This article has been taken from Informa Telecoms & Media’s Intelligence Centre, for more information please visit: http://www.informatandm.com/ic/

In order to gauge market perception regarding LTE-launch strategies andunderstand the state of European networks, Informa conducted an industrysurvey, which included high level, detailed questions dealing with theperception and reality of LTE-network deployments in Europe.

The overall sample was 442 respondents, including 112 European operators:68 mobile-only, one fixed-only and 43 with both fixed and mobile assets.When asked whether an LTE network was live or pending launch, astaggering 96.3% answered positively, with only 3.7% saying that they are notplanning to launch LTE. Regarding the mode of deployment, there was aneven split among the three primary options (see fig. 1).

Fig. 1: Primary deployment mode for LTE network, 1Q13

The majority of operators said that competitive or marketing issues were thebiggest reasons for deploying LTE. Revenue opportunities and capacityconstraints scored lower (see fig. 2). This illustrates that although operatorstalk about traffic bottlenecks and capacity problems, marketing and businessissues are driving LTE-network deployments in Europe. There are also specificmarket drivers (e.g. rural deployments in Europe), but the majority ofoperators still chose competitive differentiation as the biggest driver. Thismay change as LTE deployments mature and more than one LTE operatorenters a market.
