- 4. Mobile broadband market and outlook
The new Internet is mobile
Widespread market acceptance of dongles, HSPA-enabled PCs, notebooks/notebooks and
rapidly growing smartphone segment have pushed data consumption to unprecedented levels
Most network operators have a “mobile broadband” offer in their service portfolio
Data traffic has passed voice traffic on many networks
Handheld devices dominate: smartphones gaining significant share
Mobile network operators consistently report growth in traffic on their networks, revenue
(from data/mobile broadband) and profit growth
Politicians increasingly focusing on benefits to society from broadband – including mobile
Finland made access to broadband a legal right (from July 1, 2010) for every citizen
Wireless connectivity is extending into new applications and environments
The outlook is for continuing strong data growth; video will be a major component

- 14. Spectrum for LTE deployments
An operator may introduce LTE in ‘new’ bands where it is easier to deploy 10 MHz or 20 MHz carriers for
maximum benefits of using LTE
2.6 GHz band (IMT Extension band)
Digital Dividend spectrum 700, 800 MHz
or in re-farmed existing mobile bands e.g. 450, 850, 900, 1700, AWS, 1800, 1900, 2100 MHz
Eventually LTE may be deployed in all of these bands – and others later
2.6 GHz (for capacity) and DD 700/800 MHz (wider coverage, improved in-building) is a good combination
LTE offers a choice of carrier bandwidths: 1.4 MHz to 20 MHz; the widest bandwidth will be needed for
the highest speeds

- 16. The LTE market includes TDD as well as FDD
LTE TDD is positioned as the next evolution of the TD-SCDMA family and a natural progression
From 3GPP standards perspective: commonality with FDD
From vendor perspective: increasing use of software defined radio techniques
From operator perspective: spectrum availability, flexible base stations
LTE TDD trials now
Timescales established for prototype, dual-mode and multimode devices
In-service estimated as 2010-2011
LTE TDD is being showcased by many leading players at the
World Expo, Shanghai and vicinities from May 2010
Clearwire (USA) has requested 3GPP to standardize LTE TDD for operation in 2496 – 2690 MHz
and on August 4, 2010 announced plans for technology trials to test both LTE TDD and LTE FDD
Softbank Mobile (Japan) is reported to be considering LTE TDD in 2.5 GHz spectrum it owns

- 17. LTE TDD is maturing towards commercialization
LTE TDD is being showcased by China Mobile and leading industry partners at the World Expo 2010, Shanghai .The
large-scale trial network covers the whole 5.28 square-km site, outdoors and in 9 pavilions and 2 demonstration
centers. Several products supporting the trial network are launched or planned including WWAN cards, routers and
dongles. Key milestones achieved in the trial include:
Demonstration of LTE TDD HD video telephone in single 20 MHz spectrum with peak DL speeds of up to 80 Mbps
Demonstration of VOD, video communication, and other high-speed mobile broadband apps
Demonstration of 24-channel video streaming
Mobile HD video conferencing between the trial network and another location
Inter-Operability Test of multiple LTE TDD USB dongles in a single mobile network cell
China Mobile will deploy further trial LTE TDD networks in 3 major cities beginning Q3 2010. The deployment in
each city will be > 100 base stations. In addition, smaller trial networks will be deployed in Beijing and Shanghai
China Mobile is also partnering with foreign operators to establish trial LTE TDD networks overseas, e.g.Taiwan
India is a key market for LTE TDD following the BWA spectrum auction. Qualcomm through its JV with local
partners is committed to LTE TDD and anticipates commercial service from 2011. Some other BWA spectrum
winners are finalizing their technology choice, so more winners may also choose LTE TDD.
