“A decisional handbook for Telecoms to stay Eveready, as LTE/ 4G chutes up and becomes a Universal GSM
standard; a must read for leaders within the Industry to understand its Scope, Risks and Growth opportunities”
Oscar Mine (Sr. Research Analyst)

Key Findings and Forecasts from
the Report
Key Findings from the Report

 80% of the MNOs are expected to upgrade to 4G around 2015.
 Operators currently requiring large OpEx in serving legacy networks must start
deploying LTE to reduce costs.
 LTE deployment needs significant investments in terms of network backhaul,

infrastructure, devices etc.
 Payback period of investments can go as high as 6.5; expected to happen in the

range of 4-5 years.
 Network Sharing will be essential to reduce CapEx and OpEx by 2015.
 LTE may not be the prime most choice for some Greenfield MNOs in western
and emerging markets; WiMax will offer a competitive edge to these MNOs due
to cheaper rates.
 70% of WiMAX deployments will happen in emerging markets like Africa

followed by Asia Pacific and Middle East, due to lower broadband penetration.
 MNOs, delaying decisions to deploy LTE Networks will face strong competition
from established leaders after 2013; however, CapEx for LTE deployment is
expected to drop by 7-10% (due to strong competition and vendor variety
available in the market).
”Vodafone will not need additional spectrum for LTE in some markets,
as it will be able to use existing frequencies in new ways”
Professor Michael Walker, Group R&D Director at Vodafone.

Key Forecasts from the Report

 “LTE is expected to reach 200mn subscribers by 2015”
 “Legacy Networks to stay upto 2018”
 “MNOs will face 75% less hardware, 25-30% lower cost and 10% energy saving
with LTE/ 4G Networks”
 “Bandwidth hungry apps, during the LTE era, will result in a substantial increase of
ARPU by 15-20%”
 “WiMAX subscribers will slowly and steadily increase from 5.5mn (current) to
65mn by 2015 due to delay in LTE rollouts”
 “90% of WCDMA vendors will upgrade to HSPA+ or LTE by 2H2014. Whereas,

majority of CDMA operators will opt for LTE”
 ”No. of subscribers using GSM/ GPRS/ EDGE will still be larger in size i.e. 60%
(3.2bn of 4.8bn) of global mobile subscribers”
 “SMS and International Roaming services will not happen soon during the early
years of LTE/ 4G era”.
 North America will outpace European MNOs in LTE deployments; UK seems to

delay the most”.
 “LTEs complex All-IP based networks will raise security threats for Identity
Management, Roaming Management and Security of Routing”
Key Questions Answered by the
Report
Key Questions Answered

 How much service revenue and ARPU will LTE generate for MNOs? Worldwide
review (2010-2015).
 How many LTE mobile broadband subscribers are expected each year and
where? Worldwide analysis (2010-2015).

entire market or just the hot spots?
 Who should or should not adopt LTE and why? On what scale will LTE be
adopted and by when? Worldwide MNOs forecasts (2010-2015).
 How do MNOs integrate or transition the LTE offering to their existing services
and users without adversely affecting them?
 What are the new business models for MNOs with LTE? Scope of these models
and pricing structure(s) – Worldwide review (2010-2015).
 Will LTE generate more revenue for Vendors and 3rd Parties? Opportunities for
Vendors and 3rd Parties to generate more revenues.
 Are there any low-cost alternatives proven successful and are achieving
similar satisfaction levels amongst end customers? Find out risks associated
and scope of the so called “alternatives”.
 Small operators: Should they build or lease an LTE Network? After effects in
terms of ability to customize the network topology, X2 handovers etc.
 Policy control and charging mechanisms best suited for LTE? What is the
importance of deep packet inspection and billing in LTE Networks?
 What are MNOs 2G/3G fallback plans for non coverage areas?
 Comparison with WiMax? Will WiMAX MNOs switch to LTE or 802.16m/ 802.20?
 Strategies of the top infrastructure/ handset/ chipset providers in the LTE

domain? What is the timeframe for LTE services and handsets availability?
 Will MNOs decision be influenced by industry rumors, market share or vendors’

global monopolies on introducing favorable technologies?
 What is TeleResearch Labs’ outlook on LTE adaptation worldwide in

comparison to HSPA+, WiMAX and other alternatives?
