PMC-Sierra, Inc. (PMC®)
(Nasdaq:PMCS), the semiconductor and software solutions innovator
transforming networks that connect, move and store big data, will speak
at the International Wireless Industry Consortium Interactive Technical
Workshop, Evolving
Transport Networks, Opportunities and Challenges for Wireless
Fronthaul/Backhaul, January 12-14, 2016, at the Double Tree by
Hilton in San Jose, California.
On January, 14, 2016, at 1 PM local time, Scott Wakelin, senior product
line manager for PMC’s Communications Business Unit, will present
“Mobile Fronthaul: Solutions for 4G and 5G Networks.” His presentation
will include a detailed overview of:
-
Industry trends in mobile Radio Access Networks (RAN), including the
evolution of CPRI Rates, centralized baseband processing, and the need
for mobile fronthaul networks; and
-
Critical requirements of mobile fronthaul networks; and
-
Fronthaul network technology alternatives with a specific focus on the
benefits of OTN networks for scalable, carrier-grade CPRI fronthaul.
The workshop brings together first-hand knowledge experts to discuss the
challenges operators are facing as they migrate to LTE-A and 5G
networks. The explosion of fixed and wireless applications including
streaming video, download and uploading social media, access to cloud
data, VoIP, VoLTE, and E911 for mobile devices presents new transport
network challenges related to performance and latency. These challenges
are compounded in the wireless “last mile.” Future radio access networks
are facing a significant transition from dedicated point to point
connections to Ethernet-based switched networks. With the emergence of
fronthaul, new ways of dividing the functional responsibilities of radio
processing to meet the future network demands is required. Is the
operation of two separate network domains for both fronthaul and
backhaul scalable for future 5G networks? Will converged fronthaul and
backhaul networking architectures enable migration to future virtual
and/or centralized 5G mobile networks? To register, visit: http://www.iwpc.org/ConfRegistration1.aspx?ConfID=367.
