A
report by Analysys Mason has
predicted that the Long Term Evolution (LTE) is set for worldwide deployment by
2018, DigitalSENSE Business News
can now reveal.
The
report also revealed that LTE is out of the experimental stage and is being
deployed worldwide while operators in all markets are in the process of
implementing LTE
According
to Analysys Mason’s Wireless networks tracker, the first LTE deployments
occurred in Finland and Sweden, and the world’s largest LTE network is in the
USA, but emerging Asia Pacific and African Countries (APAC) and LATAM have the
highest number of planned LTE networks which is set to challenge European and
North American operators in no distance future.
The
report sighted by DigitalSENSE
Business News showed that the adoption of the Asia–Pacific Tele-community
Band Plan (APT700) in Brazil, Chile, Columbia and Mexico, provides operators
and users in the Latin America (LATAM) region with access to the worldwide
LTE700 ecosystem, which offers a broad choice of equipment and terminals.
It
also explained that the large number of frequencies that LTE supports has
generated concern among industry players, but in practice operators often need
to support fewer than seven in order to provide a wide range of services for
their users.
DigitalSENSE Business News
learnt that the largest number of LTE network trials is in Central and Eastern
Europe (at 26), emerging APAC (24) and Western Europe (20) while trials in the
first two regions are being driven by adoption of the technology among regional
operators, such as Bharti Airtel and Reliance Infotel.
It
further gathered that infrastructure vendors such as Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia
Solutions and Networks (NSN), Samsung and ZTE are demonstrating the required
network upgrade and transition options, including LTE overlay and single-RAN
solutions
