Asia-Pacific LTE Subscriptions Are Expected to Double to 72.1 Million by the End of 2013

In 4Q-2012, the LTE subscription in Asia-Pacific has increased by 60.92% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), reaching 34.6 million. ABI Research expects that the LTE subscription market will continue to grow rapidly in 2013 to reach 72.1 million. “The operators in South Korea have aggressively promoted LTE since launch. For example, SK Telecom, the largest operator in terms of subscriptions, had gained 7 million LTE subscribers by the end of 2012, and aims to secure 13 million by the end of 2013, a feat that will mean 50% of its subscribers will be on LTE,” said Marina Lu, research associate at ABI Research.

Future-proofing the Optical Transport Network

Technology is at its most useful when it’s flexible enough to adapt to changing needs. Take WiFi as an example; imagine how complex it would be if there were half a dozen different WiFi standards out there. But wait…there actually are at least nine different 802.11 WiFi variants– but part of the WiFi standards process is to ensure that different implementations are flexible enough to negotiate the highest data rate for most combinations of client and base station.

IP-optimized transport in optical access and metro

Transport equipment is used to manage connectivity between edge/access equipment and metro/aggregation and core networking equipment. Traditionally, the task of such equipment has centered on the need to aggregate and transport multiple, diverse protocols and services. SONET/SDH was the first true transport protocol that could aggregate voice, data, and other common services. As traffic demands grew, the physical-layer channelization method of WDM was developed for optical fiber. Unfortunately SONET/SDH was defined before WDM; as a result, SONET/SDH had no way to manage wavelengths or optical elements such as optical amplifiers and optical add/drop multiplexers.
