What: ATIS will present a Webinar titled: “Realizing the Benefits of LTE.” During the event, we’ll explore key issues shaping the next-generation of mobile communications.

When: Tuesday, October 13, 2009
1:00 pm to 2:00 pm ET

Cost: Free

Webinar content: As operators will need increased capacity to accommodate mobile IP capabilities in the near future, many are racing to evolve their networks to Long Term Evolution (LTE). Among next generation standards, LTE has emerged as the preferred solution to bring rapid evolution from diverse 3GPP and 3GPP2 legacy networks.

Just what implications does the LTE-evolution bring? What does your legacy network mean? Once an operator commits to LTE, what kinds of new business can be derived, and what new revenue streams open? How will LTE -- a capital intensive technology -- generate additional revenues for operators and their share holders?

During this webinar we will discuss and define:

• Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Evolution Data Optimized (EVDO), High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), and the Evolution to LTE Network Efficiency enabled through LTE and IP based platforms
• The current ecosystem players and new entrants’ potential to drive tomorrow’s marketplace
• Market penetration, 400%+ subscriber adoption, and why we’ll see 50 billion connections
• Innovation and disruption from vertical industries that are further enabled through wireless broadband technology

Featured presenters: Moderator, Dr. Philip Marshall, Senior Research Fellow, Technology Research, Yankee Group, and Speakers: Nishant Batra, Senior Director, Wireless Solution Sales, Ericsson Inc., and Bob Gessel, Head of Network and Technology Strategy – North America, Ericsson Inc.
