In Italy, there is no obligation on the first 800 MHz block, but each owner of other 5 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 supposed to have been switched off, and need to cover 30 per cent of a specified list of towns of less than 3000 inhabitants three yrs later (by the end of 2015), seventy five % five years later (by the end of 2017), and 100 % seven years later (by the end of 2019). The hybrid 1800/2600 MHz approach drives a brand new evolution: 1800 MHz is becoming a robust LTE ecosystem Instead of waiting for the 800 MHz spectrum to become available, numerous operators have begun to deploy 2600 MHz or 1800 MHz in cities. As 1800 MHz has better out of doors and inside coverage propagation parameters, operators with 10 or twenty 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 through refarming strategies. Examples of mobile operators pursuing an LTE tactic on 1800 MHz includeYoigo in Spain,Telstra as first operator to present 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 supply LTE services national, 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 fact much faster than UMTS did a decade ago. At that time, operators invested into UMTS assuming it'd push buyer requirement for better connectivity, but requirement initially remained low. In contrast, today mobile operators require to deploy the LTE spectrum in order to cope with the already existing quick growth in requirement for mobile data. This, additionally to operators’ and suppliers’ require to show that LTE can become a much required growth area, has led to important pressure on all market gamers to ensure that LTE will be adopted more fast than UMTS. Still, the buzz around LTE has included numerous myths discussing that there will be a slow deployment of LTE. Our truth check indicates that these myths do not hold true. Myth #1: LTE will not give sufficient interior coverage for data services Reality: Indoor coverage on 800 MHz has proven to be strong, and 1800 MHz may also give sensible coverage in urban and suburban areas. Femto-/Pico- and Microcells also can resolve inside coverage concerns nMyth #2: There'll be a deficiency of LTE gadgets, as was the case in the early days of UMTS Fact: LTE devices are already available and the premium compared to handsets without Amazzara is shrinking rapidly as a result of intense competition among smartphone gadget vendors such Apple, Nokia, Samsung, Huawei and HTC. A selection of LTE- compatible smartphones, dongles, tablets and modems were already presented at the International Consumer 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 buyer side Fact: UMTS tariffs were more expensive than GSM tariffs for several years. We expect that the cost premium for LTE vs. UMTS-only data tariffs will rapidly decline, fostering LTE uptake. In Sweden, as an example , LTE data tariffs were already substantially revised downwards Myth #4: LTE is just suitable for mobile, not fixed, broadband services Truth: LTE is additionally used to offer fixed broadband services using stationary LTE modems as promoted by Vodafone Germany, for example Myth #5: LTE just isn't 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 first effective test of VoIP over LTE to WCDMA handover. Voice over LTE, in particular IMS-based, is now strongly pushed by the industry. Extra solutions will be available in the near future. 3 LTE Spectrum and Network Techniques The 5 hurdles often put forward as likely to slow LTE uptake are therefore being overcome by infrastructure and device providers, also as by operators. Using network innovations: Enabling better capacity and coverage on 1800 and 2600 MHz bands Suppliers and their network innovations are the enablers of intelligent network solutions for the useful utilize of >1 GHz bands for LTE, making up to a specific extent for the coverage limitations 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 such as an underlay network to a macro-cell network, possibly in another spectrum band - leading to hybrid macro/micro-cell networks with enhanced interior coverage Femtocells also are an option to raise 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 used as a capacity overflow buffer and/or for apps using massive downlink, yet no or limited uplink capacity Network cooperation could be a game changer as diminished Opex & Capex can cause a competitive advantage
