Mobile data traffic is expected to double yearly through 2018. Latin America will see a shift to newer technologies, with WCDMA/HSPA becoming dominant at 70% by 2018, though GSM will still be significant at 20%. Spectrum in the 700MHz band provides advantages for expanding 4G/LTE services through improved indoor coverage and capacity. The 700MHz band requires fewer cell sites than higher bands to provide coverage. Several Latin American countries have licensed or plan to license the 700MHz band to support increased 4G adoption and mobile broadband access.
