A 30-fold increase in data traffic in the next five years is driving the move to LTE
Just one of the findings from RTT’s new study LTE User Equipment, network efficiency and value
The future of the mobile broadband industry is very much in the balance. On the basis of present traffic growth trends, mobile broadband data traffic will have increased from a present level of three exabytes to 90 exabytes by 2015 .An exabyte is equivalent to one million terabytes.
Over the same period revenue is projected to grow by a factor of 3.The projected efficiency savings from new technology such as LTE are insufficient to bridge this gap. New solutions to this dilemma are therefore required in order to enable the sustainable growth of the mobile broadband industry.
This study identifies crucial links between user equipment performance and network economics and argues the case for year-on-year improvements to be made to UE performance over and above the minimum conformance requirements. A business model is presented which shows that a small increase in UE cost has a positive return when measured across the mobile broadband ecosystem.

New RF Design Programme
UHF BROADBAND AND MULTIBAND
RF DESIGN
A two day programme for engineers and team leaders involved in
UHF broadband
multi band multi standard cellular transceiver
and integrated UHF (TV)
receiver design.
The programme is also relevant to policy makers needing
to understand
how the RF performance of user devices
including
smart phones,
lap tops and net books and network devices
including
cellular base stations and TV broadcast transmitters
will determine
future spectral value.
