Why Attend?
Mobile broadband will continue to proliferate, and with its expansion comes network roll-out challenges, including the development of efficient methods to backhaul wireless traffic to the packet core. This webinar will explore some of the challenges operators face, as demands placed upon radio networks by mobile broadband underscore the applicability of small cells to improve both network coverage and performance, most notably in urban environments. The applicability of GPON technology to support this expansion will also be discussed.
By participating in this webinar, operators will better understand how to leverage their fixed broadband access network as a key enabler for their LTE small cells strategy.
