LTE-Advanced promises to provide true 4G connectivity and to meet all the requirements of IMT-Advanced. What are the problems in LTE that need to be solved by the evolution to LTE-A, and how can you take the earliest possible advantages of the solutions it offers?
Attend this seminar by the leading LTE test solution supplier and find out why now is the time to benefit from LTE-A.
You will learn:
- What are the main drivers behind the rapid evolution to LTE-A?
- What are the benefits it promises in terms of meeting the growing demand for smartphones and the challenges they impose on the network
- How LTE-A helps to reduce OPEX and CAPEX for the operator
- How it enables operators to make the best use of expensive but fragmented spectrum and to improve coverage and capacity
- How can operators respond to the pressure for technology to be more energy-efficient
- What technology changes make all this possible – carrier aggregation, MIMO, self-organizing networks, interference management
- How quickly is the hardware likely to deliver all these benefits, and what technology developments will be needed?
