Implication: Mobile Data Traffic Is Exploding..

Ren Obermann, CEO of Deutsche Telekom AG: iPhone is driving up average wireless data usage as much as 30 times higher than on other phones In last year's third quarter call, Verizon (VZ) execs said data revenues grew 63% year-over-year, and accounted for almost 20% of the carrier's overall service revenue.

Nokia Siemens Networks sees greater volumes of data than voice in several European HSPDA networks. In some networks, data accounts for 80% of the traffic volume.

But Voice and SMS: Still the leading Mobile Applications today

The Voice over LTE Problem

LTE Objectives Maximize return on LTE investment
Lower cost structure for all mobile services Migrate mainstream voice subscribers to LTE

Problem Voice (and SMS) was not built-in to LTE

Telephony is an overlay (IMS, VoLGA, ) Work still required to match existing voice services Need a low-cost, low-risk approach for bringing Voice to LTE deployments Heavy investment in todays Voice Infrastructure Retain Current Functionality, Charging mechanisms and supplementary services
PSTN is the largest comms network ever created >4 billion active mobile connections at end-2008; >6 billion by 2014 By 2014, 77% of revenue globally is voice & SMS (vs. 86% in 2009)

IMS Telephony outside planning timeline

Economic Reality

Operator Reality

Solution Bring primary revenue services to LTE

Counter over-the-top VoIP competition

Operators Need Investment Protection

No Industry Consensus on Future of Voice Solution

Every Voice option has different merits Most operators agree that IMS is the end goal Market timing in reaching that goal differs from region to region and operator to operator Operators will need flexibility for voice solutions GENBAND has solutions for ALL VoLTE options
