Riders of the Mobile Broadband

Riders of the Mobile Broadband

Riders of the mobile broadband. Finnish service providers are building wireless broadband with four different technologies: WLAN, 3G-HSPA, Flash-OFDM, WiMAX.

There will be fierce competition for users between operators. All technologies have their strong points but their coverage and functions overlap.

At MobileMonday evening we hope to clarify what are the strong points, where the technologies overlap, what are the drivers for each and what can be expected. We would also like to get an idea how this development is impacting different parts of the mobile community.

There will be a panel of fiercely partisan debaters who will defend their chosen technology and point out why it is better than any competing modulation method or protocol.

Airspan (the company that bought Radionet) will speak for WiMAX and Digita will be the champion of 450 MHZ and Flash-OFDM.

Prisma Research will lay the groundwork with a concise presentation of the Finnish wireless broadband market.
