Long-Term Evolution (LTE), the most sought after next-generation (4G) super-fast wireless communications technology is quickly gaining momentum in the Asia regions. The 4G wireless networks are aiming to cope with substantial demand for high-speed wireless data services and mobile video. Asia, especially the south and south-east part of this continent, contains the two largest emerging economies of the world, namely, China and India. Additionally, developed nations like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Philippines are also part of this subcontinent. As a result, the mobile services providers in this region often face increasing competition that forced them to upgrade their respective networks frequently.  NTT DoCoMo (DCM), the largest wireless service provides in Japan is likely to become the first carrier in Asia to deploy LTE network. DoCoMo is all set to commercially launch its LTE service from Dec 2010 and is using L.M. Ericsson’s (ERIC) LTE ...

The world's first and largest commercial 4G service has been launched by TeliaSonera and Ericsson (ERIC) in Stockholm, Sweden.   Although 3G (third generation) technologies deliver significantly higher bit rates than 2G technologies, there is still a great opportunity for wireless service providers to capitalize on the ever-increasing demand for wireless broadband and take advantage of the technology innovation that improves the economics of deploying mobile broadband networks. Consequently, there is an expanding revenue opportunity from a growing pool of consumers and business professionals who are demanding the same experience and applications that they enjoy on a fixed wire line connection over wireless -- anywhere, any content, stationary or mobile. The solution is LTE.   LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the project name of a new high performance air interface for cellular mobile communication systems. It is the last step toward the 4th generation (4G) of radio technologies ...

Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology is ahead in the race of the most sought after next-generation (4G) wireless network standard in the market. The 4G wireless networks are aiming to cope with substantial demand for high-speed wireless data services and mobile video. The growing acceptance of LTE technology has prompted the mobile handset makers to develop phones that will be compatible with this network. Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM), one of the key developers of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) based chipsets, recently introduced a new family of multi-mode chips that can support 3G HSPA and LTE technologies at the same time.   Nokia Corp. (NOK), the largest mobile phone maker of the world, is expected to launch LTE-based mobile handsets by 2011. The company has entered into an agreement with Infineon Technologies AG (IFX) to develop transceiver chips for Nokia's 4G modems that use LTE technology. ...

Spanish Telecom giant Telefonica (TEF) has unveiled the details of a large-scale field trial project related to the company’s 4G network services, which is based on the Long Term Evaluation (“LTE") mobile broadband technology.

The company will test run its 4G LTE network in six countries across Europe and Latin America. The outcome of the trials will help Telefonica to chalk out its next phase of network deployment strategy.

Telefonica will conduct 4G LTE trials during the next six months in multiple European countries such as Czech Republic, Germany, Spain and the UK, while the Latin American trials will be staged in Brazil and Argentina. The company has already conducted its first LTE trial in Madrid in April 2009, which has demonstrated encouraging throughput levels.

Telefonica has also announced network infrastructure and equipment vendors to facilitate the field testing. It has reportedly selected six technology providers: Alcatel-Lucent (ALU), Ericsson (

Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology is ahead in the race as the most sought-after next-generation (4G) wireless network standard in the market. The 4G wireless networks are aiming to cope with substantial demand for high-speed wireless data services and mobile video. LTE is an IP-based modulation standard and a set of enhancement for the existing Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). This technology has been pioneered by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), a telecom industry body comprising wireless carriers and equipment vendors who have been buying and selling the same proprietary products for years. Verizon Communication (VZ), the largest carrier in the U.S., and NTT DoCoMo (DCM), the largest carrier in Japan, are the first two companies to decide on implementing LTE–based networks by 2010. Vodafone (VOD), the largest mobile carrier globally on revenue count and AT&T (T) will implement LTE by ...

Motorola (MOT) recently announced that its Home & Network Mobility business unit was selected as a key development partner of KDDI Corp.’s next-generation LTE (Long Term Evolution) network. This is Motorola’s first public order for LTE technology. KDDI is the second-largest wireless service provider in Japan.

Motorola will implement the basic RAN (Radio Access Network) infrastructure and base stations for the KDDI’s LTE network. Although financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, we believe that the contract size may exceed $1 billion. Earlier, KDDI had estimated spending about $5.3 billion for installing a countrywide LTE network.

KDDI is expected to launch its LTE service in December 2012. The Japanese wireless market is quickly gaining maturity. KDDI faces stiff competition from wireless giant NTT DoCoMo (DCM) and Softbank Corp. NTT DoCoMo will launch its LTE service by end of 2010.

In order to remain competitive, KDDI is
