Will 3G Networks Cope?
Unwired Insight Limited, Sep 2009, Pages: 120
Will 3G Networks Cope? 3G Traffic and Capacity Forecasts, 2009–2014
Since 2007, 3G networks worldwide have experienced substantial traffic growth, due to strong take-up of mobile broadband services and the initial migration of 2/2.5G users to 3G services. Operators have reported annual increases in 3G data traffic volumes of 300-700%.
While 3G traffic volume increases have been manageable so far because volumes have increased from very low levels, we forecast further large traffic volume increases, due to rapid migration of 2/2.5G users to 3G services, increasing proportions of smartphones and USB modems/ datacards and the introduction of HSPA+ and LTE.
For some 3G operators, today’s HSPA networks will not support 3G traffic volumes for long, and they have big decisions to make.
This report addresses one of the biggest concerns within the mobile industry, as to whether 3G networks will be able to cope with future 3G traffic volumes increases. The report gets to grips with this critical issue by quantifying how 3G network capacity and 3G traffic will evolve within the next five years.
Will 3G Networks Cope- answers your key questions:
- How will the service mix on a range of 3G devices (basic phones, smartphones and USB modems/datacards) evolve over the next five years?
- By how much will 3G traffic volumes increase in the next five years?
- What capacities will HSPA, HSPA+ and LTE networks realistically provide?
- Will 3G network capacity keep up with traffic volume increases?When will HSPA networks run out of capacity?
- When will HSPA+ and LTE be necessary, and what spectrum will be required?
- What are the implications for different types of 3G operator?
WHY YOU NEED THIS REPORT:
- The risks are huge. 3G volumes are increasing dramatically and HSPA networks may not be able to support these increases for long.
- This report is unique in bringing together forecasts for 3G traffic volumes and network capacities.
- The report identifies the technologies 3G operators should invest in, and when.
- It quantifies how much spectrum will be required, and when.
- The report defines the best strategy for different types of 3G operator.
WHAT YOU GET:
- 120 pages, 35 figures, 24 tables and 30000 words.
- Usage forecasts for 2009— 2014 derived from a comprehensive usage model.
- Quantification of network capacities for HSPA, HSPA+, LTE and LTE-Advance, for different spectrum allocations and deployment scenarios.
- Modelling of complementary delivery mechanisms to 3G macrocells, includingWLAN access points, femtocells, broadcasting networks and sideloading.
- Evaluation of different types of 3G operator.
The report provides usage forecasts for 2009-2014, derived from a comprehensive end-user usage model. It also quantifies network capacities for HSPA, HSPA+, LTE and LTE-Advance, for different spectrum allocations and deployment scenarios. It models complementary delivery mechanisms to 3G macrocells, including WLAN access points, femtocells, broadcasting networks and sideloading.
