best choice of almost all operators of GSM is LTE technology
SHANGHAI - Technology of Long Term Evolution (LTE) will be the choice of almost all operators of GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) in the world to increase its network capacity to support high-speed data services (broadband).
However, implementation depends on the readiness of each operator. "This year there are more than 25 percent of GSM operators around the world to implement LTE. Next year there are more than 35 percent. And another two years more than 80 percent," said Hao Guang Ming, VP of Product Line of Huawei, Tuesday (19 / 7 / 2011).
According to survey data reported by Informa in the presentation, most operators will migrate to LTE 2012 and almost all are going to use in 2016. According to him, the need to increase network capacity is a major factor why the GSM operators choose LTE.
With data transfer speeds up to 100 Mbps, LTE is the 4G technology will boost network capacity to serve access to data services is much better than 3G, EDGE, and GPRS. It is certainly not out of the development of the technology that is built from the beginning of the GSM technology.
He said Huawei currently has been awarded contracts with 40 operators in various countries to supply LTE network. A total of 10 commercial operators have been installed and while the 100 is already doing a network test.
There are at least three things that he thought an obstacle why the operators are still delaying the implementation of LTE. First, keterbetasan frequency spectrum as experienced operators in Indonesia.
The absence of the regulation setting the frequency spectrum for LTE services make the operator can not move forward. Two other barriers are planning the deployment of the unfinished and binsis model to be selected.
