Mobile Broadband spectrum allocations: Ericsson perspective Ulf pehrsson, vice president 3 december, 2013
Mobile subscriptions outlook 2010-2019 M2M subscriptions not included
population Coverage Around 90% of world´s population covered by WCDMA/HSPA in 2019 LTE network deployments continue in all regions of the world, as LTE population coverage doubled in 2012 compared to 2011 (10% vs. 5%) More than 65% of world’s population covered by LTE in 2019
Speed increase with LTE Downlink Speeds Kbps Source: Speedtest.net
performance drives loyalty Addressing network performance has largest impact on customer loyalty Four times as effective as introducing loyalty rewards Network performance is the principal driver of loyalty to mobile operators, followed by value for money (correlated parameters) Relative impact between each driver and loyalty to operator brand

Broadband capacity & coverage- typical deployment by a European operator Assumptions: Propagation based. Suburban environment. Reference frequency is 800 MHz. 5 dB higher antenna gain at 2,100 MHz and 6 dB higher antenna gain at 2,600 MHz. LTE and HSPA: re-use 1

To date, 25 countries have adopted the APT700 band. Japan, Australia, Mexico and Taiwan have licensed the band. Devices and infrastructure will become available mid-2014. Excellent potential for global roaming. Momentum in ITU Region 1 for a combination of the lower duplexer of the APT700 band with the CEPT800 band, currently being deployed in Europe. Ericsson recommends to license spectrum in blocks of 2x5 MHz. APT700 – Current update The APT700 band brings significant economies of scale and capabilities to cost efficiently cover also rural areas
Options discussed in CEPT ECC PT1 CEPT will reduce the number of options for a preferred channelling arrangement for the band 694-790 MHz Two main options – currently a majority is supporting Option 1
