This report provides a complete analysis of the LTE (Long Term Evolution) perspective as the next step towards 4G and real mobile broadband networks. It presents an in-depth analysis of LTE deployment strategies through the elaboration of an original cost model. This study presents roadmap scenarios and forecasts up to 2015. It also assesses the impact of LTE take-up on the overall mobile ecosystem.
Key questions - What is the cost of deploying LTE? - Which type of operator benefits the most? - What are the regulatory constraints for LTE deployment? - What are the LTE commercial deployments scheduled by Tier1 operators? - How could LTE accelerate the development of new popular solutions such as Mobile VoIP, or FMC? - Could LTE accelerate the consolidation of the mobile market?
