The Road to 4G and NGN Wireless IP Migration Paths
Visant Strategies, Inc, Oct 2004
'The Road to 4G and NGN: Wireless IP Migration Paths' examines leading migration paths to 4G and Next Generation Networks. In doing so it looks at various definitions of 4G and NGN as well as the technologies that are expected to enhance future networks. A detailed assessment of the fixed and mobile wireless markets is also included.
Analysis is provided for 802.16, 802.20, HSDPA and subsequent UMTS releases, UMTS TDD, and proprietary broadband wireless technologies such as FLASH-OFDM, all which are considered steps towards 4G. Developments in Japan, China, and India are also monitored and the future role of technologies such as smart antennas, OFDM, software defined radio, and mesh networking is assessed. Subscribers, device shipments, and base station deployments are quantified and detailed comparative analysis of leading 4G candidates is provided.
Questions Addressed
- What is 4G
- Why are mobile carriers assessing alternatives to 3G
- What are next generation networks (NGNs)
- What will be the impact of Asian-based 4G development efforts
- Is additional fragmentation inevitable
- Which technology represents the best investment
- How do new technologies compare
- Will fixed and mobile systems converge
- Can 802.16 impact the mobile space
- Will HSDPA stem advances of alternative technologies
- Will mobile technologies replace 802.16 for fixed applications
