Wireless Backhaul via Satellite - Enabling the Wireless Revolution

Of the globe's 6.7 billion people, at least 3.5 billion (or more than half of the world's population) now have a mobile phone compared to 1.3 billion fixed line phones. In many countries, mobile phones far outnumber landline subscribers, and the gap is expected to widen over time. With urban usage having grown at a blistering pace and as metropolitan markets begin to saturate, it is clear that the market opportunity for wireless backhaul within the next 10 years lies in tapping the other 3 billion people (and growing). However, one significant challenge is in how to implement solutions to enable mobile and wireless usage for populations that reside in rural and more remote locations. This session will discuss technical, economic, market and regulatory forces at play in tapping rural markets as well as other industry forces that need to experience concurrent development in order to realize the market potential and address pent-up demand. This session will likewise examine the evolution of urban markets where opportunities in WiMAX and 3G implementations may provide opportunities for satellite backhaul as well.
