Expertly Engineered for Tomorrow, Available Today• Industry analysts predict that mobile data traffic

will grow globally at a CAGR over 100 percent through 2013, with forecasts for 2013 ranging from 341 to 1600 petabytes per month.

• Global mobile data traffic has increased by 160 percent over the past year to 90 petabytes per month, or the equivalent of 23 million DVDs.

The two major drivers of this exceptional growth in data traffic are the abundant availability of video content and Internet ready devices that have as much processing powers as PCs had four years ago. Video now commonly being encoded in high definition is expected to account for 66 percent of all mobile data traffic by 2014. This represents a tremendous opportunity for network operators who move quickly to take advantage of this huge new revenue chain. However, the simultaneous challenge will be to re-examine networks and identify the bottlenecks and limitations for growth.

3GPP, the body that created GSM, EDGE, UMTS and HSPA, has identified that today’s networks cannot meet these demands and has established LTE as a true global standard based on OFDM, flat all IP architecture and wide band spectrum. 3GPP2, the body behind CDMA technology, has also adopted LTE as its next generation standard, promising for the first time a truly global standard for all operators. LTE presents a solution for network operators to

evolve their business model and gain a significant competitive advantage by offering higher data throughput, lower latency, plug and play, and an improved end-user experience. LTE delivers lower cost per bit and higher capacity than other next generation technology options. This is why LTE is Motorola’s #1 strategic investment.

New Opportunities Require New CapabilitiesMany operators are contemplating a move to LTE, but recognize that deploying and managing multiple networks as well as new standards such as OFDM and all IP networks presents new challenges compared to traditional 3G wireless networks. Motorola having been late in 3G has spent its resources and time gaining tremendous experience with nationwide commercial mobile broadband networks of this nature. The vast experience our professionals have gained from our WiMAX leadership informs everything we do, from our product platforms and software code to our tools and processes for network services. Motorola is well positioned to help maximize your future business results, leveraging our extensive experience in:

• Designing and deploying wireless broadband networks to meet your services promise and cost goals, both initially and as the business grows as was achieved with Wateen, a greenfield operator in a low ARPU market, who signed up 1 million subscribers in its first year.

Motorola LTE SolutionA comprehensive solution to your next generation telecommunication challenges.

• Delivering its fourth generation of OFDM products that can automatically balance coverage and capacity performance in a dynamic RF environment while maximizing the effectiveness of cell site reuse, as currently being tested with KDDI in Japan

• Developing network elements configured with our leading SON solution that are self-configuring, auto-optimizing, and self-diagnosing, so human activity can be focused on network design and growth

• Operating and managing commercial OFDM networks to deliver to strict service level agreements, as currently being offered to Mena Telecom and Zain Saudi, thereby mitigating the risk normally associated with launching a new 4G network

LTE Ensures Subscriber Capacity Not Just at the Center of the Cell, but Across the Entire Cell

Interim technology upgrades like HSPA+ can deliver peak performance improvements that are adequate in the short term, but not all users will experience any benefits. Even in the best case scenario where the throughput doubles across half the cell radius, two-thirds of the cell area sees no improvement. As a result, only the users closest to the tower receive higher data rates. The illustration on the left compares the aggregate data rates that can be achieved across the total cell area for HSPA+ and LTE. In an LTE sector, all users in the cell receive throughput improvement. This significant capacity improvement means the operator can deliver a combination of more users per cell and a improved user experience for each subscriber. In addition, LTE ultra-low latency and idle to active time mean the user will find the service much more responsive.

LTE capacity improvements can be linked to inherent benefit of OFDM and a more efficient air interface that leverages better interference management, frequency selective scheduling gain, better multi-path signal handling, lower control overhead, and greater HARQ leverage to extend coverage. The combination of these capabilities and LTE’s cost reduction benefits is making it the logical next step for more and more operators.

The WBC 700 Gateway series of products is designed to meet the needs of large, high demand multimedia networks and can be deployed now in existing 3.5G networks as your first step in migrating to LTE.

Peak data rates are often used to compare the performance of different wireless technologies, but this comparison is only one measurement. Peak data rates are the physical limits that can be achieved in a controlled environment, excluding overhead. Wireless networks are impacted by the surrounding environment, including buildings, trees, interference and multi-path. As a result, the real-world data rate can be very different than the theoretical peak data rate obtained in a test lab.

The most appropriate measurement that defines the typical user experience, and more important, network capacity, is average sector throughput. Average sector throughput more accurately represents the bandwidth delivered to customers. The chart above illustrates the differences between the average sector throughput that HSPA, HSPA+ and LTE provide based on different channel

bandwidths and antenna configurations. It also illustrates the significant number of options that operators who choose LTE have to meet their coverage and capacity needs.

Many network operators already need this throughput, while for others the requirement is rapidly approaching. Operators will have different spectrum options and deployment configurations. In all cases, LTE delivers the most robust throughput to customers. LTE technical enhancements implemented by Motorola include:

• Multiple antenna techniques to increase overall data rate

• Frequency selective scheduling for additional flexibility and efficiency

• Better multi-path signal handling capability than CDMA technologies

• No intra-cell interference, as the sub-carriers are for a single user in a time slot

• Enhanced interference cancellation better for reduced inter-cell interference

• Mitigation of cell shrinkage vs. loading phenomena of CDMA-based technologies

• Per session, per flow, per user QoS system capabilities

• Lower and more efficient control overhead
