In Italy, there's no obligation on the 1st 800 MHz block, but each owner of other five blocks has to fulfill rural coverage obligations. Those operators need to start deploying networks from the beginning of 2013, by when analog terrestrial TV is expected to have been switched off, and need to cover 30 percent of a specified list of towns of less than 3000 inhabitants 3 years later (by the end of 2015), 75 per cent 5 yrs later (by the end of 2017), and 100 percent 7 years later (by the end of 2019). The hybrid 1800/2600 MHz approach drives a new evolution: 1800 MHz is becoming a strong LTE ecosystem Rather than waiting for the 800 MHz spectrum to become available, many operators have begun to deploy 2600 MHz or 1800 MHz in cities. As 1800 MHz has better outdoor and indoor coverage propagation parameters, operators with ten or 20 MHz of free 1800 MHz spectrum are deploying LTE 1800 MHz networks. LTE 1800 MHz deployments are becoming a key trend. World-wide over 20 operators have committed to deploy LTE on 1800 MHz, either on newly acquired spectrum or on spectrum freed using refarming techniques. Examples of mobile operators pursuing an LTE tactic on 1800 MHz includeYoigo in Spain,Telstra as first operator to provide LTE services in Australia, e-plus in Germany and H3G in Italy. Polkomtel in Poland is using the 1800 MHz spectrum of smaller sister mobile operators, Aero2 and Mobyland, to offer LTE services countrywide, well previous to the other mobile operators, which need to await for LTE auctions to be held early in 2013. LTE will have an impact much faster than UMTS - myths of LTE skeptics are being refuted LTE is becoming a market reality much faster than UMTS did a decade ago. At that time, operators invested into UMTS assuming it would push customer need for better connectivity, yet requirement initially remained low. In contrast, currently mobile operators require to deploy the LTE spectrum so as to cope with the already existing quick growth in demand for mobile data. This, furthermore to operators’ and suppliers’ need to demonstrate that LTE can become a much needed growth area, has led to significant pressure on all market gamers to be sure that LTE will be adopted more rapidly than UMTS. Still, the buzz around LTE has included a number of myths quarrelling that there will be a slow deployment of LTE. Our truth check indicates that all of these myths don't hold true. Myth #1: LTE will not give adequate indoor coverage for data services Truth: Interior coverage on 800 MHz has proven to be strong, and 1800 MHz can also present reasonable coverage in urban and suburban areas. Femto-/Pico- and Microcells can also resolve inside coverage concerns nMyth #2: There'll be a deficiency of LTE gadgets, as was the case in the early days of UMTS Truth: LTE gadgets are already available and the premium compared to handsets without Antonio Mazzara is shrinking speedily because of intense competition among smart phone device vendors such Apple, Nokia, Samsung, Huawei and HTC. A variety of LTE- compatible smartphones, dongles, tablets and modems were already presented at the International Buyer Electronics Show (CES) 2012 and at the Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona Myth #3: LTE tariffs will be very expensive, limiting uptake on the user side Fact: UMTS tariffs were more expensive than GSM tariffs for lots of yrs. We expect that the price premium for LTE vs. UMTS-only data tariffs will speedily decline, fostering LTE uptake. In Sweden, by way of example , LTE data tariffs were already substantially revised downwards Myth #4: LTE is just suitable for mobile, not fixed, broadband services Fact: LTE is likewise used to present fixed broadband services via stationary LTE modems as promoted by Vodafone Germany, as an example Myth #5: LTE is not suited for mobile voice Reality: Solutions enabling voice for LTE are in the making. Yoigo plans to introduce VoIP for LTE in Spain this year. Qualcomm and Ericsson announced the 1st effective test of VoIP over LTE to WCDMA handover. Voice over LTE, in specific IMS-based, is now strongly pushed by the industry. Additional solutions will be available rapidly . 3 LTE Spectrum and Network Methods The five hurdles often put forward as likely to slow LTE uptake are hence being overcome by infrastructure and device suppliers, as well as by operators. Making use of network innovations: Enabling better capacity and coverage on 1800 and 2600 MHz bands Suppliers and their network innovations are the enablers of smart network solutions for the effective utilize of >1 GHz bands for LTE, making up to a particular extent for the coverage restrictions of such bands compared to 800 MHz spectrum: Macro-cells are intended for all LTE bands (800, 1800, 2600 FDD andTDD) Micro and Picocells can be deployed like an underlay network to a macro-cell network, possibly in another spectrum band - leading to hybrid macro/micro-cell networks with enhanced indoor coverage Femtocells are an option to improve LTE indoor coverage and can help to substitute fixed broadband with mobile broadband TDD is now back on the agenda of mobile operators deploying 2600 MHz networks in a hybrid FDD/TDD approach - TDD spec- trum is needed as a capacity overflow buffer and/or for apps using massive downlink, yet no or limited uplink capacity Network co-operation may be a game changer as lessened Opex & Capex can cause a competitive advantage
