Research and Markets: LTE and LTE-Advanced infrastructure a $33 billion opportunity, says 'The LTE, LTE-Advanced & 5G Ecosystem: 2015 - 2020 - Infrastructure, Devices, Operator Services, Verticals, Strategies & Forecasts'

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/j6fxct/the_lte) has announced the addition of SNS Research's new report " - Infrastructure, Devices, Operator Services, Verticals, Strategies & Forecasts" to their offering.

The LTE, LTE-Advanced & 5G Ecosystem: 2015 - 2020 report indicates that LTE (News - Alert) and LTE-Advanced infrastructure spending is expected to account for nearly $33 Billion by the end of 2020.

With over 380 fully commercial network launches, LTE has become a mainstream technology, and a number of wireless carriers have already deployed LTE-Advanced features such as carrier aggregation. SNS Research estimates that LTE service revenues will account for nearly $170 Billion in 2015. Revenues are further expected to grow at a CAGR of 30% over the next 5 years.

Driven by these revenue prospects, operators continue to aggressively invest in LTE infrastructure, encompassing macrocell base stations (eNBs), small cells and EPC/mobile core equipment. LTE infrastructure spending is expected to account for nearly $33 Billion by the end of 2020.

The "LTE, LTE-Advanced & 5G Ecosystem: 2015 - 2020 - Infrastructure, Devices, Operator Services, Verticals, Strategies & Forecasts" report presents an in-depth assessment of the LTE, LTE-Advanced and the emerging 5G ecosystem including key market drivers, challenges, enabling technologies, operator revenue potential, deployment strategies, vertial market opportunities, network rollout commitments, R&D initiatives, future roadmap, value chain, vendor assessment and market share. The report also tracks revenue and shipments for both LTE infrastructure and devices, along with subscription and service revenue from 2015 through to 2020. Besides projections for the LTE market as a whole, separate projections for the TD-LTE and LTE FDD submarkets are also presented.

Key Findings:

By 2020 nearly 60% of all LTE subscriptions will be on LTE-Advanced networks
Apple and Samsung (News - Alert) lead LTE smartphone shipments with a combined market share of over 63%
LTE infrastructure spending is expected to account for nearly $33 Billion by the end of 2020. This includes spending on LTE macrocells, small cells and EPC/mobile core solutions
Nokia and Ericsson (News - Alert) lead the LTE RAN infrastructure market with a combined market share of 43%
Driven by regional, national government, wireless carrier and vendor initiatives, we expect 5G R&D and trial investments will account for nearly $5 Billion by 2020, following a CAGR of nearly 40% over the next 5 years
Nearly 70% of these investments will target large scale commercial trial networks in Japan, South Korea and other early pioneering countries
