The number of LTE subscribers reaches 100 million faster than any previous move standard

A new report released by Light Reading Communications Receptacle, a telecoms research institute, shows that the number of subscribers to global long-term evolution (LTE) will grow by 404% a year between 2010 and 2014. (CAGR) growth, which is faster than any previous mobile standard including 3G.

The report, "LTE's Five-year global forecast:poised to Grow Faster than 3G" (the five-year forecast for LTE, which will grow faster than 3G) confirms that LTE The main technical and commercial drivers of the platform, as well as the challenges facing it, and analyze the market opportunities for LTE, comparing its early years of commercialization with earlier mobile technology. Pyramid's 19-page report forecasts the five-year outlook for LTE, highlighting the largest LTE market and comparing LTE's adoption rate in emerging and developed markets. It also surveyed LTE-related products, demos and announcements from 6 of the world's largest manufacturers, including an analysis of how they compare their time-to-market and customer wins.

This is the first time that most major players, operators and vendors have supported the same mobile standard, pyramid study analyst and author of this report, Daniel Locke. "By using LTE's more efficient and cost-effective flat IP architecture, mobile operators can transfer cost savings to end users with lower access prices, faster data speeds, and higher transmission capacity for mobile data services," he said. "He added:" So far, 27 mobile operators around the world have publicly committed to the deployment of LTE, 12 of which are expected to launch business services in 2010, and several others will be launched from 2011 to 2012. ”

Pyramid expects LTE to win users faster than previous mobile standards. Locke explained: "Universal mobile Communication System (UMTS)/High-speed packet access (HSPA) user number reached 100 million in the last 6 years, and Pyramid forecast LTE only 4 years to achieve the same results." He said: "From 2010 to 2014, the number of LTE users around the world will increase by 404% annual composite growth rate, and reached 136 million by the end of 2014." ”

"Most of the early LTE users will come from the developed markets that most LTE pioneered, and the US and Japan will be ahead," says Locke. However, LTE will grow 30% faster in emerging markets than in developed markets; by 2014, the share of emerging market users in the overall LTE market will increase from 5% in 2010 to 43%. "With the support of Vendor time-sharing (TDD) mode, the development of emerging markets will be largely driven by the Chinese market, with the number of Chinese users reaching 36.1 million by 2014."
