STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN -- (Marketwire) -- 11/21/12 --
* Based on contracts it has already signed, Ericsson expects to have a more
than 50 percent share of the LTE market in Latin America by volume
* Mobile subscriptions in the region currently number 676 million and
another 230 million are expected to be added by 2018
* By 2018, LTE will account for some 10 percent (approximately 90 million)
of all mobile subscriptions in Latin America
Mobile broadband plays a key role in Latin America, as it does in other
regions, increasing quality of life and contributing to economic
development. Consumers are increasingly dependent on mobile broadband as
many of them use smartphones to gain instant access to information,
entertain themselves or interact socially.
According to the Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) Mobility Report published today, 14
million new mobile subscriptions were recorded in Q3 for a total of 676
million. Ericsson estimates that another 230 million mobile subscriptions
will be added by 2018.
Few of the subscriptions are currently for LTE, but that will change
markedly by 2018, when Ericsson predicts 10 percent of all mobile
subscriptions in Latin America - approximately 90 million - will be LTE
subscriptions. LTE is currently being rolled out across the region and
Ericsson has won many of the contracts for the new networks. Ericsson has
signed LTE/EPC contracts with Claro, Oi, Telefonica | Vivo and TIM in
Brazil; UNE in Colombia; Telcel in Mexico; and AT&T and Open Mobile in
Puerto Rico. Once they have been deployed,
Ericsson will have a more than 50 percent share of the Latin American LTE
market in terms of volume.
Sergio Quiroga, Head of Region Latin America at Ericsson, says: "Ericsson
has played a role in Latin America since 1896, most recently by helping it
take important steps to implement mobility, broadband and cloud services.
Our share of the region's LTE market will be substantially larger than our
share of the region's 3G market. Our global leadership in LTE and mobile
broadband has helped us achieve this."
In addition to consumer demand, factors such as economic and technological
development - driven by governments across the region - are contributing to
the increase in mobile broadband subscriptions.
Brazil will play a key role in the technological transformation of the
region. Purchasing power has increased and there are now more mobile phone
subscriptions than people in the country. And with Brazil set to host the
world's two most watched sporting events in 2014 and 2016, there will be
even more opportunities to boost national infrastructure.
In Latin America as a whole, Ericsson predicts that 3G technologies such as
WCDMA/HSPA will largely replace 2G technologies such as GSM/EDGE by 2018.
Whereas 3G technologies currently account for just 18 percent of all mobile
subscriptions, they will account for 65 percent of subscriptions by 2018.
2G technologies will decline from 82 percent of all mobile subscriptions at
present
to 25 percent by 2018.
From a global perspective, Ericsson has now signed more than 90 LTE/EPC
contracts and maintains its leading position in LTE and mobile broadband,
currently providing coverage for 305 million of the 455 million global LTE
population.

@ThingsExpo Stories By Pat Romanski  Organizations planning enterprise data center consolidation and modernization projects are faced with a challenging, costly reality. Requirements to deploy modern, cloud-native applications simultaneously with traditional client/server applications are almost impossible to achieve with hardware-centric enterprise infrastructure. Compute and network infrastructure are fast moving down a software-defined path, but storage has been a laggard. Until now.

We all agree that collecting relevant IoT data will result in massive amounts of data needing to be stored.

We have an excess of wearables – activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no idea what “IoT” means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users should be. We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it swung toward "smart for smart...
