Mobility

• Capacity (Sufficient bandwidth per subscriber)

• Ubiquitous Coverage

• Creation of Het-Nets for improved Customer experience

Consumer Broadband

• Time to market

• Focus on cost efficiency

• Managing Last mile connectivity

Enterprise Connectivity

• Differentiated QoS

• Network Uptime

Densification of access networks also creates host of issues
