Julian Bright

Areas of expertise: Next-generation mobile networks and operator strategy, mobile broadband, LTE and WiMAX.

“The failure to identify globally harmonized spectrum for next-generation “4G” services means that LTE is being required to provide operators with multiple options in terms of channel size and spectrum band, as well as a choice between FDD and TDD modes. Spectrum fragmentation is likely to remain an issue globally.”
