Additional panelists include: Jim Parker, AT&T; Bob Friday, Cisco; Bo Piekarski, Crown Castle; Josh Gerst, RF Connect; and moderated by Peter Murray, CCI Systems.

Panel Description: Rising smartphone usage and endless data sessions mandate changes to how operators provide services indoors. Because more than 70% of wireless connections initiate from inside a building, wireless operators increasingly are leveraging Wi-Fi to relieve network congestion. This panel will explore how wireless operators are using Wi-Fi technology as an offload strategy, and the challenges and opportunities associated with Wi-Fi offload.
