 Mobile Operators Expectations

Higher data rate and reduced latency for multimedia rich

Data rate
applications (competitiveness of overall customer proposition with
and latency rival technologies)

Architecture Architecture simplicity and reduced protocol complexity

Mobility Seamless handover ensuring service continuity with legacy systems

Reduced migration, capital and operational costs (CAPEX/OPEX),

Cost of ownership Investment protection by reusing existing assets

Spectrum Greater efficiency and flexibility

 Need for Network Evolution

Faster, Simpler, More Efficient, Cheaper

Highly efficient radio technology

 Increased spectrum efficiency for larger carriers and therefore increase
capacity
 Lower cost per bit and lower prices for the end user

Simplified protocol stack & all IP network

 Reduced latency
 Easier network management
 CAPEX and OPEX savings

Flexibility and scalability in deployment

 Operating in various frequencies and bandwidths
 Operators can start with smaller deployment and increase bandwidth as demand increase
 Supports resource aggregation of radio band resources

 Future Services Empowered by LTE

Both technologies can support the same services.

Main difference is service latency and throughput for the user!

• Rich Voice • Mobile TV • Communities/Blogging • High Speed Access • Banking

• Video Telephony • Video on Demand • Gaming • Email • Mobile Payment
• SMS/MMS • Music • Photo/Video Sharing • Mobile Conferencing • Mobile Advertising

Same Services. Different Experience

 How Japanese market moves towards LTE?

DoCoMo
selected LTE (2.1GHz, Band1, currently used for 3G)
NEC plans to deliver commercial product without DoCoMo
specific application at e/2008.

SBM
planning to introduce LTE on 1.5GHz
(Band11, currently used for PDC).

KDDI
under investigation between LTE or UMB
(Ultra Mobile Broadband)

 Conclusion

• End-user needs already exists/beginning to see

the onset.
• Operators needs exists
• Industry activities such as LSTI, NGMN are
already in place to assure inter-operability and
alignment of technology/standards/market
requirements/spectrum
• Many operators are planning to deploy LTE
starting 2010
