EDGE and HSPA/HSPA+ Holding Steady in Face of LTE Blitz - New Infonetics IP RAN StudyCAMPBELL, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its IP RAN and 3GPP Strategies and Vendor Leadership: Global Service Provider Survey, which analyzes how and why mobile operators plan to get as much out of their existing 3GPP network assets as possible through evolutionary steps, versus jumping straight to LTE (News - Alert). ANALYST NOTE "EDGE and HSPA/HSPA+ have a long tail and remain strong despite the onslaught of LTE deployments. However, some of the HSPA+ traction we saw among mobile operators last year is diminishing because of the current move to LTE, which we qualify as the second wave of rollouts characterized by hundreds of small footprints," notes Stéphane Téral, principal analyst for mobile infrastructure and carrier economics at Infonetics Research. "Because those LTE rollouts are not overlay networks, most will still require serious HSPA+ upgrades to maintain user experience when falling off LTE coverage," Téral adds.
