Flat All IP Architecture for Cost Reduction and Performance• Reduce CAPEX and OPEX Costs

• Higher Network Performance– Efficient IP routing - reduce Latency (20 ms e2e RTD)

– Increasing Throughput (Peak @ 100/50Mbps DL/UL)

– Fast state transition time (enhanced Always-on) – Less than 50ms transition from dormant to active

What is LTE?

Peak Performance DL• OFDM/OFDMA in the DL

– Spectral Efficiency (2-5x Rel’6)

– Resistant to multi-path interference

• MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) Antennas

– Doubles the throughput

– Deployment simplicity

Power Efficient UL• SC-FDMA – Lower PAR

– Longer mobile battery life

– Larger cell coverage

• Collaborative (Multi-user or Virtual) MIMO

– Simplifies mobile implementation

– 80% capacity gain in uplink

Scalable and Compatible with 3G Access Networks• Scalable spectrum allocation (1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20MHz) – great for in-band deployment

• Mobility with 3GPP & Non-3GPP access – smooth network migration to LTE and beyond

• Global roaming with other 3GPP networks – capture roaming revenue opportunity

New RF access based on OFDM-MIMO and flatIP architecture - 3GPP Rel 8 specification

Verizon Selects LTE As 4G WirelessBroadband Direction, Nov 2007

“We expect LTE to form a key part ofVodafone’s future technology strategy”,Steve Pusey, Vodafone Global CTO.

The company’s move toward a 4Gnetwork is driven by our vision ofpervasive wireless Internet connectivityand mobility,.......we believe LTE is thebest technology with global scale to deliveron the promise.” Dick Lynch, CTO VerizonComms.

GSM Association votes to support LTE, Nov 2007

Rob Conway, CEO of GSMA, announced the association's backing of LTEduring a speech at the GSM Association's Mobile Asia Congress in Macau,China, and called on the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), theleading United Nations agency for communication technologies, to ensurethe industry wins the spectrum needed to offer mobile broadband.

GSMA said it will work with other companies and organizations developingLTE technology, and start working with the NGMN (Next Generation MobileNetworks) initiative.

Blueprint for a future wide areamobile broadband network

• Open initiative driven by vendors and operators• Objective

– Promote LTE/SAE as NGMN technology• NGMN and 3GPP requirements taken as input to LSTI

– Promote industrialization of LTE/SAE– Stimulate development of LTE/SAE ecosystem

• Status– Proof of Concept phase ongoing first results available– Interoperability Testing and Field Trial milestones

established for early commercialization

Summary

• LTE will be ready for Commercial deploymentin late 2009

• Many vendors will enable operator transitionto LTE in a progressive, scalable, and costeffective way – protecting investments inexisting technologies

• LTE will allow operators to deploy competitive,revenue generating applications costeffectively to all subscribers

• Many vendors are focused on IMT-Advanced(4G) deployment options for seamless inter-and intra-technology mobility and real-timeapplications for converging network value

BUSINESS MADE SIMPLE.
