 <title>Voice-over-LTE Drives IMS Core Market in 1Q12, According to Exact Ventures </title>
 <link>http://www.fiercewireless.com/press-releases/voice-over-lte-drives-ims-core-market-1q12-according-exact-ventures?utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_source=rss</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Alcatel-Lucent leads IMS Core Market in 4Q11, followed by Ericsson,  Huawei, and Nokia Siemens&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BURLINGAME, Calif., May 22, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- In recently released report, Exact Ventures found that the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) Core market in the first quarter nearly tripled year-over-year, in major part due to significant voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) deployments in North America.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;While the IMS Core market showed very strong growth during the quarter it is still a relatively small market, accounting for just 10 percent of the total--wireline plus wireless--voice core market,&quot; said Greg Collins, Founder and Principal Analyst at research firm Exact Ventures. &quot;The transition away from circuit switching to an all IP core network based on IMS is just beginning and is expected to last well over a decade,&quot; commented Collins.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 1Q12, Alcatel-Lucent led the IMS Core market on the strength of early VoLTE deployments in North America. Ericsson and Nokia Siemens also benefited from these deployments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the report, the session border controller (SBC) and voice application server (VAS) markets will also gain from this transition. In 1Q12, the SBC market increased 15 per cent compared to the same quarter last year while the VAS market increased 39 per cent over the same timeframe. Legacy softswitch and media gateway markets continued to contract in the first quarter, due in large part from operators deploying and testing newer IMS solutions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Slower growth in voice traffic and price declines exacerbated this trend.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Nokia Siemens Networks Tops ABI Research LTE Base Station Vendor       Matrix, Followed by Ericsson and Huawei</title>
 <link>http://www.fiercewireless.com/press-releases/nokia-siemens-networks-tops-abi-research-lte-base-station-vendor-matrix-fol?utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_source=rss</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;NEW YORK--(&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.businesswire.com&quot;&gt;BUSINESS WIRE&lt;/a&gt;)-- Nokia Siemens Networks has been ranked at the top of the latest 2012 LTE Base Station Vendor Matrix, released by ABI Research.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Huawei and Ericsson claimed the second and third spots, respectively, while Alcatel-Lucent came in fourth in the company’s most recent evaluation of worldwide LTE base station vendors. This matrix primarily covers the competitiveness of vendors that provide LTE base stations for wireless radio access networks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nokia Siemens Networks takes the top spot thanks to its continued momentum in attracting commercial contracts, contributions to essential IP for LTE, and its initiatives in small cells. “Nokia Siemens Networks was number one in our implementation score on the back of their impressive number of LTE/RAN contract wins and they were also number one in our score for innovation thanks to the extension of their Liquid Radio roadmap to now encompass Flexi Zone,” comments Nick Marshall, principal analyst, networks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Ericsson and Huawei were a very close number two and number three in our innovation and implementation scores thanks to their contributions to essential IP for LTE and continued market share gains, and compared to our previous vendor matrix we believe Huawei and Ericsson are closing the gap on Nokia Siemens Networks,” adds Marshall.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The vendor matrix is an analytical tool developed by ABI Research to provide a clear understanding of vendors’ positions in specific markets. Vendors are assessed on the important parameters of “innovation” and “implementation” across several criteria unique to each vendor matrix. Details of the criteria can be found on the product website.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Huawei Climbs to Number Two Spot in Wireless Equipment, Says ABI       Research</title>
 <link>http://www.fiercewireless.com/press-releases/huawei-climbs-number-two-spot-wireless-equipment-says-abi-research?utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_source=rss</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;SINGAPORE--(&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.businesswire.com&quot;&gt;BUSINESS WIRE&lt;/a&gt;)-- Wireless equipment vendors performed well in the fourth quarter of 2011. While finishing strong in the last quarter of every calendar year is typical for vendors in this market, Huawei exceeded expectations and overcame Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) to grab second place in the market. As usual, Ericsson was the market leader, with approximately US$3.5 billion in wireless network equipment sales during 4Q2011.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Huawei had an exceptionally good fourth quarter,” says practice director, mobile networks, Aditya Kaul. “Preliminary quarterly results of US$2.53 billion for wireless networks were up 54% quarter-on-quarter and 38% year-on-year. As a result, Huawei grabbed second place from NSN in wireless network equipment market share for the fourth quarter of 2011.” NSN achieved US$2.4 billion in wireless equipment sales during 4Q2011.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fourth quarter in 2011 was not as strong as it has been in previous years, despite it being the best quarter of 2011 for the majority of wireless equipment. “In general, fourth quarter 2011 revenues were down year-on-year from fourth quarter 2010,” says Jim Eller, principal analyst, wireless infrastructure. “Wireless network operators did not spend as much in the fourth quarter as they have in past years, presumably taking a cautious approach due to uncertainty of the macroeconomic situation.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ABI Research’s study, “&lt;a href=&quot;http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.abiresearch.com%2Fresearch%2F1003902&amp;amp;esheet=50227603&amp;amp;lan=en-US&amp;amp;anchor=Wireless+Infrastructure+Market+Data&amp;amp;index=1&amp;amp;md5=b956f497f3b862e8abd3f10d7e037b08&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wireless Infrastructure Market Data&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;,” (&lt;a href=&quot;http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.abiresearch.com%2Fresearch%2F1003902&amp;amp;esheet=50227603&amp;amp;lan=en-US&amp;amp;anchor=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.abiresearch.com%2Fresearch%2F1003902&amp;amp;index=2&amp;amp;md5=38613ad4827af1cb274e1cd3f3dd3614&quot;&gt;http://www.abiresearch.com/research/1003902&lt;/a&gt;) tracks base station deployments by technology, region, and country. The study also forecasts new deployments, upgrades, and replacements annually through 2017, as well as operator base station spend estimates.&lt;/p&gt;

 <link>http://www.fiercewireless.com/press-releases/huawei-introduces-beyond-lte-technology-30gbps?utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_source=rss</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Shenzhen, China, March 15, 2012: Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, recently introduced its Beyond LTE technology, which significantly increases peak rates to 30Gbps - over 20 times faster than existing commercial LTE networks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Mobile networks are developing at an unprecedented rate,&quot; said David Wang, president of Huawei&#039;s Wireless Network Business Unit. &quot;Future technologies will bring revolutionary advances in network evolution-higher spectrum efficiency, wider spectrum aggregation, and faster access rates. Our Beyond LTE technology signifies the future of mobile broadband.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Huawei&#039;s Beyond LTE technology achieves key breakthroughs in antenna structure, radio frequency architecture, IF (intermediate frequency) algorithms, and multi-user MIMO (multi-input multi-output). It significantly improves the spectrum utilization efficiency of mobile communications systems and the construction and operation efficiency of entire networks. Key features include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Innovative antenna structure greatly improves performance and meets wideband requirements&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next generation direct radio frequency technology reduces costs and power consumption, and realizes ultra broadband carrier aggregation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cutting-edge multi-antenna coding algorithm makes full use of MIMO (multi-input multi-output) channel capacity&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to recent data from the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), Huawei has had 265 LTE/LTE-A Core specifications approved since 2010, which is 20% of the total number approved and the most out of any other company in the industry. Huawei&#039;s dedication to sharing its technological and intellectual property continues to play a fundamental role in the development of the global LTE industry.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>LTE subscriber base reaches 12 million at the end of 2011 </title>
 <link>http://www.fiercewireless.com/press-releases/lte-subscriber-base-reaches-12-million-end-2011?utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_source=rss</link>
 <description>&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Maravedis Releases latest 4G statistics and KPIs&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MONTREAL, Canada, and MIAMI, Florida, March 13, 2012&lt;/strong&gt;. At the end of Q4 2011, the worldwide LTE subscriber base nearly doubled in size over the previous quarter to reach 12.02 million subscribers worldwide, showing a rapid adoption of LTE at the expense of WiMAX, according to the 17th issue of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;4GCounts Quarterly Report&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; from Maravedis. The quarter over quarter subscriber increase for LTE and WiMAX was 92% and 14% respectively over that reported at the end of Q3 2011.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the end of 2011, 54 operators worldwide had launched LTE commercially, 19 during the quarter alone. An additional 224 major mobile operators had committed to launching the technology in the future, 193 of those with FDD-LTE and 31 with TD-LTE. &quot;Maravedis anticipates that 469 million LTE subscribers will be active by 2016 of which 25% or 118 million will be TD-LTE users and the rest (75% or 350 million) will be FDD-LTE,&quot; said Cintia Garza, 4GCounts team leader.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The region where the most TD-LTE trials have been taking place during Q4 2011 is APAC with 18 operators trialing the technology, followed by Europe with 5 trials. &quot;Although we have seen some commercial TD-LTE deployments happening in 2011 outside Asia, these deployments will not drive the substantial economies of scale expected from the larger deployments in China and India this year,&quot; said Basharat Ashai, co-author of the report.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Q4 2011, NSN-Motorola and Huawei enjoyed the lion&#039;s share of awarded LTE contracts, with 26% and 23% respectively. Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) delivered the TD-LTE network and USB dongles for the commercial launch of SKY (Brazil), becoming the first TD-LTE network in Latin America. Huawei on its part had clinched about 41 LTE contracts in 2011. Alcatel-Lucent took 12% of the contracts, and the vendor is expected to land further LTE infrastructure contracts in Latin America, potentially in Chile, Colombia and Brazil.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The majority of LTE devices available today support the 700MHz band because the predominant LTE deployments are from US operators Verizon Wireless and AT&amp;amp;T, which operate in that band. &quot;We believe, however, that the number of devices covered in the 2.6 GHz band will soon exceed the devices deployed in the 700MHz. The 2.6GHz has been widely allocated for mobile broadband across the world in both FDD and TD-LTE modes. We believe that multimode and multifrequency devices will gradually become the norm,&quot; said Cintia Garza, 4GCounts team leader.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THIS QUARTER&#039;S SUMMARY FINDINGS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.6GHz, in combination with 800MHz and 1800MHz, will be the dominant bands for LTE deployments in the future&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Large volume      production of TD-LTE handsets will not start until 2013&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BWA/WiMAX subscriber      base will slowly reach 35 million at the end of 2016 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;By 2016,      smartphones and tablets will dominate the 4G device market, accounting for      55% and 15% of the total 4G device market share respectively &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The top 50 LTE      operators reported a total installed base of 59,000 base station sectors      at the end of Q4 2011, up from 37,000 base station sectors installed at      the end of Q3 2011&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

 <link>http://www.fiercewireless.com/press-releases/mobily-and-huawei-announce-first-commercial-service-delivery-platform-middl?utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_source=rss</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;xn-location&quot;&gt;JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class=&quot;xn-chron&quot;&gt;March 4, 2012&lt;/span&gt; /PRNewswire/ --&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mobily.com.sa/wps/portal&quot;&gt;Etihad Etisalat (Mobily)&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;span class=&quot;xn-location&quot;&gt;Saudi Arabia&#039;s&lt;/span&gt; leading mobile operator, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.huawei.com/&quot;&gt;Huawei&lt;/a&gt;, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, have revealed the implementation of the &lt;span class=&quot;xn-location&quot;&gt;Middle East&#039;s&lt;/span&gt; first commercial next generation Service Delivery Platform (SDP) involving landmark advances to nearly every segment of the operator&#039;s nationwide mobile network.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Amidst fierce competition within the Saudi telecom sector, Mobily announced in early 2011 that it would undergo a strategic business transformation that would provide more innovative services to its customers while streamlining overall operations and management processes. The technology behind the resulting SDP platform has been engineered specifically for the operator by Huawei-a leading ICT solutions provider which has successfully deployed SDP solutions across the globe and ranks first in overall market share for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.huawei.com/ilink/en/solutions/arpu-up/HW_001252?KeyTemps=&quot;&gt;SDP delivery&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the next generation SDP, Mobily will be able to more rapidly implement new multimedia services collaborating with content publishers, service providers and all other players on the value chain. The platform also allows Mobily to do things like setting up their own app store, integrating with OTT content providers, and developing cloud-oriented services-all part of opening the door to more diverse revenue streams and a healthy business ecosystem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;We are very proud of this cooperation between Mobily and Huawei. The &lt;span class=&quot;xn-location&quot;&gt;Middle East&#039;s&lt;/span&gt; first commercial next generation Service Delivery Platform (SDP) is part of Mobily&#039;s initiative to enrich the telecom sector and customers&#039; experience,&quot; said Mobily&#039;s CEO &lt;span class=&quot;xn-person&quot;&gt;Khalid Al Kaf&lt;/span&gt;. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mobily has partnered with Huawei on numerous occasions leading up to the SDP launch, including the initiation of Mobily 4G LTE services in &lt;span class=&quot;xn-chron&quot;&gt;September 2011&lt;/span&gt; which will eventually cover more than 30 cities and towns representing 85% of the populated areas in KSA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;This project was a fantastic opportunity to work with Mobily to build a strong operation, assurance, and optimization system that could be integrated into the pre-existing network,&quot; comments &lt;span class=&quot;xn-person&quot;&gt;Yi Xiang&lt;/span&gt;, President of &lt;span class=&quot;xn-location&quot;&gt;Middle East&lt;/span&gt;, Huawei. &amp;nbsp;&quot;As legacy services, operations and networks are replaced with these software-driven frameworks, the traditionally separate IT and telecom worlds are now converging. This particular Huawei SDP solution will enable Mobily to tap into new revenue streams across the telecom, media, and Internet industries by extracting value from mobile broadband and cross-industries business.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Market research firm Infonetics Research noted in a 2011 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.infonetics.com/pr/2011/SDP-Deployment-Strategies-Survey-Highlights.asp&quot;&gt;report&lt;/a&gt; that there has been a great deal of buzz over the last few years about leveraging SDPs for advanced applications such as machine-to-machine services, mobile advertising and cloud services; demonstrating a growing sophistication around the applications that operators are using SDPs to support while aiming to reduce time-to-market for new services.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Currently, Huawei SDP solutions are being used by more than 100 operators around the world including the top five multinational telecom operators globally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;About Mobily&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Etihad Etisalat (Mobily) was established in 2004 by a consortium led by Etisalat, the UAE based telecom conglomerate. Mobily is the official brand name of Etihad Etisalat, renowned as the second mobile service provider in the &lt;span class=&quot;xn-location&quot;&gt;Kingdom of Saudi Arabia&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The awarded 25-Year telecommunication mobile license was complemented by a subsequent purchase of a 3G license. Mobily is the 1st Saudi communications company to get an operation license for 3rd generation services and beyond. In &lt;span class=&quot;xn-chron&quot;&gt;December 2004&lt;/span&gt;, Mobily was listed on Tadawul Stock Exchange. Today, Mobily equates to 40%+ market share of the mobile subscriptions in the Kingdom. &amp;nbsp;In &lt;span class=&quot;xn-chron&quot;&gt;March 2008&lt;/span&gt;, Mobily was granted approval by CITC (Communication and Information Technology Commission) to acquire Bayanat al-Oula which was a licensed Data Service Provider for a price of &lt;span class=&quot;xn-money&quot;&gt;SAR 1.5 Billion&lt;/span&gt;. And, in &lt;span class=&quot;xn-chron&quot;&gt;November 2008&lt;/span&gt;, Mobily acquired absolute majority stakes in Zajil, the leading Saudi ISP (Internet Service Provider).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mobily owns vast majority shares in the Saudi National Fiber Network (SNFN) composed with 12,800 KM of structured fiber cable, panned into 7 fully protected rings covering 35 Saudi cities plus access to 60 major hub sites for telecommunications prime points of presence, and complimented with 20 inter-metropolis fiber loops in major Saudi cities. Furthermore, Mobily is a lead investor in prime global submarine cable projects that are expected to be operational in the near future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;About Huawei&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <link>http://www.fiercewireless.com/press-releases/silicon-image-s-mhl-transmitters-designed-huawei-s-new-smartphone-models?utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_source=rss</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.businesswire.com&quot;&gt;BUSINESS WIRE&lt;/a&gt;)-- &lt;a href=&quot;http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.siliconimage.com%2F&amp;amp;esheet=50183638&amp;amp;lan=en-US&amp;amp;anchor=Silicon+Image&amp;amp;index=1&amp;amp;md5=065825dff3c9e70fbd7ec7cbeb8d7637&quot;&gt;Silicon Image&lt;/a&gt; (NASDAQ: SIMG), a leading provider of wireless and wired HD connectivity solutions, today announced that Huawei’s new line of Ascend smartphones feature Silicon Image’s SiI9244 MHL transmitter. Huawei is a leading global information and communications technology solutions provider based in Shenzhen, China.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With mobile technologies advancing at a rapid pace, smartphones have evolved into powerful devices that place virtually all the functionalities of a set-top box, gaming console, camera, and PC in the palm of your hand. Now more than ever, consumers can use their smartphones beyond communications, but also for gaming, digital entertainment and office productivity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MHL technology is a rapidly growing HD audio/video connectivity standard that is playing an instrumental role in how today’s consumers access content on their mobile devices. MHL technology enables a mobile device to transmit 1080p uncompressed video with up to eight channels of digital audio to a monitor or DTV, while charging the phone’s battery while it is connected. Using the existing connections on the mobile device, DTV or monitor makes it simple for consumers to “plug and play” their HD content and they are also able to control MHL-enabled mobile devices using their existing DTV remote. Manufacturers save on costs since additional ports are not required.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Silicon Image’s expertise in HD connectivity solutions has made them the ideal choice for enabling MHL connectivity in our new Ascend smartphone models,” said Shaoyang, CMO of Huawei Device. “Our new MHL-enabled smartphones will allow consumers to get the most potential out of their device, whether it be for communications, gaming, entertainment or office applications.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Mobile device technologies have transformed the way consumers use their smartphones,” said Tim Vehling, vice president of product marketing at Silicon Image, Inc. “We are pleased to be working with Huawei to integrate MHL technology into their latest smartphones and enhance the user experience in these new mobile usage models. Huawei is helping to grow the MHL ecosystem of products that currently includes smartphones, tablets, DTVs, monitors, and other devices.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Huawei will be showcasing its new Ascend smartphones at Mobile World Congress, which will be held in Barcelona, Spain from February 27 - March 1, 2012. Huawei’s booth will be located at Hall 8, 8A159, Fira de Barcelona.&lt;/p&gt;
