Global LTE Industry Landscape: Adoption, Applications, Deployments and Subscriptions by Region, Country, Spectrum and Operator 2011 - 2015
Mind Commerce LLC, Nov 2011, Pages: 230
While LTE adoption is moving at a much quicker pace than initial analyst expectations, a number of hurdles still exist that undermine the early adoption of LTE by many countries. Firstly the limitation of the frequency spectrum presents a major setback for many network operators, as majority of the spectrum bands suitable for LTE are yet to be fragmented in many regions. The 800 MHz 'digital dividend' band covered primarily by television broadcasters, in particular, has caused setbacks for many countries in Western Europe, a region where LTE is financially feasible.
Furthermore the requirements for initially high investments and economies of small scale production have challenged early adoptions for most developing countries in the Asia Pacific, Africa and Latin America regions. Nonetheless, LTE's distinct long term advantages such as high data rates, capacity enhancement and OPEX reduction are likely to drive large scale adoption in a majority of countries worldwide by 2015.
This report follows a structured approach to study the global LTE market. Firstly the key market drivers and barriers are discussed in comprehensive detail. This is followed by a brief overview of LTE technology. The report then discusses some key applications of the LTE standard including HD Video Streaming, Online Gaming, PTT communications, supplementary voice capacity, M2M communication and public safety applications. This is followed by a detailed analysis of LTE's feasibility, potential success, current deployments, subscriptions from a global and as well as a regional perspective, with a particular emphasis on country and operator level market share, operator strategies and regional spectrum adoption strategies.
Presented in the end are detailed subscription, market share and spectrum adoption forecasts for LTE from 2011 to 2015 on a country and operator wide basis, based on a comprehensive survey of worldwide operators and regulatory authorities. The forecasts are complimented by a review of regulatory activities, spectrum availability and strategies, and a list of current and potential LTE deployments for each country.

Report Findings:
- Spectrum adoption strategies will vary considerably on a regional basis, with LTE deployments in 12 different spectrum bands by 2015.
- The 2.6 GHz FDD and the 2.3 GHz TDD bands will remain the most widely utilized spectrum choices, with a combined market share of 33 %
- Worldwide LTE subscriptions to grow at a CAGR of 180 % from 2011 to 2015. By 2015 it is estimated that LTE will be commercially available in over 54 countries with over 410 Million subscriptions
- The overall number of LTE subscriptions is 3.7 million as of October 2011 spanning over 35 commercial network deployments. By Q4 2011, it is expected that there will be over 6.6 million LTE subscriptions worldwide.
- While North America is currently dominating and leading the market following the initial launch of major LTE rollouts with its three prominent deployments (Verizon Wireless, MetroPCS and AT&T Mobility) with a Q3'2011 market share of 90.6 %, the Asia Pacific region is likely to lead the market as it matures with a projected market share of 50 % in 2015.
