Workshop Goals

How do we meet the needs of exponential data growth in the next 5, 7, 10+ years?
Should the industry take an evolutionary or revolutionary path?

Can existing 3GPP-led cellular technologies meet the projected growth in data traffic or are there smarter ways of delivering capacity using innovation from the IEEE for new and so-far unknown applications and data hungry consumers?

 

This workshop will provide attendees with an in-depth view of the challenges and opportunities the industry faces to support the project exponential growth in data traffic.

  • Which bands (licensed, unlicensed or lightly licensed)?
  • What are the infrastructure challenges?
  • What are the user equipment challenges?
  • How can the semiconductor and packaging industry address the needs?

Next Steps - How Do We Proceed?

 

During 2012, IWPC formed a working group led by AT&T Research Labs to consider these issues; at the December workshop, we would like to begin the process of thinking through the development of a Global Ecosystem to deliver a truly mobile broadband experience for the future.

  • The Industry Doesn't Need Another Wireless Standard
  • What Can the IWPC do to Help the Industry Move Forward?
  • How can the IWPC Mobile Multi Gigabit Working Group Better Serve its Members and the Industry?
