This is the second in a series of three meetings between Digital Communications Knowledge Transfer Network and the Future Wide Area Wireless SIG championed by Geoff Varrall of RTT Programmes, Stirling Essex of CRFS and Graham Maile of Plextek.
This next meeting focussing on ‘Standards and the New Economy’ analyses the impact that standards have on the economics of wireless broadband and point to point, point to multipoint and multipoint to multipoint delivery (first mile/last mile/middle mile) when analysed side by side with the technology advances being made in other areas including fibre, cable and copper. These technology advances suggest that bandwidth delivery cost may be falling faster in fibre, cable and copper than in wireless. If true, this has profound implications for the wireless delivery industry. One solution is to deliver more closely integrated standards across all delivery platforms, another is to learn lessons from other industries. Here are the speakers for the day:
Stuart Revell, DCKTN
David Barker, Quintel
Ian Vance, Amazing Communications
John Haine, Cognovo
Alan Howell, Inmarsat
Ollie Haffenden, BBC Research
Tim Masson, Agilent Technologies
This series of meetings has been hugely popular and really examines the relevant issues concerning the wireless industry today and in the future. As always there will be ample time to debate, discuss and network throughout this full-day event, but booking is essential.
To be able to attend this event for free you'll automatically be registered as a DCKTN member. Please note membership of the DCKTN is free.
The third meeting ‘Networks and the New Economy’ on the 9th November 2010 analyses the convergence that is taking place between wireless and wireline networks at technology level both at the edge and the core, the implications this has for network bandwidth delivery cost and efficiency. The impact this is having on industry business models and how network convergence can deliver long term competitive advantage to the UK.
