The cost of scaling Wi-Fi capacity Wireless LANs rarely allow for simple direct cost comparisons. In addition to variable pricing structures among vendors, one reason is that product architectures differ. That means some systems have different components than others. So how can you compare them, tit for tat? 'Swatting' case shows need to ban caller-ID spoofing What Matthew Weigman and his cohorts did went so far beyond "pranks" -- or even hacking -- as to leave little room to question the sentence he received yesterday.

Mastering LTE Instructor Led | Duration: 2 Days   Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a radio technology based on OFDM and MIMO technologies. LTE provides much higher data rates (over 100 Mbps) to users while reducing cost-per-bit for service providers. This is very exciting to wireless operators who are eager to deploy multimedia rich Internet content over a wireless medium with seamless access anywhere, anytime. This course describes the simplified architecture of LTE and moves on to OFDM and MIMO. The course also covers the downlink and uplink frame structure, OFDM operations at the physical layer, and resource management and scheduling considerations at the MAC layer. It steps through the system acquisition, call setup, traffic operations and handover. The deployment and interworking issues with UMTS/GSM and 1x/1xEV-DO networks are also explored. In summary, this course provides a comprehensive overview of LTE technology.    WiMAX RF Design and Optimization Workshop Instructor Led | Duration: 4 Days This unique mentoring workshop delves deep into the behavior of WiMAX in commercial deployment, providing insight into the design process and field performance issues. It begins with an overview of WiMAX RF design. OFDM and multiple antennas bring opportunities and challenges to WiMAX RF design. A discussion on WiMAX specific link budget follows. The high data rate in WiMAX networks makes capacity design significantly different. A detail discussion on WiMAX RF design, site selection, and system acceptance wrap up the design part. The second part of this workshop focuses on the configuration of launched network, KPIs, and the impact of configuration parameters. A brief overview of data collection and post processing tools is followed by the key issues of RF coverage, access and drop connections, excessive and failed handovers, and downlink and uplink throughput. This workshop provides practical examples and uses actual field data for exercises. It is designed to familiarize the students with the tools and techniques to design and optimize their own markets.   IP/Ethernet Backhaul Planning Duration: 3 Days   The 4th generation (4G) of wireless technologies promises a much higher air interface data rate (over 100 Mbps) to users while reducing the cost per bit for wireless service providers. The current T1/E1 backhaul will not be able to support the high data rate with reasonable costs. The backhaul is already becoming the bottleneck in the existing 3G networks and will continue to be a challenge for emerging 4G networks. These networks require IP based broadband backhaul solutions. This course provides the background and solutions for IP backhaul planning for 3G/4G radio networks, starting with a review of the trends in 3G/4G wireless data services and related backhaul challenges. An overview of IP/MPLS is given since it is seen as an emerging technology for backhaul operation. Finally, deployment considerations and a backhaul migration path are discussed along with an exercise to calculate the backhaul requirements.   View all our Training program>>   PARTICIPATING OPERATOR SPEAKERS AT 4G WORLD 2009 Farid Arifuddin, Managing Director, Vavasi (India) Stephen Bye, VP of Wireless, Cox Communications Keith Cowan, President, Strategic Planning, Corporate Initiatives & CDMA, Sprint Nextel Corporation Kevin Curran, SVP, Wireless Product Management, Cablevision Systems Corporation Dr. Rafael del Villar Alrich, Commissioner, COFETEL Cliff Dinwiddie, Director, Data & IP Strategic and Business Development, Qwest Communications Kelley Dunne, CEO, DigitalBridge Communications Erik Hallberg, SVP & Head of Mobility Services Sweden, TeliaSonera Joel Hariton, Chief Technology Officer, Reliance WiMAX World John Horn, National Director, M2M, T-Mobile USA Dr. Teddy Huang, President & CEO, VMAX Telecom Hank Hultquist, VP, Federal Regulatory, AT&T Magnus Johansson, Wireless Broadband Group Director, Digicel Milan Kovačević, Deputy Executive Manager, Saga d.o.o, Michael Lai, CEO, Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Glenn Lurie, President—Emerging Devices and National Resale, AT&T Mobility Gerard MacNamee, CTO, UK Broadband Joan Marsh, VP of Federal Regulatory Affairs, AT&T Alejandro Mayagoitia, Manager, TELECOMARCA (Mexico) Tajit Mehta, Spectrum Negotiator, Spectrum Development, Clearwire, and Co-Chair, WCAI’s GDC Mike Mies, CEO, Mainstreet Broadband Bill Morrow, Chief Executive Officer, Clearwire Ing.
