HSPA and LTE technologies to dominate mobile telecom services by 2012, says Ericsson CTO
By 2012, HSPA (high speed packet access)- and LTE (long term evolution)-enabled technologies will account for 80% of mobile broadband services, while WiMAX related services will account for only 4%, Hakan Eriksson, Ericsson's senior vice president and CTO, has projected at a conference in Qingdao, China.
More than 1,000 HSPA-enabled CPE (customer premise equipment) products have been introduced into the market, while commercial LTE operations are expected to start in early 2010, and will proliferate through to 2012, Eriksson stated.
Service operators that currently offer their mobile telecom services via WCDMA, CDMA 2000, TD-SCDMA and WiMAX, are all expected to migrate to LTE-enabled services in the future, making LTE the mainstream mobile technology, Eriksson asserted.
In addition to WCDMA operators who will naturally adopt LTE technology, CDMA service operators Verizon Wireless, KDDI, and China Telecom, and TD-SCDMA operator China Mobile as well as WiMAX service operator Clearwire have also decided to develop LTE technology, Eriksson added.
Ericsson has signed the world's first LE commercial contract with TeliaSonera, and is also cooperating closely with a number of service operators such as Verizon and NTT DoCoMo on the development of LTE technology, Eriksson indicated.
With WiMAX and LTE technologies compatible in some areas, Taiwan-based WiMAX equipment makers should accelerate their development of LTE-enabled products, leveraging their WiMAX expertise, Eriksson urged.
