A Dozen Operators Launching LTE Services in 2010

LTE – GSM Long Term Evolution

Global Market Analysis of Subscribers, Services, Devices, Infrastructure, and Chipsets

This study provides an update on the latest developments in LTE. A 3GPP Release 8 standards update is included, as is information on the next two iterations of 3GPP standards, Releases 9 and 10. The report discusses primary components of LTE such as the enodeB and the evolved packet core. Various architectural configurations are also addressed, along with the pros and cons of each.

The research provides insight into a number of operators’ strategies, vendor solutions, frequency bands used and latest development in the IPR analysis. A list of all operators with defined LTE plans is also included, along with potential CAPEX spending. The report also includes multiple forecasts including: LTE subscribers, enodeb, gateways, modems, and handsets.

What Questions Does This Report Answer?
