The Resurgence of mmWave - why now? - Thursday, March 9th, 1pm CST
mmWave frequencies have been in use for many years and are used in a wide range of applications. In the past, services such as LMDS tried to offer residential TV service but failed. But now, major operators are trialing mmWave networks to offer residential Internet service. Why now? What has changed that could make this new approach successful? And what does this mean for the wireless industry going forward?
Moving to the Edge - Thursday, March 30, 2017 at 1:00 pm CDT
Meeting the performance goals of 5G (higher bandwidth, lower latency) requires a fundamental change in the way mobile networks are architected and deployed. Far more application and content processing will take place at the edge of network. But where will this be? At the tower, baseband hub or central office? And what standards are likely to prevail?
Understanding 3.5GHz CBRS - Thursday, April 27, 2017 at 1:00 pm CDT
The Citizens Band Radio Service band (3.5 GHz) is supported by a wide range of big industry names, from Google and Intel to Qualcomm and Nokia. The way CBRS functions is fundamentally different from how licensed spectrum is currently used and promises to enable a range of indoor applications and services. This webinar will look at CBRS, how the band will be licensed and the potential impact on the indoor wireless market.
Consumer Survey Highlights - Thursday, May 18, 2017 at 1:00 pm CDT
iGR will present the highlights from its recent U.S. consumer surveys, discussing satisfaction with mobile services, reasons for churn and the uptake of OTT services and applications, among other subjects.
Fronthaul/Backhaul Update - Thursday, June 15, 2017 at 1:00 pm CDT
With changes in the architecture of mobile networks preparing for 5G, front- and backhaul are becoming key to the operators' ability to deliver higher bandwidth at lower latencies. This webinar will look at the latest trends in front- and backhaul, the impact of edge computing and the preference of the mobile operators to buy or lease fiber. In addition, the session will explore the options for wireless backhaul and how this will co-exist with fiber.
