There have been a number of recent announcement of LTE launches in 2011: At the end of April 2011, TeliaSonera launched a commercial LTE service in Lithuania. Canadian mobile network operator, Rogers Communications has confirmed plans to launch an LTE network in 2011. South Korean operator, SK Telecom plans to launch 4G LTE services in… Read more
In his wireless blog, Alastair Brydon reviews early examples of LTE pricing, in Denmark, Germany and Sweden. Now that a number of European LTE services have been launched, I’ve reviewed the early pricing models being adopted in three countries. The table below shows the current LTE pricing charged by Telia (Denmark), Telia (Sweden) and Vodafone… Read more
In his wireless blog, Mark Heath reports on early measurements of one of the first real LTE networks. With the first LTE networks now being deployed, we will, over the coming months, begin to get a better view of realistic performance levels, based on live measurements. However, since all LTE networks will be under-utilised to… Read more
Mark Heath looks forward to 2011 and the continued progress of LTE and femtocells. He comments on the launch of 4G services by NTT DoCoMo and AT&T, and discusses SK Telecom’s deployment of femtocells, specifically to solve congestion issues. As 2011 starts, I would like to wish all our readers a great New Year! This… Read more
In this post, Mark Heath, recognises the 4G leadership of TeliaSonera, which has just launched LTE services in Denmark. His analysis shows the importance of early deployment of LTE in the Nordic countries to support rapid increases in mobile broadband penetrations. I would like to congratulate Nordic mobile network operator TeliaSonera for being one of… Read more
TeliaSonera has reported on the usage of its mobile customers. Average usage per month is as follows: 375MB for its smartphone users (which is similar to usage levels reported by AT&T (338MB) and Verizon Wireless (421MB) 5GB for its mobile broadband customers (which is less than the 7GB average reported by Clearwire for its WiMAX… Read more
Alastair Brydon of Unwired Insight discusses the implications of his analysis of mobile broadband penetration growth across Europe. As I review our model of the evolving mobile service mix, to help gauge mobile network investment requirements, it is striking that a relatively small number of factors are dominant in driving traffic growth. One of these… Read more
In his wireless blog, Mark Heath of Unwired Insight discusses the latest LTE speeds reported by mobile network operators. Am I the only one that gets frustrated by all the hype surrounding LTE speeds and LTE performance? Many in the industry are seeing LTE as the means of avoiding the looming 3G capacity crisis, as… Read more
While some industry observers pointed to the underutilisation of 3G networks following their launch as a sign that 3G networks were not needed, there have been many developments that have kick-started the take-up and usage of 3G services, which include the: launch of mobile broadband services (using USB modems and datacards), at affordable prices launch… Read more
LTE will be a major enhancement to 3G networks. It utilises a completely new modulation (for a 3G system) – OFDM – which has been widely adopted for WLAN (IEEE 802.11a/b/g), WiMAX, DVB digital terrestrial TV and DAB digital radio. While LTE can support narrower bandwidths than HSPA/HSPA+ (supporting bandwidths as low as 1.5MHz), it… Read more
