4:00pm: High Throughput Over-the-Top (OTT) Cluster-Based Wireless Services
Abstract: Meeting the dual challenge of the FCC’s Tier 2 wireless service level objective of 25 mbps downlink and 3 mbps uplink and end-user demand for high resolution over-the-top content requires an innovative approach of allocation and managing spectrum resources. This presentation will describe an approach to providing remote and rural users within various terrestrial environments sustainable downlink rates. Descriptions of field trial deployments in the Southwest and Northeastern US will demonstrate how real-time spectrum management and monitoring can work to maximize spectrum reuse and minimize mutual interference.
Speaker: Bill Brown is the Founder and President of Metric Systems Corporation. He received his BSEE and MSEE from the University of Illinois, Champaign, IL. He has held staff positions at MIT Lincoln Laboratory and Raytheon Corporation.
