The migration to LTE and WiMAX may not be an “either / or” discussion, but a story of blending. Service Providers must be ready to adopt an approach that will support the speeds and data throughput requirements that wireless customers will expect. This session will look at the real differences in these technologies and show how both carriers and consumers will adopt them. The session will examine the alternative technologies as well the migration issues that service providers must take into consideration when transitioning to a WiMAX or LTE platform. The session will also discuss how these two technologies will co-exist.
• Are the speeds of WiMAX going to differentiate applications?
• Will 4G applications require more throughput?
• When will Interoperability be achieved for WiMAX?
• How will legal and commercials issues impact this evolution?
