- 4. ITU’s new 4G definition ITU has determined that “LTE-Advanced” and “WirelessMAN-Advanced” should be, IMT-Advanced and is considered as “4G”, LTE and WiMax, and to other evolved 3G technologies a substantial level of improvement in performance and capabilities with respect to the initial third generation systems now deployed.
- 5. 3G vs. 4G 3G (including 2.5G) 4G Major Requirement Driving Predominantly voice driven - Converged data and voice over IP Architecture data was always add on Network Architecture Wide area cell-based Hybrid - Integration of Wireless LAN (WiFi, Bluetooth) and wide area Speeds 384 Kbps to 2 Mbps 20 to 100 Mbps in mobile mode Frequency Band Dependent on country or Higher frequency bands (2-8 GHz) continent (1800-2400 MHz) Bandwidth 5-20 MHz 100 MHz (or more) Switching Design Basis Circuit and Packet All digital with packetized voice Access Technologies W-CDMA, 1xRTT, Edge OFDM and MC-CDMA (Multi Carrier CDMA) Component Design Optimized antenna design, multi-band adapters Smarter multi-band adapters Antennas, software multiband and wideband radios IP A number of air link protocols, All IP (IP6.0) including IP 5.0 From : www.mobileinfo.com
- 7. 4G Investment – Example #1 Initiative expands wireless coverage to 98% of Americans, reduces deficit by nearly $10 billion, invests in nationwide public safety network Freeing up 500 MHz of spectrum for everything from smartphones to wireless broadband connectivity for laptops to new forms of machine-to-machine communication within a decade
- 8. 4G Investment – Example #2 TeliaSonera 800 MHz band valid for 25 years, cost for licence is 97,000,000 EUR for frequency blocks of 2x10 MHz in the 800 MHz frequency band.
- 9. 4G Investment – Example #3 Yota - Russia 710-860 MHz €1.49 billion MegaFon, MTS, Vimpelcom would share the network on an MVNO basis.
- 10. 4G investments implications Regulator’s reforming and obligations Digital dividends vs military spectrum Network share with MVNOs Technology implementation path Pricing options
