Mobile Broadband: The Future

Mobile broadband adoption has reached a tipping point with 1.2 billion mobile subscriptions, the growth of the mobile internet ecosystem and availability of more powerful devices at affordable price points.

As part of a collaborative initiative, we are bringing together diverse minds in mobile, technology and broadband at a webinar to co-curate a vision and manifesto for the future of mobile broadband.

In February, we will then present our collective views shared during this webinar as well as via blog posts and discussions online as a roadmap of what broadband must achieve.

Join the online discussion using #MBBfuture and follow a summary of the discussions on this page as well as our blog.

    Nokia Siemens Networks has shown an LTE-Advanced demonstration achieving data rates of more than 1.4 Gbps. Using our company’s commercial LTE hardware, Flexi Multiradio 10 Base Station, our researchers in Arlington Heights, Illinois, aggregated five 20 MHz bands to achieve 100 MHz, the theoretical maximum for LTE-Advanced. The demonstration showed that operators with our Flexi hardware have made...
  • 2012.03.01 | How active antennas help operators get more capacity and coverage from macro sites, and give smartphones more bandwidth
    Smartphones need more coverage and better capacity Smaller cells step in to fill the gaps indoors and in hot zones. But how can operators get better capacity and coverage from existing macro sites, when users are unevenly spread out within the area? Signals spread over the cell sector The signal transmitted from an antenna spreads over a cell, and very little reaches any given smartphone. For...
