RCR Wireless Conference Orange County
RCR Wireless Global Tour and Conference Series
Thursday, November 10, 2011
General Session: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM PST
Networking Reception: 5:00 PM PST
Hosted and broadcast live from Hilton Orange County Costa Mesa
Part of the RCR Wireless Global Tour and Conference Series, the RCR Orange County Conference is an interactive discussion on current mobile broadband trends and how mobile broadband is driving investment, innovation and economic growth. Held in partnership with the California Wireless Association, industry influencers will discuss current technology choices and business models that will enable innovative services and address the escalating demand for data. Onsite attendees have access to Q&A sessions with industry executives, networking sessions and product showcases in a dedicated exhibit area.
Explosion of data consumption, combined with subscriber growth and mobility needs, is putting today’s networks under tremendous pressure and customer experience is becoming constrained. In addition, as operators evolve their networks to LTE, the cost per bit for delivering data services is steadily increasing and improvements in capacity with LTE on its own will be insufficient to address future consumer demand.
iGR forecasts mobile bandwidth demand will increase eleven fold over the next four years with the number of devices connected to mobile networks rising quickly. With the advent of tablets, M2M and a range of mobile consumer electronics devices, the average number of connected mobile devices each person carries will more than double in the next few years with more apps downloaded and more concurrent sessions. This contributes not only to the increase in bandwidth but also to a significant rise in signaling traffic on mobile networks.
To meet consumer and enterprise demands for improved mobile bandwidth, signaling and coverage, mobile networks are developing around small cell technologies and offload solutions – DAS, femtocells, pico cells, WiFI – for both indoor and outdoor environments. This evolution presents new challenges to network architects and vendors alike, from placing antennas and cells in suitable locations to providing sufficient backhaul to those cells.
This conference will offer a deep insight into the different ways that mobile networks will evolve in the coming years. It will also offer solutions for how carriers can meet the demands of consumers and enterprises for data services, ensure network performance and monetise the mobile network.
