This report focuses on Motorola’s LTE and WiMAX strategy prior to the recently announced planned acquisition of most of its wireless infrastructure assets by Nokia Siemens Network (NSN). Motorola is repositioning itself to better target the LTE market opportunity, which is now generally believed to be much larger than that of WiMAX. From a technical point of view, Motorola is trying to leverage its strong expertise in OFDM and TDD gained through its leading position in the WiMAX business. Its absence from the UMTS market is the most significant challenge to overcome to become a leading LTE vendor worldwide.
