HSPA laid the foundation of Mobile Broadband success
3 Global mobile Suppliers Association www.gsacom.com
Mobile broadband began with WCDMA and its first evolution - HSPA
100% of WCDMA operators have deployed HSPA
482 commercial HSPA networks in 186 countries HSPA covers > 50% of global population (85% forecast by 2017) achieved in 7 years since 1st commercial network launch
1.075 billion WCDMA incl. HSPA subs: Q3 2012
~ 4,000 HSPA user devices launched 285 suppliers

Most operators include mobile broadband in their service portfolio Mobile broadband is driving traffic, revenue and profit growth in markets throughout the world
Source of subscriptions data: Informa Telecoms & Media
HSPA+ is mainstream

Approx 40% of all phones sold in Q3 2012 were smartphones, and the growth of smartphone data traffic is expected to exceed the overall average
Mobile data traffic doubled between Q3 2011 and Q3 2012, and is expected to grow 12x between 2012 -2018, driven mainly by video
Online video is the biggest contributor to mobile traffic volumes, constituting 25 percent of total smartphone traffic and 40 percent of total tablet traffic
Total mobile subscriptions are expected to reach 6.6 billion in 2012 and 9.3 billion in 2018
There were an additional 13 million LTE subscriptions in Q3 2012, and numbers are predicted to reach 1.6 billion by 2018
November 2012 www.ericsson.com
Mobile broadband subscriptions have grown by around 55% YoY and now reached > 1.4 billion
LTE is now growing strongly, with 13 million new subs added in Q3 2012. GSM/EDGE added c. 20 million and WCDMA/HSPA c. 65 million
Drivers for LTE deployment
7 Global mobile Suppliers Association www.gsacom.com

The primary drive towards LTE comes from the need for network capacity, performance management and efficiency
Opportunities for new products/services
Opportunities for revenue growth
LTE could be a tool to charge more for mobile data much faster uplink lower latency some new video-based services might only be possible using LTE
“LTE is currently being deployed and built-out in all regions and will reach around 1.6 billion subscriptions in 2018”
“By mid-2012, LTE was estimated to cover 455 million people globally and by 2017 it is expected to cover around 50% of the world’s population”
