The State of LTE
The Mobile Data EXPLOSION Key Facts: Global mobile data traffic grew 81 percent in 2013 2013 mobile data traffic ~18x the size of the entire global Internet in 2000.2000: One exabyte of traffic (1 EB = 1 Billion GB)2013: 18 exabytes of traffic.Mobile video traffic > 50 % for the first time in 2012 53% of traffic by the end of 2013. How do we deal with the influx of mobile data traffic???
4G LTE What is it? 4 th Generation Long Term Evolution De-facto worldwide 4G standard Why is the technology better?More efficient air interface; wider RF channelsFlat, all-IP based networkWhat it means to you:Higher capacityMulti-megabit speeds; 10x faster than 3GLower latency
Status of 4G LTE US Deployment History: 2010: First commercial availability 2011-2013: National build-outs 2014: Build-outs nearing completion; carriers deploying additional capacityUS: Over +300M people/97% population covered2 Flavors: Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) & Time Division Duplex (TDD)Worldwide: Deployed by 331 operators in 112 countries11 Different LTE Bands used by Big 4 carriers

4G LTE Applications
What can 4G LTE do for YOU? It’s more than just a cool feature on a Smartphone or Tablet…4G LTE can: Provide Redundancy Serve as an Alternative Access Method Deliver Video Surveillance & Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communications Improve Customer SatisfactionImprove Collaboration & Productivity
Wireless Back-Up / Business Continuity Use Cases: Locations that need an extra layer of redundancy Locations with unreliable wired connectivity Applications that need 24x7 uptime Benefits: Minimizes service interruptions and maximizes uptime Provides added piece of mind
Small Office/TEMP Office/REMOTE WORKER Use Cases: Offices with a handful of employees Locations in areas covered by wireless but not good wireline locationsTemporary office spacesBenefits:Provide instant high-bandwidth connectivityLTE devices can easily be redeployed to other locations
Disaster Recovery Use Cases: S upport short-term field activity and remote operations almost anywhere Need for instant connectivity in a disaster recovery scenarioBenefits:Enable instant connectivity and secure network access to keep workers connected Utilize a rugged, portable container designed to withstand harsh field environments and challenging conditions
Video Surveillance & M2M Use Cases: Remote areas with no/limited wired connectivity Temporary locations/job sites where mobile surveillance is needed Other things that wireless enabled: parking meters, sensors, etc. Benefits: Higher bandwidth: 4G LTE more suitable for video streaming Flexibility: Wireless provides more options for remote installations
KIOSK / DIGITAL Signage Use Cases: Agencies looking to deploy kiosks and/or digital signage Need to deploy kiosks beyond the “4 walls” of the agency Benefits: Allows more flexibility in installation Higher bandwidth allows content and management to easily be changed over the air
Connected Vehicle Use Cases: Vehicles that need to be turned into a Wi-Fi hotspot Police, public safety, mobile command centers, public transportation Use Cases: Connect multiple Wi-Fi devices in a vehicle via a single LTE connection
Guest Wi-Fi Use Cases: Enhance customers experience in waiting/common areas Don’t want “Guest” traffic over agency network Benefits: Improves customer satisfaction Keeps “Guest” traffic off your network Simple, easy to install
Unified Communications Use Cases: Agencies who want to communicate with field personnel via collaboration tools Field workers who need to use real-time video to assess, inspect, or respond to a situation Benefits: 4G LTE provides a better mobile video conferencing experience Communicate in real time with other workers/remote personnel. Utilize collaboration apps on tablets, smartphones, etc.
Mobile Workforce Productivity Use Cases: Agencies looking to deploy tablets and business applications as a mobile workforce tool Agencies looking to go paperless Benefits: Higher bandwidth & low latency make smartphones and tablet a more effective mobility tool Eliminate paperwork by digitizing forms
Things To CONSIDER Coverage Analysis / Site Surveys Equipment Selection & Placement Bandwidth Needs / Application Requirements Data Plans Performance Expectations
