Panel Abstract:
Traffic management has become a major concern for mobile networks as bandwidth-intensive data transfer increases. The laws of physics can't be broken. Networks such as 3G, HSPA, LTE and WiMAX use the same network infrastructure (fiber-optic, copper, etc.). But with ever increasing amounts of data transfer, can broadband providers ensure access to all customers all the time?
With bandwidth-intensive applications, such as peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing, will more problems arise? The main drivers for bandwidth solutions stem from the problems providers deal with in terms of network capacity, volume and sufficient memory to continually supply consumers with 24-hour access to streaming data content.
To further complicate matters, providers have also been tasked with updating their networks regarding backhaul. A complete update to the backhaul will presumably relieve the bandwidth issue, but it takes money and time to make a noticeable improvement. Providers aren't likely to see adequate returns quickly. How will this impact bandwidth growth and adoption? What opportunities can semiconductor companies take advantage of to lead the charge and win the race to improve mobile data transfer?
