LTE : Why?

ADVANTAGES OF LTE

Higher Throughput

High Data Rates are achievable in both downlink as well as uplink. Making it

more spectral efficient 3G.

Low Latency

LTE boasts low latency < 20ms (RTT).

Spectrum Flexibility

LTE can be deployed across multiple frequency bands ranging from 700MHz

to 2600MHz. Making it suitable to leverage the asset holding in spectrum.

Simplified Architecture

Reduced OPEX due to simplified architecture.

Seamless Connectivity with Incumbents

LTE offers seamless connectivity with 2G, 3G and CDMA technologies.

E2E QoS

Better End User experience is possible with LTE since it offers end to end QoS

implementation. LTE has around 9 defined QCI classes spread across GBR &

Non-GBR.

FDD & TDD

LTE has standards in both TDD as well as FDD.

Fastest Growing Ecosystem

Rapid global deployments are catapulting LTE ecosystem growth pulling

down chipset prices.
