The 1000x Challenge-Ensuring
Optimal User Experience:
The Path to a 1,000x Increase in Capacity for Mobile Networks
With over 6 billion connections, mobile networks represent the biggest technology platform in the history of mankind. Mobile devices are becoming a primary gateway for interactions with other people, media consumption and even content creation. The cellular infrastructure, originally designed to carry voice traffic, now also needs to support web access, social networking, connected applications, interactive gaming, online shopping, internet radio and video streaming. While capacity has always been a matter of focus for the wireless industry, cumulative sales of 5 billion smartphones and millions of other tablets, notebooks and mobile devices in the next five years will create unprecedented demand for wireless network providers. Operators need to prepare for this surge in data demand, with some suggesting the need to plan for 1000x growth.In this session you will hear from Matt Grob, CTO of Qualcomm, about the technology path his company is taking to maximize the use of spectrum and address the capacity challenge. Attendees will learn how a combination of additional licensed WAN spectrum, extreme cell site densification and high efficiency techniques in wireless communication can provide operators with the capacity that users will demand. Furthermore, Mr. Grob will share how achieving 1000x in capacity will require a change in the wireless ecosystem mindset, a new vision in which networks are planned in a very different way.
