Jon Brewer - Telco2
Abstract:
Radio spectrum is a critical part of many networks, and a basic understanding
of it is key to making decisions about how to employ it. This talk will cover
the utilized radio spectrum in New Zealand - what it's good for, who owns it,
and what they're doing with it. It will also help network operators learn what
to believe of the vendor and carrier hype in the media, and when to take claims
with a grain of salt, or a couple of beers.
