The State of the LTE Market: CAPEX, Deployments, Subscribers, and Services
The State of the LTE Market takes an exacting look at the LTE ecosystem. The report first estimates global LTE spending by year and by region for the years 2009–2014. Second, leveraging LTE announcements made by the 3GPP, In-Stat reviews the telecommunications environment of every country that has a mobile operator and that made an announcement committing to LTE airlinks in the future.
Understanding telecommunications in each nation is important. Before a mobile operator deploys LTE services, there are several steps that must be taken. The mobile operator must acquire spectrum (providing a national regulator has made spectrum available). Operators that have made recent HSPA investments will likely leverage those investments. After exploring these factors, the report presents: -LTE subscribers by country. The subscriber counts are further broken out by TD-LTE of FDD-LTE subscribers. -Along the lines of subscribers, In-Stat looks at LTE POPs. In Stat has also developed a tool called multiple POPs, where we anticipate areas where multiple vendors will be offering LTE services. -LTE handset and LTE backhaul capacity is forecast by region. -For the United States and Canada, LTE FDD subscribers, TD-LTE subscribers, LTE POPs, and LTE multiple POPs are forecast segmented by the mobile operators that have committed to LTE.
Mobile Hotspots: Heating Up and Driving Mobile Data Growth
Mobile hotspots, devices that connect to a mobile data network like HSPA and bridge the signal using Wi-Fi, have had remarkable growth these past two years. Although Novatel's MiFi hotspots have gained the most attention in this area, there are actually many companies making these devices, and mobile hotspot functionality is starting to appear in cellphones and automobiles.
This report looks at what is driving adoption of these devices, covers the different types of devices available, looks at pricing and service plans, and profiles some of the manufacturers. Mobile hotspot equipment manufacturers profiled in this report include: Cisco/Linksys, CradlePoint, Huawei, Netgear, Novatel, Option Wireless, and Sierra Wireless.
In addition to company profiles, this report includes forecasts for standalone mobile hotspots, automotive mobile hotspots, and mobile phones with mobile hotspot functionality, in addition to device revenues and service revenues for each hotspot class. Also included is a listing of many mobile hotspots available along with a sampling of mobile hotspot service plans offered by operators.

Global WiMAX Subscribers, Base Stations, and Revenues
As 2010 progresses, several market variables warrant predictions that WiMAX will take off, but there are gating factors as well. In WiMAX’s nascent stages, there were dramatic price reductions in the cost of WiMAX chipsets. Infrastructure equipment has been built to smaller form factors and base stations have been designed to use less energy. The largest WiMAX operators Clearwire, Yota, and UQ Communications offer unlimited data plans at reasonable monthly rates.
Unfortunately, several events have collectively stalled the momentum. The global recession remains a factor, and there has been little investment in new WiMAX deployments. India put off their 4G spectrum auctions until May 2010, and other global regulators have been slow to free up spectrum. Nokia Siemens and Cisco have announced their plans to abandon developing in the WiMAX space. Even successful carriers like Clearwire and Yota have expressed interest in using LTE in future deployments.
On the bright side, in early 2010, there was significant development in WiMAX devices. Personal mobile hotspots are now the rage. In the summer of 2010, Sprint is offering a HTC smartphone that will use a 3G carrier for voice services and WiMAX for data and Internet access.
In the report, In-Stat discusses the WiMAX ecosystem, provides forecasts of WiMAX subscribers and revenues. Base station shipments and revenues to BTS equipment manufacturers are forecast as well, by region and through 2014.

The challenges in LTE silicon are many, and many of the complications in LTE deployment are revealed in the benefits. As LTE platforms are expected to support many different airlinks, so too will the end-use devices. Mobile phones will be expected to seamlessly transition from 3G networks to the LTE platform and vice-versa.
This report starts with an overview of LTE chipset architecture and the LTE ecosystem. The report then reviews the LTE chipset vendors including Altair Semiconductor, BitWave Semiconductor, ComSys Mobile, Qualcomm, and Samsung. Then, by defining the protocols, understanding the LTE ecosystem, and reviewing what we know about the LTE chipset manufacturers at this moment, we can anticipate which devices will enter the market. The last section of the report reviews the integration of LTE chipsets into mobile handsets.
The report includes market estimates and forecasts of LTE USB dongles and external clients, total portable devices, handset regional shipments, silicon BOM, and silicon revenue. Also included are the estimates for LTE MAC software and IP royalties.
The Road to LTE Worldwide: Is WiMAX Really the Enemy?
The biggest impediment to LTE growth is the success of 3G and HSPA and HSPA+ networks. Mobile operators will leverage their existing infrastructures for as long as they possibly can.
The competing technology WiMAX can either be seen as a detriment to LTE growth or a driver of LTE growth. While WiMAX appears successful, it is apparent that LTE will emerge as the wireless broadband standard of the future. LTE benefits from WiMAX because many companies can repurpose their WiMAX intellectual property to compete in the LTE market.
The report takes an in-depth look at LTE and competing technologies on the road to the roll-outs of LTE. It begins by examining the move from 3G UMTS to LTE-Advanced and the relative growth drivers and inhibitors of the transition including usage patterns, net neutrality, spectrum and radio issues, backhaul, devices, and other important factors. It then addresses WiMAX and the effect that WiMAX has on LTE. Finally, it provides the LTE subscriber forecast and forecast for portable devices, mobile handsets, residential devices, and M2M devices with LTE.
The WiMAX chipset market continues to gain steady momentum. Mobile WiMAX has all but displaced fixed WiMAX in new deployment. Actual WiMAX networks, planned networks, and networks in development increase monthly. New devices drive the market as USB dongles and mobile PCs with embedded are available today, with WiMAX-enabled cellular handsets just around the corner.
WiMAX chipset technology has already moved beyond multiple chips, each with one specific function, i.e., a baseband processor chip and a separate RFIC, to a market where integrated single-chip solutions and modules are the vendor and manufacturer preference. A small group of semiconductor manufacturers have emerged as the WiMAX chipset leaders, changing the market landscape with innovative single-chip solutions.
