India 2012 International Conference at New Delhi, Shri J.K. Roy, Member Technology, Ministry of Communications & IT said, “For an effective utilisation of the possibilities which can be offered by LTE (Long Term Evolution), back haul is one of the most important components. The optical fibre network which is being put in place by the Government of India will close this gap and there will be range of opportunities in the rural areas which can be availed by LTE technology providers.”
With broadband wireless access auction winners slated to roll out ultra speed mobile broadband with TD-LTE technology in the near future, the rise of broadband uptake is expected to transform the socio-economical fabric of the country. The subscribers are already experiencing the 4th Generation mobile communication through TD-LTE technology. LTE-enabled 4G speeds are expected to improve user experience of wireless broadband including web, online gaming, video streaming and social networking even while on the move.
In his introductory address, Mr. Adrian Scrase, Head of Mobile Competence Centre, 3GPP said that couple of years ago India was not much decided about LTE. “LTE was a dream for the Indian operators, but today releasing the growth & the level of satisfaction required, LTE has become a reality in India,” added Mr. Scrase.
