Developing Successful Business Cases for 4G Networks and Getting Them Financed
Led by: Haig Sarkissian & Randall Schwartz, Principal Consultants, Wireless 20/20, LLC
Workshop Objective:
With financing for 4G network developments in the current climate at a premium, developing a successful business case is more important than ever. An operator not only must understand the multitude of technical and financial parameters that go into building a complete business case, but they must also understand the confusing technology options in today’s emerging 4G market. This workshop will look at the key success factors for building a winning business case, and understanding what it takes to get networks financed. We will also look at the emerging technologies for HSPA+, WiMAX™, LTE-FDD, and LTE-TDD. In addition, we will review case studies for comparing the technologies in a single deployment and transitional business cases to help understand the optimal time for operators to transition from 3G to 4G.
The emphasis of this hands-on business planning workshop will be the go-to-market services and pricing strategies for business and consumer markets. Wireless 20/20 will leverage its WiROI™ Business Case Analysis Tool to present informative and engaging case studies of 4G network initiative and demonstrate the key success factors in developing a winning business case.

The Impact of Antenna Technology on the 4G Service Provider Business Case
The proliferation of 4G equipped SmartPhones and tablet devices, coupled with the increasingly user friendly mobile experience, will continue to drive exponential increases in mobile data consumption for years to come. 4G service providers are faced with the challenge of reducing their cost-per-bit economics as they try to deal with the impact of this “mobile data tsunami”. Antenna technology can play a significant role in improving the performance of 4G networks which contributes to cost reduction. This session will examine improvements in antenna technology and their impact on the business case of a 4G (LTE) service provider. A case study will be showed using the Wireless 20/20 WiROI™ Business Case Analysis Tool to illustrate the impact of technological improvements on 4G business cases.
