4G Long Term Evolution
According to a new report by Juniper Research, LTE will revolutionize mobile telecommunications in the next five years, generating billions of dollars in revenue. With speeds of up to 100Mbit/s and greater network efficiency, LTE subscribers will enjoy the same broadband experience they would get from a desktop computer.
As well as laptops and mobile phones, LTE devices will include hand held gaming consoles, cameras and music players. The 4G technology will allow such devices to bridge the ‘wireless’ gap between computers and consumer electronics.
The main markets for LTE will be North America, Western Europe, China and the Far East. This will account for 90% of LTE subscriptions. Due to the evolutionary design of LTE technology, much of the existing 3G infrastructure can be reused, including cell tower locations. This reduces the initial investment for operators, offering potential savings to customers.
