10:15		Keynote Address - WiMAX & Beyond: the Case for New Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMNs) Thinking The WiMAX value chain & mobile broadband - "Share of Wallet" economics The case for New Thinking for NGMNs - the challenge of naked mobile broadband What is the Networks' answer to the inevitability of convergence? The inevitable challenge of LTE, HSPA… Co-opetition and the New World Order Conclusions: number of NGMNs per country and regulatory implication Hyacinth Nwana, Managing Director Mobile Media Solutions, Arqiva
10:45		3G / Mobile WiMAX / LTE Coexistence and Convergence What is the evolution of WiMAX and LTE towards 4G? Which one wins? How will the shift to flat architecture, IP networks, IP-HSPA / HSPA+ & LTE impact the future of wireless? How will IPR issues impact costs? When will real competition emerge between LTE and WiMAX – another 3 years? Phillip Redman, Vice President, Network Services and Infrastructure, Mobile and Wireless, Gartner Inc
11:15		Synergies Between WiMAX, 3G and LTE Broadband wireless opportunities are there for all technologies Synergies in network equipment platforms Site solutions for broadband wireless Operability solutions across broadband wireless technologies Services and applications for WiMAX and others Klaus Goerke, Head of Broadband Wireless System Product Management, Nokia Siemens Networks
11:45		Break
12:15		Clash of the Titans: How IPR Royalties Will Determine WiMAX vs. LTE IPR used in 802.16e mobile WiMAX is diverse and is expected to result in low IPR royalty structure. But as the standard progresses to 802.16m more overlap of technology has occurred between 3G-LTE. Meanwhile, LTE is shaping up to require licensing from key IPR stakeholders with stated goals that accumulate to several percent. This session looks at how IPR is developing within and between the two camps and how this might affect system and end user device costs and competition. Who holds IPR - for WiMAX? - for LTE? Areas of common IPR Can IPR licensing be confined to chip suppliers or will multi-tiered licensing occur? The foreseen impact on system and subscriber unit pricing and how this impacts embedded device costs Forecasts for expected royalties for WiMAX and for LTE How will IPR affect technology choice in China, India and other major markets? Why IPR helps China become a major supplier in LTE-TDD Robert Syputa, Senior Analyst, Maravedis
12:45		Driving Progress to Enable Roaming Within WiMAX Networks and With Other Mobile Platforms Mobile network usage pattern mutations Population demographics and trends Strategic ecosystem: regulators, operators and institutions Need for interoperability and unified standards Roaming for 3G/WiFI/WiMAX needs to be in place from the outset Key factors for successful roaming: ease of use: ubiquitous coverage, quality and price Rodophe Savouré, CTO, Trustive
13:15		Lunch
		Chairman: Robert Syputa, Senior Analyst, Maravedis
14:30		Strategies for Successful Positioning of WiMAX in Emerging Markets At first glance, emerging markets appear to be ripe for WiMAX, accounting for a large share of total WiMAX subscribers and deployments to date. In this session, Pyramid Research takes a closer look at the competitive landscape in these markets and the go-to-market strategies of commercial operators, highlighting what works and what doesn’t as well as the pain points and the keys to success for WiMAX operators. Specifically, the session addresses the following: Is WiMAX a suitable technology for emerging markets? How large is the opportunity? What types of service providers have adopted WiMAX? What are the profiles of target subscribers, and what is the pace of market uptake? What lessons can be learned from commercial operations that can ease network deployment challenges, help build attractive WiMAX-based services and accelerate adoption rates? Dan Locke, Senior Analyst, Pyramid Research
15:00		Case study - Progress With Complementary Service Between HSDPA Networks in 1.9 GHz and WiMAX Networks in 3.5 GHz in Chile Update on field trial with different providers - next steps in the WiMAX-e evolution and future synergy with LTE Synergy with fixed and mobile infrastructure – capex / opex, and perspective for new frequency band Subscriber numbers to make the business case for WiMAX in the SME market Market entry strategy / value proposition / tariff structures for the SME market CPE and device strategies for mobile and fixed service (HSDPA and WIMAX) – for urban, suburban area and industrial area clusters Competitor responses (fixed and mobile) Eduardo Duran Nardecchia, Director Innovation, Entel (Chile)
