LTE Forum 2009

3G Long Term Evolution (LTE) describes the evolution of mobile technology that will deliver users the benefits of faster data speeds and new services by creating a new radio access technology that's optimized for IP-based traffic and offers operators a simple upgrade path from 3G networks. Alongside LTE is work on the evolutionary development of the core architecture of mobile networks, called system architecture evolution (SAE).

Together, they will offer operators networks with significant performance enhancements over 3G, with a target of two to four times the spectral efficiency of 3G/HSPA networks. This means LTE networks will be able to squeeze more bits of data into the same amount of spectrum as 3G and HSPA networks, translating into increased data speeds and/or increased capacity.

LTE will ensure the competitiveness of 3G for the next 10 years and beyond, and provide a high-data-rate, low-latency packet-optimized system.

LTE will be used for mobile, fixed and portable wireless broadband access, and will offer a number of benefits to operators, aimed at increasing capacity, reducing network complexity and thus lowering deployment and operational costs. It will enable operators to meet the growing demand for mobile data solutions, making it possible for richer services to be delivered to consumers more cost effectively.

About the Event

The LTE Forum 2009 will help operators to identify the evolutionary steps to 3G LTE (Long Term Evolution), to understand the drivers for migrating, and to determine what they need to be doing now to ensure their network remains competitive.

Presentations from mobile operators and other industry experts will help delegates to understand why, when and how to migrate to 3G LTE, and what they should be doing now to ensure their networks remain competitive into the future.
