• APPS requires network resources, despite network will:

• Data consumption;

• Signaling consumption;

• And also require battery charges…..

•Main mobile operations system characteristics: Updates mechanisms, battery

consumption protection, hardware requirements, security issues.

•Understanding embedded technology like NFC.

•Validate SIM Card Application and integration possibilities

•RF and technologies combination: a large number of possibilities:

• Need of large scale of usage, in order to reduce cost/unit

TBR REQUIREMENTS:: MOBILE IS STRONGLY PUSHING OPERATORS

1. Flexibility in capacity upgrades;

2. Multi-standard and multi-frequency solutions

required (SDR), also for Small and Femto

solutions;

3. RF equipment has to support multi-carrier and

different standards simultaneously ;

4. LTE fully compliant with HETNET, taking

advantage also of non licensed spectrum (WiFi)

5. Reduced power consumption;

6. Full support of Self Organized Network (SON);

7. Full reuse of 2G/3G sites;

8. Support different backhaul strategies.

9. VoLTE complementing data offering.

10. RAN Sharing as an alternative….

Investments:

• Need to increase 3G capacity and build

good LTE coverage;

• Mobile world transforming to an IP world;

• Backhaul investments to cope with Mobile

Broadband capacity requirements.

Financials:

•Voice margins under pressure and inflation pressure;

•Data not expected to compensate in short term;

•Low EBITDA margins;

•High competitiveness in mobile market.

Regulation:

•Frequency auctions bound to new coverage;

•Competition Increase;

•Regulator now encouraging and facilitating sharing.

OUR ROADMAP:: OMINIPRESENT NETWORK

As data service coverage goes towards low density regions, it is imperative to take advantage of

a good mix of spectrum and technologies.

CONCLUSION&OUTLOOK

MOBILE BROADBAND will touch several requirements of building

a leading Mobile Data business.

HET-NET and SON will have prominent role of existing and

forthcoming network.

No more extensive coverage obligation: the challenge now is

improving quality and managing demand growth

RAN SHARING and spectrum sharing as a manner of levering a

“sustainable” 4G NETWORK.
