NEW YORK, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

The Road to LTE Worldwide: Is WiMAX Really the Enemy?

Abstract

The biggest impediment to LTE growth is the success of 3G and HSPA and HSPA+ networks. Mobile operators will leverage their existing infrastructures for as long as they possibly can.

The competing technology WiMAX can either be seen as a detriment to LTE growth or a driver of LTE growth. While WiMAX appears successful, it is apparent that LTE will emerge as the wireless broadband standard of the future. LTE benefits from WiMAX because many companies can repurpose their WiMAX intellectual property to compete in the LTE market.

The report takes an in-depth look at LTE and competing technologies on the road to the roll-outs of LTE. It begins by examining the move from 3G UMTS to LTE-Advanced and the relative growth drivers and inhibitors of the transition including usage patterns, net neutrality, spectrum and radio issues, backhaul, devices, and other important factors. It then addresses WiMAX and the effect that WiMAX has on LTE. Finally, it provides the LTE subscriber forecast and forecast for portable devices, mobile handsets, residential devices, and M2M devices with LTE.
