LTE in Unlicensed Spectrum and Shared Spectrum This report is available for GSA Members and Associates to download. An Executive Summary report is available for all registered web users. The use of unlicensed spectrum for delivery of LTE services is developing steadily. GSA has identified 13 network deployments/launches concerning the various unlicensed spectrum approaches (LAA, LTE-U, LWA or LWIP) by 11 operators. A total of 42 operators around the world are known to have been investing in one or more of the technologies in the form of trials, pilots, deployments and launches. Most recent focus… -

Evolution of LTE to 5G: Market Status February 2020. Updated 13 February Figure 6 legend missing green band 43 Introduction LTE is a global success, with nearly 5 billion subscriptions and connecting over 55% of mobile users worldwide and it is the fastest developing mobile system technology ever. LTE is specified by 3GPP as a single global standard for paired and unpaired spectrum users. The vast majority of the standard is the same for FDD and TDD. LTE has evolved through various 3GPP technology releases covering the introduction of LTE-Advanced and then LTE-Advanced Pro that… -

Read morePrivate LTE & 5G Networks Report: February 2020
Private LTE & 5G Networks Report: February 2020 The deployment of private mobile networks has emerged as an important market. In fact so important that the market could – according to Arthur D Little – be worth as much as €60–70 billion by 2025. This implies rapidly growing adoption among the 14–15 million potential sites for private LTE networks identified by Nokia last year in an interview with EnterpriseIotInsights. The demand for private LTE (and increasingly, 5G) networks has been driven by the spiralling data requirements of modern business and government entities. Organisations of all… -
