Market Reports

LTE Business Models
LTE business models are analysed based on a model developed by IDATE. We evaluate the cost of deploying LTE networks based on hypotheses of the various technical requirements, usage, spectrum used, its cost…

LTE: Leading Operators’ Strategies
The first commercial LTE rollout was by TeliaSonera in December 2009, somewhat earlier than expected. A number of mobile operators in the US, Japan, South Korea and Western Europe are expected to follow suit in 2010. How will these 3.9G networks fuel mobile data growth? What strategies are we seeing from main market players?

Mobile Network Saturation
Mobile data is the key revenue driver for mobile network operators in mature markets. But as data usage increases, so does network congestion, so mobile operators need to plan for an explosion in traffic from increasingly data-hungry handsets. Radio access and backhauling links can both constitute bandwidth bottlenecks. This report explores the technical and strategic solutions to mobile network congestion.

Radio Spectrum
At a time of explosive growth for mobile broadband and the progressive deployment of 4G networks starting next year, new frequency bands are being made available. Digital dividend spectrum is progressively being harmonised in Western Europe. The steady auctioning off and increasing use of 2.6 GHz band spectrum for LTE and mobile WiMAX, and the first digital dividend auctions will be the most important events affecting the radio spectrum in 2010.
