DUBAI, UAE. 1st June 2015: SNS Research's latest report indicates that spending on LTE-U smalls cell is expected to reach nearly $2 Billion by the end of 2020.
LTE-U (LTE-Unlicensed) technology uses unlicensed spectrum bands to transmit LTE signals, and pairs them with licensed LTE signals to preserve the necessary control signaling and scheduling required for a reliable connection. Primarily targeting the 5 GHz WiFi spectrum, early trials of the technology have demonstrated signitificant capacity leaps. For example, Korean wireless carrier LG Uplus has demonstrated twice the speed of its commercial LTE-A service, by combining 60 MHz of unlicensed 5.8 GHz spectrum with 20 MHz in the licensed LTE spectrum.
Driven by the promise of higher capacity in unlicensed spectrum, LTE-U small cell shipments are expected to grow at a CAGR of 80% between 2016 and 2020. By the end of 2020, LTE-U small cell shipments will account for nearly $2 Billion in revenue.
