towers both now and if they decide to sell in the
future? What if a tower owner doesn't want to sell but instead grow their business? What are the
financing options available to a tower owner?

Presentation: DAS, Small Cells and Wi-Fi Kick Capacity Up a Notch
As smart phone use has grown at sporting events, entertainment venues, college campuses, malls and
virtually anywhere else people congregate, operators have focused on ways to avoid system overloads by

capacity and ensure higher data speeds. Come here the latest on the technologies -- DAS, metro cells, Wi-
Fi and more -- that make it happen.

Presentation: How New Regulations Impact Wireless Infrastructure
There is no doubt about it. New rules from Washington will change the way you do business. More tower
site applicants will need an environment assessment than ever before. New rules will invite more antennas
to be attached to electrical poles. Recent court rulings may give the FCC shot clock some teeth. State
collocation by right legislation appears to be catching on. Come and ask questions about how these

changes will affect your business.

Recent congressional legislation removes local control of the collocation process, or does it? How will the
zoning process change as a result of this landmark bill? What other issues are facing today's site
acquisition and zoning professionals? In a round table format, professionals in the field will discuss how
they are coping with the challenges of the today's municipal zoning and siting landscape. What are the
