Spectrum– Where Are We? Where Are We Headed? IBTUF X January 2016

Mobile data usage will continue to grow is projected to be MORE than FIVE times 2015

Coincidence?

Spectrum Timeline. BandWhen PCS (B2) AWS-3 (B66) Cellular (B5) ??

We don’t need more spectrum… Yet. But for now, we do need to continue to EXECUTE on solutions.

Densification Matters, And it starts with YOU

Good News: Microcell deployment is happening

What happens in 2021?

10x User Experienced Data Rate and 10x Connection Density Implies 100x Area Traffic Capacity. How do you get there?

10x User Experienced Data Rate and 10x Connection Density Implies 100x Area Traffic Capacity. How do you get there? Spectrum Efficiency * Bandwidth = Peak Data Rate. Therefore Bandwidth is at least 7x. Where does THAT come from?

10x User Experienced Data Rate and 10x Connection Density Implies 100x Area Traffic Capacity. How do you get there? Average Data Rate * Location density = Area Traffic Capacity Therefore Location density is at least 5x.

Spectrum alone won’t get us to We must continue to densify–just to keep up. Densification positions us for 5G.

Thank you.
