Radio access networks will evolve to provide solid platforms for new services and applications, making mobile broadband the main driver of revenue growth for mobile operators in Latin America, according to a new report from Pyramid Research (www.pyr.com), the telecom research arm of the Light Reading Communications Network (www.lightreading.com).

From 3G to LTE: Latin America's Path to Mobile Broadband focuses on mobile network technologies, analyzing their role in building dynamic mobile broadband markets across Latin America. In this 23-page report, Pyramid examines the state of network technology adoption to identify the role of dominant standards in mobile data growth. We also look at how competitive pressures from CDMA EV-DO and Mobile WiMax are boosting that growth, and whether strategic decisions by alternative mobile operators could accelerate 4G uptake. The report ends with three case studies of specific conditions in and expectations for Brazil, Chile, and Mexico.
