Categories of LTE Carriers

• “Aggressive Roll-out” Carriers

– US: Verizon Wireless, Sprint (early spectrumallocation & a dwindling legacy CDMA eco-system)and AT&T (3G capacity relief)

– Japan: NTT DOCOMO (traditional first-to-market)

– South Korea: SK Telecom

• “Slow Roll-out” Carriers

– Wants to be “first” but not the “biggest”

– No aggressive marketing push

VoLTE in US market introduced in 2012, paced by:

Network deployments

Key features e.g. E911, OTDOA, etc. not supported by platform vendors until 2H11

VoIP clients and QoS

Results of VoLTE trials starting early 2011

SVLTE requires dual standby radio smartphones e.g. simultaneous voice on CDMA and data on LTE

LTE-A Announcements OPERATORS

• NTT DoCoMo is undertaking field experiments of LTE-Advanced in real radio environments in the cities ofYokosuka and Sagamihara. NTT DoCoMo has confirmed the performance of LTE-Advanced technologiesusing simulators in its R & D center, achieving transmission data rates of approximately 1 Gbps on thedownlink and 200 Mbps on the uplink.

• The Korea Communications Commission and the Korean Ministry of Knowledge Economy held ademonstration of an LTE-Advanced system, which featured 'evolved Multimedia Broadcast and MulticastService' indoors and an in-vehicle demonstration outdoors demonstrating 3D full HD broadcasting and HDvideo calling.

• SK Telecom plans to launch an LTE Advanced network in 2013.

• Other operators who have announced plans to deploy LTE-A in a similar timeframe include AT&T Mobility,Clearwire, Dish Network, and Sprint.

• Ericsson and Nokia Siemens will install LTE Release 10-capable equipment at 37,000 cell sites across T-Mobile's HSPA+ network footprint. T-Mobile plans to use the new AWS spectrum for its LTE deployment in2013.

VENDORS

• Ericsson demonstrated a working version of LTE-Advanced to the Swedish Post and Telecom Agency inJune 2011. Downlink speeds more than 10 x faster than today‟s LTE deployments were shown. 60MHz ofaggregated spectrum was used, compared to 20 MHz maximum possible with the current LTE standard.Also 8x8 MIMO was used on the downlink.

• Nokia Siemens Networks demonstrated LTE-Advanced at CommunicAsia 2011 in Singapore.
