Mobile Broadband (1hour)Forming part of mpirical’s acclaimed “The Essential Guide to” series, this 1 hour eSeminar introduces the principles of Mobile Broadband by examining the main concepts of a mobile data service through discussion of the operation of GPRS. This is extended through an outline of 3G and evolution of the high speed data services. Finally the main building blocks of the fourth generation of mobile networks is examined based on the WiMAX, LTE and UMB initiatives. Who Should AttendNon-technical staff requiring a concise overview of current mobile broadband technologies. Fixed Network Engineers wishing to gain an insight into the broadband capabilities of Mobile Service Provider networks. SynopsisDivided into 3 sections, the topics covered will include: Section 1: Mobile Broadband - The Current Landscape (20 minutes)Mobile Broadband data is currently experiencing an exponential growth in data volume. Due in part to a suite of innovative mobile handsets offering access to a wide array of addictive, informative and useful applications, this mobile broadband revolution is a significant challenge for Mobile Service Providers. In order for these Service Providers to stay ahead of the game, their technical, marketing and billing strategies must combine to offer a flexible, cost effective mobile broadband solution. This section explores the principle elements of a mobile broadband service offering, including:
Section 2: Mobile Broadband Evolution (20 minutes)From the IMT2000 initiative defined in the early 1990’s, the 3GPP’s 3G solution has evolved significantly. This section charts the development of UMTS from its basic circuit switched offering to the enhanced services offered by HSDPA, HSUPA and HSPA+. The evolution of antenna and radio transmission techniques such as MIMO are also outlined:
Section 3: LTE, WiMAX and UMB - Towards 4G (20 minutes)Although CDMA based systems provide the capability to deliver mobile broadband, the predicted increase in data rates associated with the next generation of services has led to the development of flat, all IP based networks employing a flexible, OFDM based air interface. This section provides a high level view of the main 4G contenders and analyses the performance and merits of each:
