COMPLIMENTARY ADVISORY REPORT
| Dec 23, 2009 | Wireless Infrastructure | Market Advisory Report | Analysts: Peter Jarich, Research Director, Telecom Infrastructure, 2009 saw the deployment and expansion of HSPA and EV-DO networks around the world. LTE, however, remained the most talked about wireless technology of the year. As an evolutionary upgrade to today’s 3G networks, it is not difficult to understand the focus on the technology. For operators, LTE promises to drive down the costs of delivering mobile broadband services while enabling new mobile applications – all of which should extend the reach of mobile data services to new audiences. For vendors, LTE gives incumbent network suppliers a chance to leverage existing relationships into new revenue streams (i.e., network upgrades) while holding out hope for other vendors that they can use the technology shift to break into new accounts.Yet, if 2009 was the year that discussion around LTE reached a fever-pitch, 2010 looks to be the year in which momentum truly picks up. If we know, then, that 2010 will be an exciting one for LTE and we define the market as the networks, devices and launch supports needed to get LTE services up and running, several questions naturally follow. What do recent product and trial trends tell us about the technology’s development? What do operators in the process of planning their LTE launches need to consider in terms of LTE solutions and vendors? How do the market’s leading vendors compare at this early stage in the game?
