MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/20/14 -- Audience, Inc.

This 4G Americas whitepaper is intended to provide a brief review of some of the key specifications in 3GPP Release 11. 

3GPP Rel-11 standards for HSPA+ and LTE-Advanced were frozen in December 2012 with the core network protocols stable in December 2012 and radio access network (RAN) protocols stable in March 2013.

5G will enable the long-term Networked Society and realize the vision of unlimited access to information for anyone and anything.

February 13, 2013 - Consumers' increasing demand for mobile broadband is forcing operators to build out their networks for greater coverage, capacity and speed.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.-- Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSPD), the industry leader in technology for small cell base stations, announced today that according to Infonetics Research, it had 63% of the 3GPP small cell market. Most of these shipments were for commercial deployment of HSPA small cells.

Dresden, Germany, November 28, 2012 – Signalion announces the launch of its new product DTS-12. It is a simple and cost-efficient tool for performance verification and optimization of wireless networks by means of drive tests.

On a global basis, subscriptions to HSPA mobile broadband are growing rapidly. There were 900 million global subscriptions for HSPA at of the end of  December 2011, rising to 1 billion by 2Q 2012. This number is expected to reach 2.8 billion by the end of 2015. There were 476 commercial HSPA networks in 181 countries worldwide reported in September 2012.4

This white paper discusses the evolution and capabilities of HSPA and LTE relative to other primary competing technologies. It explains how these technologies fit into the  International Telecommunications Union (ITU) roadmap that leads to  International Mobile Telecommunications-Advanced (IMT-Advanced) and beyond. 

Tellabs Webinar: There's a strong consensus among service providers that small cells will be an integral part of their 3G, HSPA and LTEⁱ deployments in the future. However, the timing of deployments, use cases, and the range of potential architectures cause some uncertainty in the best path forward for each service provider.
