Mobile Broadband Capacity - How to Win in the Usage Explosion

This groundbreaking report by Rysavy Research builds on an earlier report developed for CTIA that documented the exploding demand for mobile broadband services, and the effect on available spectrum. This report quantifies many aspects of the growth, analyzes how much spectrum is actually required for what types of services, to what extent new technologies such as WiMAX and LTE will be able to actually address demand, and what different wireless industry players need to do to succeed in this challenging environment.

Based on current broadband trends and currently available spectrum, wireless network operators are highly vulnerable to their networks becoming saturated. This can be managed, but will require significant changes in how data services are provided and managed. The mobile broadband market has tremendous potential, but if expectations are not set appropriately with users, and if the right tools and services are not deployed, the market will fall severely short of its potential.
