AUSTIN, TX — (Marketwire) — 01/22/13 — Much has been written and said about 2G, 3G, and 4G technologies as the wireless industry has grown in a fragmented fashion from its inception in the late 1980-s. LTE Advanced is a very different set of technologies that will be the target network platform for mobile operators and will likely also be the platform for 5G and advanced wireless cloud computing in the future.
LTE Advanced is officially defined as 3GPP Releases 10 and higher — Release 11 and 12 are expected in the next few years. Release 10 LTE was first deployed in 2012 with major network deployments expected throughout 2013 and 2014.
“LTE Advanced is compatible with prior releases of LTE equipment and is capable of supporting the sharing of frequency bands, which does not compromise early adopters of LTE technology,” said Iain Gillott, president and founder of iGR, a market research consultancy focused on the wireless and mobile industry. “We believe that the LTE landscape will change significantly with the widespread deployment of Release 10.”
iGR-s new market research report, “LTE Advanced: The Next Evolutionary Step,” provides an overview of the LTE Advanced standard and its potential impact on mobile network operators and infrastructure OEMs.
