Study Summary

“3.5G and 4G 2010: The Move to Worldwide Mobile Broadband” juxtaposes the relative strengths and weaknesses of HSPA+, WiMAX, and LTE to create quantitative and qualitative assessments of the role each technology will play in the future. The study examines drivers for network upgrades and the technologies that will be used to improve network performance including MIMO, error correction, OFDMA, scheduling and modulation, among others. It offers detailed competitive analysis of each technology that considers technical, market and regional factors and it also delineates the deployment of these next generation technologies on a regional basis. Shipments and revenues are provided for LTE, WiMAX and HSPA+ handset/user devices, femtocells and base stations. Subscribers and femtocell users and associated service revenues are also included for each technology as are cumulative base station deployments. WCDMA and HSDPA/HSUPA subscribers are given as are total 3.5G/4G users, devices, base stations deployments and shipments and service and equipment revenues.
