    conference focus

    3G wireless networks will need to deliver high speed, high capacity wireless data applications while simultaneously coping wit body lang=EN-US style='tab-interval:36.0pt'>

    3G wireless networks will need to deliver high speed, high capacity wireless data applications while simultaneously coping with an exponential growth in voice traffic. Meanwhile the wireless communications industry is already faced with increasing competition, which puts additional emphasis on capacity, quality and costs. Given the limited spectrum available for these new applications, considerations have to be given to optimizing current networks.

    The marcus evans 3G/HSPA Evolution and Optimisation Forum will give delegates a chance to explore the limitations of 3G and examine different strategies and solutions for 3G RAN optimization. This Forum will take a closer look at the potentials of network sharing for improved service and Femtocells for better indoor coverage. Through case studies by expert speakers we will discover different methods for measuring quality of service, the impact of regulation on 3G services as well as the limitations of backhaul capacity for optimum data traffic flow.

    conference quote

    "The increased desire for mobile data usage combined with growing pressure to improve and clarify budget management means that a new breed of optimisation tools are required to ensure a balance between data capacity and voice quality"

    Despite increased spending operators are rapidly exhausting the capacity on their existing networks. In order to remain competitive, they must optimise their 3G networks. They can either upgrade and adapt their networks utilizing existing infrastructure and radio frequencies, or deploy new technology and add to their current network infrastructure
