| LTE Hello All,
This is Praveen Gupta, managing consultant, MobileStack (you wireless knowledge resource). I agree with Hank Kafka of AT&T. LTE will not be ready for next 2 years (for sure). The reason: LTE has adopted "distributed RNC" architecture and removed RNC (as used in UMTS architecture). This change, alone, requires testing of LTE in a large FOA to ensure that LTE can achieve full-mobility (in scalable manner) with distributed RNC. It may require design changes & fine-tuning based on FOA experience. All this will "delay" LTE readyness for commercial deployment and being "ready" for prime-time.
Thx. |
