Roadmap for Deployment
Interest in LTE is growing. LTE is now widely
being considered as the technology of choice for 4G networks worldwide.
According to the Global Mobile Suppliers Associations, at least 26
operators have already committed to LTE as of March, 2009. Although LTE
is a promising technology, operators will be facing new challenges and
requirements associated with the upgrade. There are also a number of
burning questions and issues to address: How is the standardization
process and early trials of LTE coming along? What happens after
operators make the big leap? Will there be enough new wireless broadband
applications, devices and users to drive revenue for operators? Where
will the best bets be for growth and business opportunities in the 4G
world? How many of China's 700 million mobile users are ready for 4G?
