James Body, CTO, Truphone

We believe that now is the right time to look more closely at the nature of, and reasons for, the persistent 2G 'not-spot' problem as well as the state of mobile broadband coverage and work where appropriate to facilitate better coverage." Ofcom (UK Regulator) Mobile Sector Assessment 2009
In this session I would like to show how both unlicensed and licensed spectrum can be used together in a number of innovative and practical ways in order to provide full mobile and fixed services in areas that current spectrum holders do not consider commercially viable. I would seek to pack into 20 minutes:
In this session I would like to show how both unlicensed and licensed spectrum can be used together in a number of innovative and practical ways in order to provide full mobile and fixed services in areas that current spectrum holders do not consider commercially viable. I would seek to pack into 20 minutes:
- Definition of the problem (illustrated with real life scenario)
- New ways of managing spectrum to allow new entrants to innovate and compete
- Technologies of opportunity - the tools that are already available and are underdevelopment that will allow new operators to deploy fully functional infrastructures to places where conventional technology is not practical
- Deployment and operational costs associated with new technologies
- How and why it is possible for new entrant network operators to implement complete mobile communications infrastructures at cost levels that the existing legacy equipped operators would find exceedingly difficult
- [Out of session] Practical demonstration of a range of the current new technologies, possibly (venue infrastructure and licencing permitting) with live audience interaction!
