This is the first in a series of meetings in the Special Interest Group championed by Bell Labs Ireland, part of Alcatel Lucent Ireland Limited.

EEWAN SIG1 Focus area:

In the end-to-end communications solutions, one of the major contributors to energy consumption is the wireless access network. However, current wireless access technologies are not designed with energy-efficiency as one of the core requirements. This SIG will examine how to reduce dramatically the power consumption of wireless access networks, considering all levels from the network architecture to enabling component technologies.

Speakers include: 

• Dr Sam Samuel, Executive Director of Bell Labs Ireland - Introduction
• Dr Suresh Goyal, DMTS, Bell Labs - Industry Invited Speaker No 1.
• Dr Holger Claussen, Technical Manager, Networks & Networking Domain, Bell Labs - Industry Invited Speaker No 2. 

Sponsored by: Bell Labs Ireland, Research arm of Alcatel Lucent Ireland Limted.

This series of meetings will prove popular and examines the relevant issues concerning the wireless industry today and in the future. As always there will be ample time to debate, discuss and network throughout this half-day event, but booking is essential.
