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 was already awarded last year in the US, and is progressively being harmonised in Western Europe. In the meantime, the refarming of the 900 MHz band creates an opportunity for mobile broadband to be made available in rural areas.

Key questions

DIGITAL DIVIDEND

• What is the current status of the digital dividend?
• Is harmonisation going to be achieved in Western Europe for the 800 MHz band?
• What advantages does it bring to mobile operators?
• Which role will it play in 4G development?

900 MHz BAND REFARMING

• Why is refarming of the 900 MHz band important for 3G and 4G developments?
• How can it facilitate coverage of rural areas?
• What is the status of 900 MHz band refarming in the world?

4G SPECTRUM

• Which frequency bands are used today by mobile networks?
• Which frequency bands are going to be used for 4G networks?
• What spectrum requirements will the growth of mobile broadband create?
• What new spectrum will be available in the coming years?
• What will be the price of the new frequency bands?

LTE: a Compelling Answer? Roadmap and Forecasts up to 2015

This report provides a complete analysis of the LTE (Long Term Evolution) perspective as the next step towards 4G and real mobile broadband networks. It presents an in-depth analysis of LTE deployment strategies through the elaboration of an original cost model. This study presents roadmap scenarios and forecasts up to 2015. It also assesses the impact of LTE take-up on the overall mobile ecosystem.

Key questions

• What is the cost of deploying LTE?
• Which type of operator benefits the most?
• What are the regulatory constraints for LTE deployment?
• What are the LTE commercial deployments scheduled by Tier1 operators?
• How could LTE accelerate the development of new popular solutions such as Mobile VoIP, or FMC?
• Could LTE accelerate the consolidation of the mobile market?
