Research and Markets: LTE in Asia-Pacific: Operator Transition Strategies Study Features Three Case Studies

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e945b7/lte_in_asiapacifi) has announced the addition of the "LTE in Asia-Pacific: Operator Transition Strategies" report to their offering.

Introduction

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for the deployment of LTE across Asia-Pacific. The region's LTE first-movers - Hong Kong's CSL and Japan's NTT DoCoMo - have some commonalities in their approach to LTE: the need to reduce bit costs, increase capacity, and to remain competitive against their competitors.

Features and benefits

• Gain an understanding of CSL's total network swap out approach to LTE
• Learn why NTT DoCoMo is going straight to LTE rather than deploying HSPA+
• Gain an understanding of Telstra's plans for LTE

Highlights

The three case studies reveal that an operator's roadmap to LTE is defined by the market's competitiveness, spectrum availability and capacity, and when the operator deems it advantageous to add an LTE capacity layer to reduce per-bit costs.

Your key questions answered

• How do operators define their roadmaps to LTE?
• What are the key differences in LTE rollout strategies deployed by CSL, Telstra, and NTT DoCoMo?

Key Topics Covered:

• SUMMARY
• CSL
• The "total network swap-out" approach
• CSL has plentiful spectrum, UMTS900 and supporting regulations
• LTE1800/2600 devices expected in late 2011
• NTT DOCOMO
• DoCoMo launches LTE in December 2010
• LTE-ready base stations ease transition to 4G
• LTE1500 to launch by end of 2012
• TELSTRA
• Introducing Telstra's version of the Next G network
• 850MHz and 2100MHz bands ruled out for LTE in the short term
• LTE1800 first cab off the rank?
• Telstra 700MHz, 2.5GHz spectrum auction expected in 2012
• Still gas left in the HSPA+ tank, LTE for hotspot use
