Mobile Networks Embrace LTE Technology in the First Moves towards '4G'

Dec. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- According to the report “Saving mobile broadband: '4G' first movers: network and pricing strategies” available at http://www.reportbuyer.com/go/EIU04311 Long Term Evolution (LTE), has rapidly become one of the buzz mobile network technologies in the telecoms industry. Despite not meeting the exact criteria of a 'fourth-generation' ('4G') standard, as defined by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), it has been declared by operators as such.

Although the number of commercial deployments is still relatively limited, most operators around the world will look to introduce LTE over the next couple of years. For many, LTE, and the spectrum that gets licensed with it, is a way to solve the capacity problems on less efficient 3G networks, which have become overloaded with data traffic. There is also a widely held belief that new and faster LTE-enabled services will bring opportunities to boost revenues and profits.

This report analyses the plans of eight leading operators, from different regions of the world, that have already launched commercial LTE services: A1 in Austria, AT&T and Verizon Wireless in the USA, CSL in Hong Kong, Tele2 and TeliaSonera in Sweden, SK Telecom in South Korea and Telekom Deutschland in Germany. For each of those operators, this report contains a highly detailed case study, discussing the motives for and implications of launching LTE. Yhe case studies present an assessment of the regulatory and competitive environment-including details of rival operators' spectrum assets and pricing packages-and a SWOT analysis for the operator concerned.
