Aug 2016/ Posted By: Kelly Capizzi

<p>In millimeter-wave deployments, densification is a necessity, not an option, for a number of reasons. Recently,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.senzafiliconsulting.com/">Senza Fili Consulting</a> analyst Monica Paolini sat down with InterDigital&rsquo;s Alpaslan Demir to discuss the role of densification in millimeter-wave bands. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Alpaslan is a part of the team at InterDigital working on the next-generation millimeter-wave network that is addressing challenging problems in densification. He stated in the interview that, &ldquo;the beauty of these frequencies is that the new bandwidth they make available is tremendously large&rdquo; which &ldquo;gives you the ability to increase densification.&rdquo; Alpaslan went on to say that, &ldquo;the more bandwidth you have, the more data you can transmit,&rdquo; and explained that this ability is what makes millimeter-wave bands a priority for operators and why there is an overall industry push for that expansion.</p>
