PA Consulting Group gives clear perspective on delivering optimum mobile network capacity: Keynote presentation at 'Maximising Capacity in GSM, GPRS, EDGE and WCDMA Networks' conference, Lisbon - 18 November 2004

Julian Lake from PA Consulting Group - the leading international management, systems and technology consultancy - will guide mobile operators through the complexity of today’s technology options in his keynote presentation at IIR’s conference, 'Maximising Capacity in GSM, GPRS, EDGE and WCDMA networks',  at 09:40 on 6 December 2004 in Lisbon.

Julian, who heads the Wireless Networks group in PA’s Wireless Technology Practice, will provide insight on available and breaking technologies that cellular operators can use to maximise network capacity for customer applications.

The paper will examine the extent to which capacity needs are currently being met in GSM/GPRS networks and will assess the potential impact of EDGE deployment on capacity. It will go on to investigate the capacity available in WCDMA networks and the approaches that can be applied as data traffic increases, and will conclude with a discussion of the possible role for ‘disruptive’ broadband wireless technologies in mobile networks.

It will be of particular value to engineers and managers involved in mobile network strategy, design and planning.

In presenting the paper, Julian will draw from 18 years’ experience delivering wireless projects for suppliers, operators, users, regulators and investors, covering GSM, UMTS, PMR, digital TV, satellite and fixed wireless access networks.

PA Consulting Group’s wireless technology expertise includes network and system design and evaluation, radio network dimensioning and planning, cost modelling, technology comparisons, product benchmarking and due diligence, as well as service and product development for wireless operators and equipment suppliers.

About PA

PA Consulting Group is a leading management, systems and technology consulting firm. Operating worldwide in more than 35 countries, PA draws on the knowledge and experience of 3,000 people, whose skills span the initial generation of ideas, insights and solutions all the way through to detailed implementation.

PA focuses on creating benefits for clients rather than merely proposing them. Our work is founded on powerful insights into our clients' issues, and in the private sector in particular, on the need to deliver superior shareholder returns. We help accelerate business growth by developing innovative products for our clients and by the application of emerging technology. We deliver major transformation programmes, mobilize human resources, and manage complex IT and technically-challenging programmes.

PA's results-focused approach is founded on a unique commitment to excellence, value and independence:

  • Excellence. We are committed to unremitting excellence and quality in every aspect of our work:  in our relationships with our clients, in the client assignments we deliver, and in the people we recruit and develop, who enjoy exciting and rewarding careers at PA.
  • Value. PA's consultants bring an intense focus on delivering value through deep industry insight, the development and application of technology, and our culture of respect, collaboration and flexibility in working with clients.
  • Independence.  PA is independent of outsourcing, software, hardware and audit providers. We are the pre-eminent client-side advisor on IT and outsourcing projects, and deliver, in partnership with our clients, business solutions tailored to our clients' needs, rather than solutions pre-determined by commercial alliances. As an employee-owned company, we are answerable to our clients and to ourselves only.
