Technologies evolution
Mobile subscriptions by Technology and Region
2012 2018
Latin America will experience a technology shift ahead, by 2018, WCDMA/HSPA will be the dominant technology (~70%), however GSM/EDGE-only subscriptions will still have significant presence (~20%) and, LTE will reach ~10%.
Network evolution example Driven by spectrum availability
GSM HSPA LTE
Step 1: GSM & HSPA in existing bands
850 1900
700
Step 2: Introduction of HSPA Dual carrier + LTE in new band
Step 3: LTE Coverage and capacity expansion in new bands
1700 2100
2600
New spectrum bands are needed to introduce LTE today, and more spectrum will be required in the future to expand capacity and coverage
