Towerstream to Present at 2015 Wireless Infrastructure Show
April 23 2015 - 08:00AM
Towerstream (Nasdaq:TWER), a Fixed Wireless Fiber Alternative
provider, announced that its President and Chief Executive Officer,
Jeff Thompson, will participate on two panels at the 2015 Wireless
Infrastructure Show at the Diplomat Resort and Spa in Hollywood,
Florida.
Panel #1: The Road Ahead: The Evolution to
5G
Date and Time: Tuesday, April 28th at
1:30pm-3:00pm EDT
Session Description: Much has been written
about '5G' without actually saying what it really is. Aside
from being the 'next generation' of mobile technology, 5G promises
to deliver a denser network capable of higher capacity and data
rates. This session will look at the detailed requirements for
5G, how these may be accomplished and the timeframes for
deployment.
Panel #1 Participants:
- Andrew Berg, Wireless Week
- Jeff Thompson, President and CEO, Towerstream
- Karri Kuoppamaki, Sr. Director of Technology, T-Mobile
- Ron Bittner, Vice President – Tower Operations, Parallel
Infrastructure
- Jim Nevelle, President and CEO, Kathrein
Panel #2: Inside the Unlicensed Spectrum
Goldmine: LTE-U, Carrier Wi-Fi and Beyond
Date and Time: Wednesday, April 29th at
8:30am-9:30am EDT
Session Description: The nation's wireless
carriers have long played exclusively in licensed spectrum bands,
noting that ownership over radio waves gives them complete control
over their services and the user experience. And still, licensed
spectrum affords wireless carriers the opportunity to tightly
control their quality of service. But the skyrocketing costs of
spectrum ownership coupled with users' swelling demands for data
are pushing carriers to consider their unlicensed spectrum
alternatives–and those options are many and diverse. From
carrier-grade Wi-Fi to Unlicensed LTE, wireless operators are now
seriously considering pushing their operations into free-to-use
bands ranging from 2.4 GHz to 60 GHz. Indeed, unlicensed spectrum
is being eyed as a key ingredient in 5G. But what does this new,
unlicensed frontier offer to carriers, infrastructure providers and
network construction companies? And what are the obstacles–from
technological to financial to regulatory–that these players will
have to face and surmount? This panel will delve into the crowded,
scrappy and potentially explosive opportunity presented at the
intersection of licensed and unlicensed spectrum.
Panel #2 Participants:
- Mike Dano, Executive Editor, FierceMarkets
- Jeff Thompson, President and CEO, Towerstream
- Surya Bommakanti, Vice President and Head of Mobile Broadband
Engagement Practice, Ericsson North America
- Derek Peterson, CTO, Boingo
- Karri Kuoppamaki, Sr. Director, Technology, T-Mobile
- Sergio Aguirre, Verizon Wireless Corporate Technology
