InterDigital Featured in Senza Fili LTE Unlicensed and Wi-Fi Report
May 14 2015 - 9:00AM
InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDCC), a mobile technology research and
development company, today announced that the company has been
featured in the report, "LTE Unlicensed and Wi-Fi: Moving Beyond
Coexistence," produced by Senza Fili in collaboration with RCR
Wireless and released on May 12, 2015.
The report contains an in-depth interview with InterDigital's
Jim Miller, Director of Radio Standards, which focuses on the
evolution of the role of LTE unlicensed, Wi-Fi and their
coexistence. Also discussed in the interview is the company's LTE
unlicensed strategy and support for the standardization efforts for
LAA-LTE.
In the report, analyst Monica Paolini also discusses the
important future technology with experts from market-leading
players, including Qualcomm, Alcatel-Lucent, Ruckus Wireless and
XCellAir – a startup launched by InterDigital earlier this year.
"For mobile operators, LAA-LTE has major implications, giving them
a new way to use the 5GHz band – generally associated with Wi-Fi –
with a technology that integrates better with their current
networks," said Paolini.
"We take a technology-agnostic position, because we feel that,
even though unlicensed spectrum is free to use, we want LAA-LTE to
use it fairly. If it is not fair to Wi-Fi, LAA-LTE will end up
occupying a niche market, where it can only be used in certain
spectrum where Wi-Fi isn't. That would not be good for it, and
would make it a fringe technology that we wouldn't necessarily need
to be further involved in," said Mr. Miller on InterDigital's
approach to both technologies.
InterDigital's extensive work on the integration and coexistence
of Wi-Fi and cellular networks provides a good vantage point to
assess the potential of LAA-LTE. "As a pioneer in enhancing mobile
wireless technology, the development of LAA-LTE has been an area of
focus for InterDigital," said Dr. Byung K. Yi, Executive Vice
President, InterDigital Labs, and Chief Technology Officer at
InterDigital. "In particular, the company is focused on making sure
it is defined to treat Wi-Fi and anything else in the spectrum
fairly."
