JDSU Webinar: Carriers are struggling to keep up with capacity demands while simultaneously increasing coverage. Throwing more spectrum at the problem is expensive, and only part of the solution. Bringing the network closer to users with small cells can help address these problems, but only bridges the gap for today's divide—what about tomorrow?
NTT DOCOMO has developed a dual-mode small-cell base station, or femtocell, supporting 3G (W-CDMA) and LTE simultaneously. The dual-mode femtocell will be commercially launched from December and offers for improved service coverage in indoor locations such as offices, shops and homes.

Part 1 of this presentation will cover:
- The Heterogenous [HetNet] and why we have it?
- The multi-standard HetNet, Why is it different? Why is it important?
AT&T plans to invest $14 billion over the next three years to expand and enhance its wireless and wireline IP broadband networks to support growing customer demand for high-speed Internet access and new mobile, app and cloud services. Company expects $8 billion investment for wireless initiatives and $6 billion for wireline initiatives.
Tokyo & Dallas, November 7, 2012 -NEC will outline the advantages of its small cell solutions for addressing challenges in spectrum, technology and management of future wireless broadband at LTE North America 2012, November 14-15 2012. The event will be held at Fairmount Dallas Hotel, Texas, USA.
To solve the 1000x data challenge, we need more small cells, and everywhere - indoors, outdoors, residences, enterprises, in all flavors-3G, 4G and Wi-Fi, and forms - femtos, picos, metros, relays, remote radio heads, distributed antenna systems etc.! But, isn't interference a limiting factor? How dense can we deploy? What are the future enhancements that take HetNets to the next level?
