Holy Data! The New Business Model of Wireless MTZ-11
Mel Yarbrough
COO
Towerstream
The Internet has created a complicated World of Data where everyone can reach it. Companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft, compete with carriers for control of the mobile user while at the same time communities of Interest like Facebook, Foursquare and Twitter are encouraging mobile usage. To support the data services, carriers are looking for new alternatives, particularly in dense urban areas. With new standard formats such as PassPoint being introduced, WiFi offload and small cell are common buzz words being passed around the industry. This panel will take an indepth look at the wireless situation today from network to hardware as well as opportunities for tomorrow.

Most agree that increased smart device penetration is driving mobile data traffic at an exponential rate—doubling each of the past five years in the U.S. At the same time, the U.S. and many other countries are operating their mobile networks at high efficiencies and near capacity today. One technology solution is evolution to LTE, and that requires more spectrum to gain efficiencies. With legislators slow to release additional spectrum, all other options must be explored including heterogenous networks, SON, and short and long term solutions that may be addressed by application developers, mobile OS vendors and end users. What are other options? This panel session examines the key issues in managing the spectrum and the exploding demand.

Ericsson North America
Delivering service innovation includes a huge ecosystem: enterprise, web, IT, media, telecom operators and suppliers. Taking the discussion up a level from apps stores, APIs, and OTT; to a broader based and more thoughtful discussion on new business opportunities in bringing a diverse set of thinkers together. The carriers can catch the developers interest by support a range of ways to create new businesses. APIs are simply a piece of technology, the discussion would not limit itself to just what can get pumped through APIs, as its impossible to limit a service or business to a piece of access technology.

Scaling Diameter For LTE 4G-02
Greg Collins

Kevin Mitchell
Director, Solutions Marketing
Acme Packet
With the rise of LTE and pending roll out of VoLTE, Diameter signaling is a key focus area for many service providers. By replacing the legacy SS7 protocols in allIP networks like LTE and IMS, Diameter signaling enables the exchange of subscriber profile information to support voice and data services and roaming. It is critical element in LTE networks and managing that signaling is key for service providers to operate efficiently and profitably.Diameter signaling can be extensive and demanding on a network as it is used for attachment, location updates, roaming as well as QoS and charging for data, voice, video or multimedia sessions. As subscriber population expands and voice and data service usage intensifies, this volume of Diameter traffic can cripple a network. In order for the network to keep up with future surges in data and voice, specific control functions required to streamline operations and facilitate manageable scalability. This session will explore the Diameter signaling control requirements to provide: Cost effective scalability Maximum network uptime Network security Multivendor interoperability Troubleshooting and management tools

The Wireless world is shifting as we speak. Carriers adjusting their minute models as revenue declines. Apple becoming more powerful than the carriers they partner. .Mobile ecosystems form around applications and content strategies. This is not about who leads now, but the opportunities to add to the disruption and compete. We go up the layers as we look at everything from virtualizing the carrier with an MVNO model to integrating to compete with over the Top with Voice over LTE and Rich Communication Services RCS and WebRTC’s impact on the Mobile Web.

Localization, NG911 Oh My 4G-05
Bernard Aboba
Principal Architect
Microsoft
Glenn Richards (Moderator)
Partner
Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman
The ability to get location information is important for a variety of services and applications. Today the applications that use location are finding resourceful ways to discover where we are for consumer driven applications, while the telecommunications industry is attempting to cope with upgrading a legacy 911 system that does not match our communications models for the future. What should we consider the strategy to be for future solutions? Does NG911 need an app to become part of the consumers use of text and video? Does the use of alternate solutions for localization that the apps world has created refine or confuse the problem? Is NG911 a requirement that should expand beyond the carrier?

Rick Whitt (Moderator)
Director for Strategic Initiatives

Spectrum has been licensed for mobile use since 1981 resulting in an exclusive license mobile model for carriers and customers. WiFi has been unlicensed resulting in a flourishing mobile model. New models for other spectrum are needed to open up the playground for new innovative competitors. The new models may be a hybrid of licensed and unlicensed spectrum where the licensee has priority rights over other nonlicensees. Such a model will give carriers the incentive to invest capex in network and will ensure the spectrum is effiecentially used.
