Description

The explosive growth of the mobile Internet, and the increasing diversity of use cases that enabled by this, forces network providers to concurrently support a large variety of applications and services. This introduces the need to transform traditional closed, static and inelastic network infrastructures into open, scalable and elastic ecosystems. At the same time, new and emerging services impose enormous capacity requirements that exceed 1000 times the currently installed capacity. Furthermore, tenths of billions of end devices will require connectivity in a scalable and sustainable manner. To address these needs, a more efficient utilization of the radio frequency spectrum is necessary.
