The total data traffic volume in 2015 will be more than 30 times
that of 2010. Operators will need to make capital investments to
increase capacity in order to meet this demand (Analysys Mason)

Charts and maps are available at www.gsacom.com/news/statistics.php4 Up to 22 commercial LTE network launches
anticipated by end 2010 - GSA
Source of data: GSA Information Paper “Evolution to LTE” – August 26, 2010
An operator may introduce LTE in ‘new’ bands where it is easier to deploy 10 MHz or 20 MHz
carriers for maximum benefits of using LTE
Eventually LTE may be deployed in all of these bands – and others later
2.6 GHz (for capacity) and DD 700/800 MHz (wider coverage, improved in-building) is a
good combination
LTE offers a choice of carrier bandwidths: 1.4 MHz to 20 MHz; the widest bandwidth will be
needed for the highest speeds
LTE FDD
LTE FDD will most likely in future be deployed in LTE TDD
existing cellular bands too, including:
Early TDD Spectrum for LTE (LTE TDD)
850 MHz
900 MHz IMT Extension Center Gap 2570–2620 MHz
AWS (1700/2100 MHz) 2.3 TDD i.e. 2300–2400 MHz Future TDD possibility
1800 MHz = 3.6 GHz
1900 MHz
2100 MHz Future possibilities:
450 – 470 MHz
3.6 GHz
Telenor and Netcom have been granted licences and 2.6 GHz spectrum
TeliaSonera announced LTE commercial service launch in Oslo on December 15, 2009
Teliasonera, Elisa and DNA have been granted licences for 2.6 GHz spectrum and are building
LTE networks in Finland. DNA obtained 40 MHz of 2.6 GHz spectrum
TeliaSonera Sweden is deploying LTE using nationwide 2x20 MHz 2.6 GHz spectrum and
announced commercial service launch in Stockholm on December 15, 2009
MVNO and cable operator Telenet is trialing LTE in Mechelen, ahead of the 2.6 GHz auction
expected in September 2010. Mobistar is also testing LTE.
In Hong Kong, 2x15 MHz blocks of 2.6 GHz FDD spectrum have been auctioned, and won by
China Mobile, Genius Brand and CSL Limited
The Malaysian regulator MCMC plans to auction 3 blocks of 2.6 GHz spectrum for LTE in 2011,
and is also consulting on re-farming 850/900/1800 spectrum for 3G services
Several auctions of 2.6 GHz spectrum are scheduled or planned throughout European
markets during 2010 - 2011

“While the majority of LTE deployments today are using the FDD mode, the report
confirms significant operator interest in the TDD mode. LTE FDD and LTE TDD
are complementary technologies and standardized by 3GPP. A number of key
technology milestones have been demonstrated in recent weeks which confirm
how the LTE TDD system is maturing towards commercialization. The recently
concluded BWA spectrum auction in India has paved the way for early and large
scale introduction of TDD LTE into the world’s fastest developing market”
LTE TDD is positioned as the next evolution of theTD-SCDMA family and a natural progression
LTE TDD is being showcased by China Mobile and leading industry partners at the World Expo 2010, Shanghai. The
large-scale trial network covers the whole 5.28 square-km site, outdoors and in 9 pavilions and 2 demonstration
centers. Several products supporting the trial network are launched or planned including WWAN cards, routers and
dongles. Key milestones achieved in the trial include:
Demonstration of LTE TDD HD video telephone in single 20 MHz spectrum with peak DL speeds of up to 80 Mbps
Demonstration of VOD, video communication, and other high-speed mobile broadband apps
Demonstration of 24-channel video streaming
Mobile HD video conferencing between the trial network and another location
Inter-Operability Test of multiple LTE TDD USB dongles in a single mobile network cell
China Mobile will establish 3 further trial LTE TDD networks in Qingdao, Xiamen and Zhuhai - beginning Q3 2010.
China Mobile is also partnering with foreign operators to establish trial LTE TDD networks overseas, including Taiwan.
India is a key market for LTE TDD following the BWA spectrum auction. Qualcomm through its JV with local partners is
committed to LTE TDD and anticipates commercial service from 2011. Some other BWA spectrum winners are finalizing
their technology choice, so more winners may also choose LTE TDD.
LTE is the natural migration choice for GSM/HSPA operators. LTE is also the next generation mobile
broadband system of choice of leading CDMA operators, who will be in the forefront of service introduction
As a result of collaboration between 3GPP, 3GPP2 and IEEE there is a roadmap for CDMA operators to
evolve to LTE
The key spectrum bands for new LTE spectrum are 2.6 GHz and digital dividend bands (700, 800 MHz)
Re-farmed 1800 MHz spectrum enables LTE1800 to provide 2 times coverage compared to LTE2600
The LTE TDD mode is a real complement to LTE FDD and the perfect choice for providing high speed
mobile broadband access through unpaired radio spectrum.
LTE TDD provides a future-proof evolutionary path for TD-SCDMA
With LTE we have one single global standard, securing and driving even higher economies of scale and
importantly, simplifying roaming
