LTE Market Introduction

Connected devices reach is greater than ever and their continuing adoption is driving both business strategy and consumer behaviors. Long-term evolution (LTE) is an open 4G mobile communication standard—developed by Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)—that offers considerably better peak data rates, with the potential for 30 Mbps upstream and 100 Mbps downstream. In addition, LTE services enhance end user experience by offering superior connectivity which is anticipated to encourage more number of customers to take up these services.

Drivers and Restraints

With continuous increase in both number of connected devices and mobile Internet users, data traffic over the network has grown exponentially. Operators may need to revisit options for enhancement of network sharing techniques to cater to increasing demand for advanced connectivity solutions and services by end-users. This in turn, is encouraging operators to invest substantial amount on development of advanced connectivity solutions such as LTE, which is projected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. In addition, growing adoption of real-time communication solutions and services, increasing adoption of game consoles and video on demand services among end users are some of the major factors projected to expand LTE solutions and services subscriber base. This, in turn, is expected to boost growth of the overall LTE market globally. However, inefficient connectivity infrastructure especially in emerging markets such as India, Indonesia and Brazil etc. and compatibility issues between LTE standards and different connected devices are likely to hinder the LTE market growth to some extent.
