EVENT INFORMATION

Broadband Wireless World boasts a 10-year history delivering quality information to leading service providers including mobile operators, ISPs, wireline carriers, utilities, and municipalities. This year's Broadband Wireless World, produced by Light Reading and Heavy Reading, will take place at NXTcomm, the largest telecom exhibition and conference in the United States. Focused on the evolution of the broadband wireless market from 3G to 4G, Broadband Wireless World at NXTcomm will provide an up-to-the-minute update on the transition of the U.S telecom services market from one of narrowband wireless services and fixed broadband services to one of broadband wireless services that in some business models complement wireline networks and in other cases compete with them.

The wireless destination on the NXTcomm tradeshow floor is the Broadband Wireless World exhibit pavilion. The pavilion showcases more than 60 vendors specializing in wireless technologies and mobile broadband solutions.

Centered on the 3G and 4G broadband wireless service visions of the major cellular carriers and their supporting ecosystems, the Broadband Wireless World Conference at NXTcomm will deliver a unique exposure to the future of broadband wireless and the likely implications are for service providers and network equipment vendors throughout the value chain. The two-day conference will be led by Heavy Reading's top mobile industry analysts, who will discuss today's critical broadband wireless issues, including:

• The transition to next-generation Evolved 3G, WiMax, and LTE networks
• The impact of open-access business models on mobile Internet applications
• The next steps resulting from the FCC’s 700 MHz spectrum auction
• Flat all-IP wireless network architectures optimized for mobile broadband
• Reducing transport costs in the backhaul network

Global C-level executives will be here, along with presidents, managers, VPs, engineers, and directors, representing service providers, carriers, enterprises, and communications vendors. All parts of the communications industry ecosystem will find value in Broadband Wireless World.
