The Path to 4G at CTIA Wireless 2008 is the ultimate resource for getting up to speed on 4G. Brought to you by the editors of FierceWireless in partnership with CTIA, this one-day event examined all angles of the mobile broadband equation, teaching attendees about current and proposed next-generation options.




What Was Learned

At The Path to 4G, attendees uncovered the latest insights and developments on:

  • Standards: What is 4G and how it will be defined by the ITU?
  • Spectrum: The spectrum requirements for each 4G technology and whether operators have enough bandwidth to deploy it.
  • Technology Trials: What we have learned so far about the performance of competing technologies such as WiMAX, HSPA, LTE, and UMB?
  • Deployment: The challenges and lessons learned in deploying 4G.
  • Market Demand: Consumer demand for next-generation high speed mobile broadband, and the applications that will drive 4G.
  • International Landscape: Whether overseas carriers are more likely to deploy 4G more quickly than those in the U.S., and what this means for the U.S. markets.
