Relentlessly Driving LTE Evolution
- Nation’s densest, highest-capacity
LTE network
- more spectrum and cell sites per
customer than either Verizon or AT&T
- LTE-Advanced started with Carrier
Aggregation in 2014
- Recent LTE-A deployments include
first commercial deployment of 4x4 MIMO smartphones globally, 3CA and 256QAM

LTE Evolution is an integral part of 5G
5G and 4G LTE work together
4G 5G 5G Radio Access is not a standalone technology, through multi-connectivity a 5G device can be served by various technologies (e.g. LTE and 5G) simultaneously5G builds on 4G LTE
Coverage and Capacity Complementary Flexibility“5G Network”
5G Radio Access complements LTE-Advanced, and provides additional capacity, speed and enriched capability to enhance existing use cases and enable new ones 65G shines in new spectrum bands, large bandwidths
- 5G will extend wireless into ultra-
high bandwidths
- mmWave spectrum, 10-100 times higher
frequency than today’s operations
- mmWave bands provides access
to large amounts of spectrum
- 10-100 times wider bandwidths than used
today, > multi Gbps data throughput
- High frequency enables small
antennas
- Large antenna arrays enables sophisticated
Beamforming/steering which unlocks the efficient use of mmW spectrum for Mobile Systems

8But when will 5G be here?
- Standards based 5G is moving forward
- 3GPP work started in 2015
- Phase 1 standards, with focus on enhanced Mobile Broadband targeted to be completed mid-2018
- First deployments typically 12-18 months after standards have been completed
5G Use Cases influence the journey
- 5G is build for flexibility and
variety of use cases
- We see 5G’s real potential in the
mobile internet and consumer space, but 5G also allows us to expand to new services and use cases
- Mobile VR and AR, Mobile High
- 5G Use cases will influence
the 5G network and service architecture
