J'son & Partners Consulting: International and national roaming in LTE networks in Russia and the world
Company J'son & Partners Consulting presented the main results of the study "International and national roaming in LTE networks in Russia and the world, where it is noted that, to date, the number of subscribers who do not use data roaming abroad, remains much larger number of subscribers who do not use voice roaming. The increase in the number of active subscribers using roaming data - the basis for the growth of revenues. LTE-network on the one hand, increased data traffic, and on the other - entails additional complexity for operators.
As of December 2013 the Russian operators have introduced LTE LTE-service intranet roaming and selected suppliers (IPX-providers), international roaming launched LTE-MTS (bilateral agreement with Korean operator). Projected J'son & Partners Consulting, the first multilateral roaming agreements with foreign operators LTE-be signed no earlier than the 2nd half of 2014-2015.
Most of the users (70%) off data roaming in tourist and business travel mainly because of fears get "shock" bill for telecommunications services. In this case, the highest demand for services in roaming expected in the segment of mobile data. This trend is one of the drivers introduction roaming with LTE, which are actively being developed worldwide.
In 2014 is expected to increase the number of roaming agreements in networks LTE, as operators look for ways to increase consumer traffic in roaming. Operators are still experimenting with LTE-billing for roaming subscribers, as well as the choice of model pricing will affect bandwidth consumption.
In general, the introduction of roaming services in LTE networks will allow operators to maintain high margins, increase ARPU and reduce churn high-subscribers. It is possible that one of the main solutions to the problem of roaming in the LTE-networks will be the creation of heterogeneous networks to 4G, including solutions for "small cell".
