LTE Advanced (LTE+) aims to improve on LTE through carrier aggregation, network self-configuration, and relaying. The presenter's company, reconfigr, has over 10 years of experience in this area and is conducting trials with a large Irish network operator and US equipment vendor. Their technology can help enable LTE+ through features like carrier aggregation, network reconfiguration, and using alternative backhaul like relaying to combat high costs and unavailability of traditional backhaul for LTE+.
