Editor's Notes
- #2 Good morning or good afternoon everyone depending on where you are. My name is Adlane Fellah, founder of Maravedis and I Welcome you a2to today’s webinar entitled Macro RAN, Small Cells and Backhaul Trends. This is the first ever webinar to feature 2 of the most prominent wireless analysts in the industry on the same event. We appreciate your time and we know how everybody is busy so we introduced this shorter 30 minutes version instead of the typical 1 full hour webinar. So let’s get started!
- #3 Today’s webinar agenda include a brief housekeeping items followed by a recap of who we are. I will then pass it on to Carolien Gabriel, research director at MaRe for an overview of the latest RAN trends and forecasts. We will then hear Earl Lum from our partner EJL wireless present his views and RAN and Backhaul. We will then
- #6 Maravedis and Rethink were both Founded in 2002 and we Focus on Wireless Infrastructure with 3 main areas being the RAN including small cells and carrier wifi, the backhaul both ptp and PMP as well as areas of the core network Since 2012, Maravedis and Rethin have entered into a joint venture to combine their resources and better serve our customers. Then since 2014, we have expanded the partnerhisp to EJL wireless which complements our research offering by adding 1st class backhaul research , base station tear downs, antenna market analysis and much more. We are now 7 full time employees in these locations
- #7 As I mentioned we focus on 3 main areas of RAN, backhaul , core, I want to mention that we also provide the only base station tear downs in the industry by EJL wireless and other unique products such as the ONLY backhaul regulatory database in the market. We also provide research under annual service programs for both the RAN and backhaul.
