The cellular and broadband landscape is constantly changing and to gain maximum benefit from new technologies, it is vital that industry stakeholders stay abreast of the latest developments and the availability and potential of new technologies. MAC Ltd has a rich heritage of assisting the industry to understand new technologies and to plan for the future.

We were involved from the outset in the introduction of digital cellular systems into Europe, which included analysing the different technologies that were proposed as part of the GSM standardisation process. Since that early introduction, we have had constant involvement, performing detailed analyses of a wide range of cellular and mobile broadband technologies such as GSM, cdmaOne, UMTS, HSPA, LTE and WiMAX. We have also been instrumental in providing the industry with an understanding of radio propagation in dense urban areas and the tools to plan high capacity microcellular networks.

Our deep understanding of the various technical issues puts us in an ideal position to assist you with the assessment of new technologies and what they can deliver to your customers and your business. We have recently been asked by our customers to answer questions such as; Will femtocells damage the performance of my 3G network? Can microcells enhance the capacity of my 3G network and what design rules should I follow? What is the value of the 2.6 GHz spectrum to me and my competitors? If you require high quality, professional and independent technical expertise to build a strategic vision for your organisation, then MAC Ltd has the experience and expertise to help.
