Status of the Global LTE1800 Market report

Operator commitments, network deployments, commercial launches, trials, devices ecosystem

This updated report incorporates data and analysis from GSA's Evolution to LTE report (May 10, 2013) and our latest research into the status of the LTE devices ecosystem (completed by GSA on March 27, 2013) and summarizes the LTE1800 worldwide market.

The Evolution to LTE report, which covers both FDD and TDD modes, is researched and published by the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA). The full report provides an update of the business drivers, objectives and targets for LTE - Long Term Evolution and the evolved packet system, standardized by 3GPP and now in commercial service, including network operator commitments and deployment/launch plans, trials, the growing eco-system including device and platforms availability, spectrum requirements and developments, standardization activities including LTE-Advanced, and more.

The Status of the LTE Ecosystem report, also published by GSA, summarizes the status of the ecosystem of devices for use on FDD or TDD modes of the LTE system, their form factors, operating frequencies, and the fallback technologies which are supported when customers move outside the LTE coverage areas (i.e. ability to access HSPA, HSPA+, DC-HSPA+, EV-DO, or TD-SCDMA systems)

LTE Developments Worldwide, including Interest in 1800 MHz (LTE1800)

Presentation by Alan Hadden, President, GSA
LTE Forum 2011, Warsaw, Poland - November 24, 2011

This new report from GSA – the Global mobile Suppliers Association, demonstrates the strong appeal of using 1800 MHz spectrum for mobile broadband. It shows from practical, economic and business perspectives why 1800 MHz will emerge as a prime band for LTE deployments in virtually all regions of the world, and be important for international roaming.

The report “Embracing the 1800MHz opportunity: “Driving mobile forward with LTE in the 1800MHz band” was prepared for GSA by Innovation Observatory and benefits from the insights and experiences contributed by several GSA member companies and pioneer LTE1800 network operators.

The report was sponsored by CSL Limited, Deutsche Telekom, Elisa, Qualcomm, StarHub and Telstra.

The next generation of LTE-connected devices promises a world of new mobile applications and unprecedented mobile experiences for users. Residing in the “sweet spot” of the spectrum to provide an excellent combination of capacity, coverage, cost and speed to market, the 1800 MHz band is providing an attractive option for network operators and device manufacturers alike.

This paper explores the potential to use the 1800MHz spectrum band to help meet rising demand for Mobile Broadband services. It is based on the presentations and subsequent discussion at the 1800MHz HSPA/LTE Workshop hosted by the GSMA and the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) in London in March 2011

Deploying mobile broadband in 1800MHz spectrum is part of the solution to the rapid growth of mobile broadband, which is forcing operators to add both coverage and capacity, applying a holistic spectrum strategy that covers voice-centric and mobile broadband network deployments. As the penetration of 3G-capable terminals increases, the 1800MHz spectrum used for GSM services becomes an increasingly attractive candidate for refarming to mobile broadband services based on LTE and HSPA.

The decision to launch LTE is often governed by the need to find the most cost-effective way to combine data rates, coverage and capacity. This short paper explains how LTE on the 1800 MHz band provides an added advantage in parts of the world where there are already GSM deployments in the same spectrum, and draws upon the experience of Finnish operator Elisa.
