Wireless Technologies Overview
WiFi – Unlicensed short range radio
Main usage as a cable replacement by consumers and
enterprises
Don’t expect contineous coverage with WiFi Expensive and very hard to manage
End-user bit rate
1 Gbit/s
WiMAX – Licensed radio
100 Mbit/s
OFDM based radio in TDD and/or FDD bands
In higher frequecies than currenty used allocations
10 Mbit/s
Due to higher frequencies WiMAX will be more
expensive than HSPA for same coverage

WCDMA Market Outlook
Nov 2006
• 123 WCDMA operators in commercial service in 55
countries
• 407 WCDMA terminals launched in the market
• 70 operators deploying combined WCDMA-EDGE networks;
46 launched
• Over 80 million WCDMA subscribers
• 130 HSDPA network deployments in 60 countries; 74
launched
• 81 HSDPA Devices launched, 22 suppliers

Issues in Brazil
 Anatel issues public consultation for new 3G spectrum:
i) 10 MHz in 1.9 Ghz band previously assigned to fixed
WLL; mobile operators reject proposal
ii) 40 MHz in 1.8 GHz band
 VIVO (largest operator of the region with 25 million CDMA
users) announces deployment of a GSM overlay for the end
of 2006
 LNP being promoted by regulator for 2007
 Court suspended temporarily WiMax bidding in 3.5 GHz
and 10.5 GHz due to conflicts establishing the minimum bid
 Growing interest in UMTS/WCDMA in 850 MHz
9
Latin America Concerns/Issues
 3G spectrum: “In-band” versus new frequency bands
(1700/2100 MHz, 1900/2100 MHz)
 Low ARPUs (US $ 13 average) pressures operators to
look for economies of scale and reduce costs
 Due to a high prepaid penetration (80%), users always
expect a high subsidy in handsets
 Voice still the “killer app”; operators trying to launch VAS to
postpaid users first
 Regulators involved in many issues: Fixed-Mobile
Convergence, Triple Play, WiMax, LNP, Interconnection
fees, Quality Service plans

EDGE Evolution requirements
Extend throughput further out in cell
–

Increase peak bit rate > 1Mbps
–

To improve service experience when moving between 2G and 3G
Reduce latency (back to back pings)
–
–

Increased coverage for a given bitrate, e.g. 128 kbps Mobile-TV at cell
border
Latency today: ~150 ms
Goal: Reduce e2e latency
to 50-100 ms
Reduce access time (first ping)

 PSTN telephony line
 FAX line
 Internet Access, up to 384kbit/s
 Wi-Fi access point
delivered to the home or office over WCDMA
1000 voice minutes 20 € / month
5 GB Internet access 17 € / month
Note:
in-door CPE makes capacity and cost similar as for ”mobile” case
