Description

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a next-generation cellular network technology, sometimes referred to as 4G. As described in this report, LTE is the technology of choice for most mobile operators, and with strong momentum, we expect it to be the long-term, next-generation network technology of choice. LTE has already overtaken WiMAX subscriptions in 2011, and the range of LTE devices has increased elevenfold in the past year. The largest LTE device segment will be PCs through 2014, as operators initially focus on mobile broadband access for PCs. But after 2014, the PC segment will be replaced by smartphones, with operators announcing more and more LTE models. The heavy emphasis on videos will drive mobile data usage for operators, as will the fact that LTE is well-suited for cloud-based computing thanks to its high bandwidth. In 2016, Pyramid Research forecasts there will be 592m LTE subscriptions, equivalent to 7.3% of all cellular subscriptions at that time.

Key findings

• LTE is gaining strong momentum and has already overtaken mobile WiMAX subscriptions during 2011. To date, 35 mobile operators have launched commercial LTE networks, a range of 197 devices have become available and the technology is maturing since the first network became live in late 2009.
• The device range is booming, having increased elevenfold between the end of 2010 and October 2011.Three out of five device models are discrete modems, either routers or PC add-on devices. Samsung has shown the strongest support for LTE devices, offering a range of different devices and providing the largest range of smartphones and tablets thus far.
• The initial focus of all operators is mobile broadband access for PCs. These subscriptions represent around 80% of all mobile data traffic, even though they account for fewer than 4% of mobile subscriptions.

LTEは2016年までに5億9200万の加入者数に達するだろう

マサチューセッツ州ケンブリッジ、2012年1月4日
LTEは大きく躍進しており、2016年までに、すべての携帯電話加入者数の7.3％の、5億9200万の加入者数に達するだろうと米国調査会社ピラミッドリサーチ社は予測している。この調査レポートは、2009年後半に最初のLTEネットワークがスタートして以来、現在までに35社の携帯電話会社がLTEネットワークの商用化を開始し、利用できるデバイスは197となり、LTE技術は成熟してきていると報告している。

調査レポート「LTEデバイスとアプリケーション：次世代のモバイルネットワークはビデオサービスによって促進」は、LTE市場、オペレータのアプローチ、LTEのバリューチェーンの概観と背景を記載している。PC付属品、ホットスポット、スマートフォン、タブレットなどのLTEデバイスについて詳述し、LTEアプリケーションに関するピラミッドリサーチ社の分析を記載している。さらに、世界の多くの携帯電話オペレータのケーススタディにも注目している。

「多くの携帯事業者がLTE技術を選択して成功しており、ピラミッドリサーチ社は次世代のネットワーク技術としても長く継続するだろうと考えている」とピラミッドリサーチ社のアナリストJan ten Sythoff氏は語る。2011年にLTEはすでにWiMaxの加入者数を上回っており、デバイス数は昨年の11倍に増加している。LTEデバイスの最大のセグメントは、2014年まではPCで、オペレータはまずはPCによるモバイルブロードバンド接続に注目している。しかし2014年以降は、オペレータがLTEモデルを続々と投入するために、PCに代わってスマートフォンが台頭するだろう。「ビデオの重要性がますます高まることで、オペレータのモバイルデータ利用が促進し、LTEは広帯域であることからクラウドコンピューティングに適合するだろう」とSythoff氏は説明する。

LTE to Reach 592 Million Subscriptions by 2016, Pyramid Finds

LTE is gaining strong momentum and is expected to reach 592 million subscriptions, equivalent to 7.3 percent of all cellular subscriptions, by 2016. To date, 35 mobile operators have launched commercial LTE networks, a range of 197 devices have become available and the technology is maturing since the first network became live in late 2009, according to a new report from Pyramid Research.

LTE Devices and Applications: Next-generation mobile networks driven by video services provides an overview and background of the LTE market, operator approaches and the LTE value chain. The report then details LTE devices, including PC add-ons, hotspots, smartphones and tablets. Next, Pyramid Research examines LTE applications. Finally, the report concludes by looking at a number of mobile operator case studies around the world.

“LTE is the technology of choice for most mobile operators, and with strong momentum, we expect it to be the long-term, next-generation network technology of choice,” says Jan ten Sythoff, Pyramid Research Analyst at Large. LTE has already overtaken WiMax subscriptions in 2011, and the range of LTE devices has increased elevenfold in the past year. The largest LTE device segment will be PCs through 2014, as operators initially focus on mobile broadband access for PCs. But after 2014, the PC segment will be replaced by smartphones, with operators announcing more and more LTE models. “The heavy emphasis on videos will drive mobile data usage for operators, as will the fact that LTE is well-suited for cloud-based computing thanks to its high bandwidth,” he explains.
