LONDON, Nov. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As a natural
upgrade path for carriers from the previously detached GSM, CDMA
and TD-SCDMA ecosystems, LTE has emerged as the first truly global
mobile communications standard. Commonly marketed as the "4G"
standard, LTE promises to provide higher data rates and lower
latency at a much lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) than 3G
technologies.
The TCO and performance is further enhanced by deployment of small
cells and the LTE-Advanced standard. LTE-Advanced or simply LTE-A
is a further enhancement to LTE which improves performance and data
rates using features such as the aggregation of carriers,
interference management and advanced antenna techniques.
With over 265 fully commercial network launches, LTE adoption has
considerably gained momentum throughout the globe, and a number of
carriers have already deployed LTE-A features such as carrier
aggregation. SNS Research estimates that LTE service revenues will
account for $103 Billion in 2014.
Revenues are further expected to grow at a CAGR of 40% over the
next 6 years.
Driven by these revenue prospects, operators continue to
aggressively invest in LTE infrastructure, encompassing macrocell
base stations (eNBs), small cells and EPC/mobile core equipment.
LTE infrastructure spending is expected to account for nearly
$15 Billion by the end of 2014.
While LTE and LTE-A deployments are still underway, wireless
carriers and vendors have already embarked on R&D projects to
develop 5G standards, which offer even higher data rates than
LTE-A. SNS Research predicts that fully commercial 5G services will
be rolled out by the end of 2020.
The "LTE, LTE-Advanced & 5G Ecosystem: 2014 – 2020 –
Infrastructure, Devices, Subscriptions & Operator Revenue"
report presents an in-depth assessment of the LTE, LTE-A and
emerging 5G ecosystem including key market drivers, challenges,
operator revenue potential, infrastructure/device deployment
commitments, future roadmap, value chain, vendor market share and
strategies. The report also presents revenue and shipment market
size and forecasts for both infrastructure and devices, along with
subscription and service revenue projections for the LTE market as
a whole, as well as separate projections for the TD-LTE and LTE FDD
sub-markets from 2014 through to 2020. Historical figures are also
presented for 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
The report comes with an associated Excel datasheet suite covering
quantitative data from all numeric forecasts presented in the
report.
