In this special keynote session JMA Wireless, one of the industry leaders in in-building solutions, will join CBRE, the world’s largest commercial real estate services organization, to provide insight and share perspectives of how technology is being re-factored to help meet the needs of this new frontier. The session will explore some real life business case models and will highlight some actual enterprise venues that are finding their way to coverage and capacity.

The HetNet Forum is dedicated to the advancement of heterogeneous networks. HetNets provide increased network coverage, capacity and quality through the use of a variety of infrastructure and technology, enabling seamless voice and data communications. The HetNet Forum is a membership section of the Wireless Infrastructure Association.

Billions of square feet in enterprise facilities go without a clear answer to better capacity from cellular services, at a time when the mobile device has become the workhorse of business and the social life line for consumers. In many cases prospective tenants include cellular coverage and capacity in their must haves, to the extent that it has become known as the “Fourth Utility.”

“It can be difficult to find easy justification by the stakeholders that typically deliver more capacity to these buildings, but the industry can be good at finding ways to solve for these problems, enabling enterprise facilities of all forms to finally gain access to mobile cellular coverage and capacity for their business,” said Ms. Kimbrough
