Will 3G Networks Cope?

Telecom report: Will 3G Networks Cope?

This report addresses whether 3G networks will be able to cope with future increases to 3G traffic volumes. The report quantifies how 3G network capacity and 3G traffic will evolve within the next five years. For more information, please email us at contact@unwiredinsight.com or call us on +44 (0) 1480 819391.

The report provides usage forecasts for 2009-2014, derived from a comprehensive end-user usage model. It also quantifies network capacities for HSPA, HSPA+, LTE and LTE-Advance, for different spectrum allocations and deployment scenarios. It models complementary delivery mechanisms to 3G macrocells, including WiFi, femtocells, broadcasting networks and sideloading.

LTE Carrier Aggregation comes to fruition

In the first few months of 2013 there have been signs that LTE Carrier Aggregation (CA) is coming to fruition, with a series of announcements of demonstrations, trials and launch plans by network operators and equipment manufacturers, including: Ericsson, Qualcomm Technologies and Sierra Wireless provided the first public demonstration of LTE Carrier Aggregation at Mobile World Congress (MWC) [...]

Voice over LTE (VoLTE) faces a technology and marketing battle

The latest “Evolution to LTE Report” from the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) includes, among other things, a (very short) list of Voice over LTE (VoLTE) launches around the world. Over two years ago I expressed my concern at the lack of long term solutions for voice over LTE. While the situation is gradually becoming clearer, there is [...]

Enhanced small cells are the key to traffic boom

One of the major themes of 3GPP Release 12 (due for completion in 2014) is enhanced support for small cells in LTE. With mobile network traffic expected to increase dramatically over the coming years, the ability to reuse spectrum many times in dense usage areas will make small cells crucial. In a previous post on [...]
