The start

It started with the Telegraph

“We call the electric telegraph the most perfect

invention of modern times … as anything more

perfect than this is scarcely conceivable, and we

really begin to wonder what will be left for the next

generation, upon which to expand the restless

energies of the human mind.”

– an Australian newspaper 1853

LTE terminology


LTE maturity process


What is different about LTE


LTE Network


Typical Enablers for Next Generation Services Common, access-independent Internet applications will replace silos

for mobile applications and residential applications

Web2.0 applications empower users to participate in communities, and will generate content and interact in virtual worlds and increase the requirement to greater uplink capabilities

Streaming services that deliver individual video content on demand and mobile TV on demand are emerging as a favoured application

Mobile, interactive remote gaming and real-time gaming will undoubtedly become a major industry in its own right

The quadruple play of voice, data, video and mobility bundles for residential and mobile use is heating up the battle over fixed-mobile substitution in the consumer market

Mobile office comprising smart phones, notebooks, ubiquitous broadband access and advanced security solutions will free business users from their office desk.

Conclusions

GSM/UMTS overwhelming global position

Subs, dev, services and reliability

HSPA

User experience of DR in access of 1Mbps

Clear roadmap to LTE/LTE-A

LTE has become the technology platform of choice as GSM-

UMTS and CDMA/EV-DO operators are making strategic

Cellular offer economic advantage over wireline

WiMAX will be limited in no. of subs in the next 5-10 years

LTE technology will flatten the net arch and make deployment

easier

VoIP will reduce infrastructure cost


Conclusions - Iraq

Very low penetration, however excellent growth

rate

Low coverage

Very basic services

Require good technology migration roadmap

Frustrating end-user experience

More transparency from operators required

Iraq at the bottom of any cellular statistics
