Global Fixed LTE Market By Overview
Fixed LTE wireless access enables a fatter data pipe into the office or home, where it gets translated into other technologies with which all the existing mobile devices can communicate. This technology translation through a home gateway or customer premises equipment (CPE) increases both the data capacity as well as the effective data rate that each user sees. Additionally, this enables the wireless carrier companies to deliver superior user experiences without the need to change existing mobile user equipment. Making maximum use of coverage from towers with non-light-of-sight radio wave propagation improves the return on investment for fixed wireless access network operators. Offering packages in price brackets makes it easier to target price sensitive customers and assist the adoption rate.
Drivers and Restraints:
The usage of fixed LTE in residential areas is growing rapidly, due to increasing consumer need for high-speed internet connectivity, mainly wherein the customers have limited access to the technology. In addition, the service providers are making a prominent investment into fixed LTE technology for residential or home users, which are projected to drive growth of the target market over the forecast period. For instance, in April 2018, AT&T launched fixed LTE broadband services in Mexico especially for residential users. The company has laid emphasis majorly in the areas which are underpenetrated or unserved by fixed-line operators. Additionally, Telcel launched fixed LTE services at a competitive price in mid-2018, in Mexico, to tackle AT&T and other competitors. In the U.S., the demand for high-speed internet connections is increasing at a rapid rate, owing to which, companies are rigorously investing in fixed Wireless connections. Deploying fixed wireless connections not only offers high-speed internet but also help the users in the unserved areas to avail of them. From June 2014, till December 2016, the number of residential wireless connections for 25 Mbps downstream connection has increased by over 400%, owing to the speedy demand from rural areas. In addition, this is projected to extend investments from service providers, thereby propelling the fixed LTE infrastructure and the global market growth, over the forecast period. However, network performance concerns and limitations of fixed LTE may hamper growth of the target market over the forecast period
Segmentation:
The global fixed LTE market is segmented based type of user, type of solution, and region.
On the basis of type of user, the global fixed LTE market is divided into residential and commercial. On the basis of type of solution, the target market is segmented into LTE infrastructure and other solution types. Other solution types segment is further divided into indoor CPE and outdoor CPE.
Based on region the global fixed LTE market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. The North American region has witnessed a significant increase in interest and investment in fixed wireless broadband over the last two years. While approximately 30% of the U.S. households in remote and rural communities still lack access to high-speed broadband, fixed wireless broadband is emerging as a key technology enabler. It is stated that approximately 2,000 wireless internet service providers (WISPs) are currently providing fixed wireless broadband services to more than 4 million households in rural communities and small towns, in all the 50 the U.S. states. Europe followed by Asia-pacific is also expected to witness significant growth for the global market over the forecast period.
