The Opinion about LTE in the Industry

(Research Companies)
LTE is the edge tool of FMC, and LTE will act as the leader of the mobile communication, keep the competitive ability of UMTS in the next 10 years.

Nearly 300,000 LTE Base Transceiver Stations will be installed by 2014, according to a study from ABI Research in Jul 2007.

Network operators will invest a total of almost $18 billion in LTE capital infrastructure over the period to 2014.

The Opinion about LTE in the Industry

(Operators)
Promoter and Steady supporter of LTE

AT&T says its next-generation roadmap leads to LTE, though it's evaluating the use of WiMAX technology for backhaul. But they havent excluded the possibility of WiMAX technology at this point. Jun 2007

NTT DoCoMo Announced to start LTE test since Jul 2007, which plan to release commercial network in 2009, and hope LTE can smoothly evolve to 4G in 2011~2012

Most GSM operators believe GSM->WCDMA/HSPA-> LTE is the right choice. But some operators such as Sprint NextelClearwire and Sistema (Russia) still hope to deploy WiMAX for the mobile broadband solution

LTE/SAE Technology Life Cycle

LTE (Long Term Evolution), a 3GPP concept, defines a long-term evolution for radio

access technology.
SAE (System Architecture Evolution), a 3GPP concept, defines a long-term evolution for core network. LTE and SAE have been approached independently, however by enhancing each

other, they are no more separable today.

For those operators with heavy UMTS investment, LTE can be deployed as a complement at hot spots for higher capacity and better user experience. For those operators with less or no UMTS investment; who prefer LTE, LTE can be deployed at wide area together with UMTS network.
