Wireless networks are undergoing an incredible transformation, evolving from support for analog voice only to digital high-speed data traffic. While overall revenue is growing at a respectable 11 percent, CTIA figures for year-end 2005 show wireless data revenue grew at more than 86 percent.

Accommodating this phenomenal growth requires wireless service providers to grow their network coverage and capacity -- a task they will be engaged in for some time and with great pressure to meet time-to-market demands while satisfying cost goals, city zoning conditions and diverse user requirements.

This balancing act can be made easier with the right infrastructure partner. Find out more about how your wireless network expansion strategy might benefit from the network depth, verticality and expertise of local utility network operators in this FREE, live Webinar brought to you by xchange and SRP Telecom.

In this Webinar, wireless service providers will:

• Learn how the utilities industry is rallying around best practices for wireless network expansion, including efforts by United Telecom Council
• Discover how colocation with a utility can speed time-to-market and streamline zoning compliance
• Understand how new technology architectures, such as distributed antenna systems and WiMAX, map well to utility network deployments
• Review a case study of a real-world mobile operator deployment using utility network infrastructure, assets and expertise.
