The migration path for long-term evolution has several steps along the way. This session will look at the issues facing the migration from 3G and 4G and what systems have to be added, adapted or abandoned to make the vision a reality. Particular emphasis is placed on the discussion of how outside plant gets impacted in a world where wireline is overcome by wireless technology. Presented by: Bill GoodmanDirector - TechnologyVerizonLiliane Offredo-ZreikCEOThe Sannine Group, LLCManuel VexlerChief Marketing Officer IMS/NGNHuawei TechnologiesChris EbertHead of 4G Strategic MarketingNokia Siemens NetworksCheck Other SessionsRegister Now The Evolution of WiMAX(4G5-02) Tuesday - 02/03/09, 1:00-1:45pmAs WiMAX deployments rollout across the world, real world experience is providing valuable feedback that will be used to continually develop standards. This session will identify what opportunities are driving new standards and whether or not these standards are suffering from geographic implications. This session will discuss the status of WiMAX standardization and certification, as well as the technical challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for WiMAX. The impact of LTE on WiMAX development will also be discussed.

Defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Program (3GPP) researchers, IMS is the next gen architecture for mobile communication services and while it represents the interests of the operators, it is not the only option for delivering voice over 4G RANs. Greenfield operators, while starting from a clean slate, also face a myriad of architectural choices for voice services. This session will explore the following questions and issues: - What are the architecture and infrastructure choices for incumbent and greenfield mobile operators for voice services? - Where should service providers locate session-oriented service delivery intelligence and control—in the core or the edge? What’s right and wrong about each approach? - What are the requirements for secure and interoperable wireless services? Does IMS deliver all that's necessary? What additional issues must be considered for FMC and blended wireless-wireline access networks? What are the optimal technology choices relative to product availability, cost, functionality and scalability in terms of performance and capacity?

Already many LTE carriers are looking to make WiMAX part of their backhaul solutions? So where do the two solutions compete and where do they complement. This will be the subject of this discussion.

What is the LTE market opportunity and implications for the broader ecosystem, including equipment providers, operators, and device manufacturers? Additionally, presenters will discuss how the current economic climate might impact the overall LTE business case.
