LTE-network will appear in Russia in 3-5 years

Analitki of the company J'son & Partners Consulting presented to the public extracts of the first study of its emerging market LTE. So, according to J'son & Partners Consulting most similar to the deployment of LTE networks of companies such as Verizon Wireless, TeliaSonera, NTT DoCoMo and KDDI. They chose the suppliers have a frequency resource, or receive it as soon as possible, and announced plans to launch its LTE network in commercial operation in 2010.

The first LTE-chipsets and mobile devices, prototypes were presented at various international exhibitions, but the only company Ericsson officially announced the readiness of the commercial product - LTE-platform M700.

With regard to the prospects of LTE-networks in Russia, there are enough gray. At present, Russia is not determined by the working band of radio frequencies, licensing, and interconnectivity, there is no strategy for the transition to networks LTE. In other words, there are no prerequisites for the rapid (within the next 1-2 years) the deployment of networks of LTE. According to the forecasts of J'son & Partners Consulting commercial LTE network will appear in Russia not earlier than 3-5 years (2012-2014) years. Prior to that time in the country will develop projects vercii mobile WiMAX, which has a temporary advantage over LTE, networks and 3G, including HSPA +.
