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
