Monday 23 April 2012, Amsterdam

A new analysis indicates that $10.84bn will be spent on global LTE infrastructure in 2012 as operators deploy LTE networks and device manufacturers offer an increasingly broad and diverse range of LTE-capable devices.

The author of the LTE Ecosystem Report 2012-2017 commented that ‘LTE has emerged as the prime candidate for 4G networks due to its advanced technological features which enable it to cope with the massive amounts of mobile data traffic on cellular networks today.’ The LTE market is forecast to record strong and continuous growth over the next decade.

The report contains 88 tables, charts and figures that add visual analysis in order to illustrate developing trends within the LTE ecosystem. The report provides forecasts for the period 2012-2017 in terms of value (US$) for the global LTE market, as well as for 3 submarkets (LTE subscribers, LTE infrastructure revenues and LTE service revenues). In addition, 10 leading national LTE subscriber markets are forecasted and analysed over the period 2012-2017. The report provides profiles of 32 leading companies operating within the market, and includes 2 interviews with companies in the LTE value chain, providing expert insight alongside the analysis.

The LTE Ecosystem Report 2012-2017 will be of value to current and future potential investors into the LTE industry, as well as companies and research centres who wish to broaden their knowledge of LTE.
