|
|
Due to
its ability to cover wide geographic areas efficiently, wireless
technology not only has the potential to become the third broadband pipe
into homes in the well served areas, but is beginning to provide the
most efficient solution for innovative and high-speed broadband services
to consumers in remote and underserved areas. The Seminar will examine
the technological, economic and regulatory factors that influence the
availability and deployment of wireless broadband services. The event
will provide an opportunity for wireless broadband business, technology
and regulatory experts to share their knowledge, experiences and views
on the future of the industry with ITU and Hosting Administration
attendees.
The seminar program includes sessions on the following topics:
introduction to wireless broadband; broadband programs and system
implementation; broadband solutions for rural and remote areas; wireless
broadband standards and technology; regulatory aspects of wireless
broadband; BWA planning and implementation; fixed-mobile convergence;
transition/evolution from 2G to 3G. |
