LTE in Year-End 2012 - The End Result

LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the winner of Mobile Broadband. To Learn more about LTE, take one of our LTE Training Courses

LTE and HSPA+Global Statistics Year-End 2012

•6.4 billion total cellular connections
•5.8 billion 3GPP subscriptions (90 percent market share)  (3GPP includes GSM, EDGE, HSPA, HSPA+ plus LTE)
•More than 1.2 billion HSPA-LTE mobile broadband subscriptions
•506 commercial HSPA networks in 188 countries
•291 HSPA+ networks in 123 countries
•68.3 million LTE subscriptions; up from 45.1 million LTE subscriptions at the end of 3Q 2012
•151 commercial LTE networks in 67 countries

So in 2014 there will be LTE-only phones in most of markets and expect device subsidies to decrease in the next few years.

Long Term Evolution Training Courses

LTE, Long Term Evolution, What is it?

Long Term Evolution - LTE

Learn all the Concepts behind Long Term Evolution (LTE) and EPC. LTE (Long Term Evolution) delivers true mobile broadband for the masses with a superior user experience. LTE provides improved performance, lower total cost of ownership and enables a new era of personalized services. TONEX “LTE” (3GPP Long Term Evolution) covers the technical details of the next-generation network beyond 3G.

LTE, Long Term Evolution or the E-UTRAN (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Access Network) is the access part of the Evolved Packet System (EPS). The main requirements for the new access network are high spectral efficiency, high peak data rates, short round trip time and frequency flexibility.

TONEX LTE training 4-day course is a unique crash course, bootcamp style that covers all aspects of LTE.

Topics Included: Motivation behind LTE, major key features, system requirements, network architecture, network engineering, RF planning, security, coverage, performance, required enhancements in HSPA/HSPA+ and migration strategies for LTE deployment.

 

LTE-Advanced Training Course

LTE-Advanced Training Course by TONEX: The true 4G based on ITU's  IMT-Advanced

TONEX Advanced-LTE training 2-day course is a unique crash course, bootcamp style that covers all aspects of  Advanced-LTE

Topics Included: Motivation behind LTE-advanced, major new key features such as as carrier aggregation, enhanced advanced antenna techniques for the DL/ UL, relay repeaters, and coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission and reception, requirements, network architecture, security, coverage, performance, required enhancements in LTE and migration strategies for LTE-Advanced deployment.

 


LTE–Advanced provides higher bitrates in a cost efficient way and, at the same time, completely fulfill the requirements set by ITU for IMT Advanced, also referred to as 4G.
4G LTE or LTE-Advanced was specified initially in Release 10 of the 3GPP standard in 2010.

LTE-Advanced supports wider frequency bandwidths (40MHz or more). Carrier aggregation was introduced in Release 10 to allow combining multiple pipelines together to create a larger single pipeline (provide backward compatibility with LTE ) . This is very similar to 802.11n and 802.11ac/ad or concept of channel bonding for wireline broadband networks.
