SINGAPORE — 4G subscriber adoption is primed to take off in 2012 as a range of 4G-enabled mobile devices, from USB dongles, smartphones, tablets, 4G portable hotspots, and wireless broadband CPE modems, are shipping from assembly line to retail stores. “4G devices are expected to generate 87 million in unit sales in 2012, up 294% year-on-year,” states Jake Saunders, vice president of forecasting. “The lion’s share of the market is now backing LTE as service provider and vendor support has fallen away from WiMAX.” Observing the success of 3G cellular services, it is clear there is a natural evolutionary demand from end-users, both business and consumer, to jump onto the 4G data bandwagon. However, there are still some teething issues that will need to be worked through.

Some operators in Western Europe have stated that while customers do recognize 4G offers higher speeds, they are not necessarily signing up in droves, as many of them are not prepared to pay the premium for 4G handsets and 4G tariffs. “High definition,” from video streaming to richer, more interactive/immersive social networking and gaming experiences, should coax 3G customers to migrate to 4G. Furthermore, mobile device vendors are experiencing intense competitive pressure, which is expected to bring down LTE handset prices, estimated at 10 to 20 percent over the next two years.

“As evidenced by the Australian iPad 3 promotion fiasco, when iPad 3s were being promoted as being ‘LTE-ready,’ even though the modem is unable to access the Australian LTE spectrum band, the number of LTE spectrum bands will hamper initial pricing and product roll-out,” comments Philip Solis, research director, mobile devices. “Nevertheless, in addition to 61 million 4G handsets being shipped in 2012, we estimate 26 million 4G non-handset products will be shipped. In the short-term, most of that will reflect customers purchasing USB dongles for legacy laptops and netbooks, followed by customer premise equipment, or home modem, purchases.”

T-Mobile USA and Leap Wireless looked to shore up some spectrum shortages in their respective networks, announcing the exchange of licenses covering a handful of markets. The deals were technically made between the operators as well as affiliates of the respective carriers that are fiscally backed by the operators.

The deal calls for T-Mobile USA’s partner Cool Inlet to exchange 1.7/2.1 GHz spectrum licenses with Leap partner Savary Island Wireless. T-Mobile USA will receive licenses covering portions of Alabama, Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota and Wisconsin, while Leap will receive 10 megahertz of wireless spectrum covering Houston, Galveston and Bryan-College Station, Texas; and Phoenix. The deal also includes “intra-market exchanges” between the operators in Philadelphia; Wilmington, Del.; Atlantic City, N.J.; and various markets in Texas and New Mexico. Leap CEO Doug Hutcheson noted the “intra-market exchanges” would “allow us to re-align spectrum in key markets into contiguous channels thereby optimizing our delivery of wireless services.”

Leap noted the transactions help bolster its spectrum holdings for planned LTE deployments, which the carrier recently begun rolling out in Tucson, Ariz. The carrier announced late last year a deal with Verizon Wireless to acquire a 12 megahertz patch of spectrum in the 700 MHz band covering Chicago from its larger rival for $204 million and in turn sell various 1.9 GHz and 1.7/2.1 GHz spectrum licenses to Verizon Wireless for $188 million.

Leap last month signed a a five-year wholesale deal with Clearwire that will provide Leap and its Cricket brand with LTE coverage for customers when they are outside of the company’s native markets. The deal will take advantage of Clearwire’s plans to rollout TD-LTE using its 2.5 GHz spectrum assets. Leap would need to procure devices capable of handling that spectrum band and technology as well as its legacy CDMA network using its 1.7/2.1 GHz and 1.9 GHz spectrum and its LTE network using 700 MHz and 1.7/2.1 GHz spectrum. The Clearwire deal followed the collapse of its one-time deal with LightSquared that has hit the skids due to LightSquared not being able to garner control of its 1.6 GHz spectrum holdings due to interference concerns with some ground-based GPS systems.

For T-Mobile USA, the deal strengthens its network plans that are expected to include a host of spectrum re-farming initiatives designed to free up spectrum to begin the roll out of LTE services. T-Mobile USA announced in late February it plans to install new equipment at 37,000 cell sites and re-farm spectrum in the 1.9 GHz band currently used for its GSM-based services to launch HSPA+ services, which would then allow for the re-farming of its 1.7/2.1 GHz spectrum currently used for HSPA+ services to bolster the spectrum gleaned from the merger break up to launch LTE in the 1.7/2.1 GHz band.

BARCELONA, Spain–AT&T Mobility (NYSE:T) plans to test small cells in its network later this year. The carrier also announced it counts “several hundred thousand” Cisco femtocells in its network.

The news underscores the increasingly noisy buzz around small cells, Wi-Fi and femtocells in the wireless network. Vendors now moving into the small cell and Wi-Fi area include Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC), Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE:ALU) and–just announced today–Cisco. During a press event here, Cisco unveiled its “Small Cell Gateway,” which the company said is based on its ASR 5000 Series Mobile Multimedia Core Router and can integrate 2G/3G/4G LTE networks with femtocells and Wi-Fi hotspots.

And it appears the noise around small cells is generating fire. Kris Rinne, senior vice president of architectures for AT&T, said the carrier will test small cells in its macro network later this year. Rinne wasn’t immediately available to provide any further details, including what the tests would involve, what type of technology they would employ, and which vendor AT&T would use.

AT&T isn’t alone in fingering small cells. According to research commissioned by the Small Cell Forum (formerly the Femto Forum) and produced by Informa, small cells will outnumber macrocells by year-end, growing from 3.2 million deployed in 2012 to 59 million deployed by 2016.

Interestingly, Rinne also said AT&T now counts “several hundred thousand” femtocells in its network. She declined to provide a more specific number. AT&T began offering its Cisco femtocell nationwide in April 2010. The device acts as a mini base station that users tie to their home wired Internet connection in order to access a bubble of AT&T service.

AT&T’s femtocell number is relatively comparable to Sprint Nextel’s (NYSE:S) femtocell rollout. The carrier said in March 2011 that it counted 250,000 femtocells on its network, and expected to increase that number to 1 million within the next few years.

Sequans Communications now uses Rohde & Schwarz test equipment to align its new generation LTE chipsets. The jointly-developed test solution is built around the multi-standard, market-leading R&S CMW500 radio communication tester.

The test solution developed by Sequans and Rohde & Schwarz is based on the R&S CMWrun software. The software was adapted to Sequans’ LTE chipsets and implemented in Sequans’ test environment. Alignment of Sequans’ LTE chipsets using the new solution has been ongoing since December. The test software controls the device under test (DUT) and the R&S CMW500 that aligns the DUT in the non-signaling mode.

Bertrand Debray, VP of engineering at Sequans Communications said: The rollout of LTE networks is in full swing and the demand for new LTE user devices is increasing rapidly. It is imperative that we help our customers meet this accelerating demand by bringing our new LTE chip solutions to market as quickly as possible. The new Rohde & Schwarz production test solution is exceptionally fast, thereby ensuring we meet this objective.

Michael Altmann, Head of Mobile Radio Tester Product Management at Rohde & Schwarz, comments: On the basis of the R&S CMW500, Sequans and Rohde & Schwarz have created a test solution for LTE chipsets that will keep pace with future developments. This flexible multistandard platform also benefits user equipment manufacturers who can use it to test the chipsets or to develop and produce their own products.

The R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester is the ideal solution for all phases in the development and production of chipsets and wireless devices as well as for lab tests at network operator locations. In a single box, it supports all common wireless communications standards and is prepared to handle future standards. The R&S CMW500 is also a core component of the R&S TS8980 RF conformance test system, which Sequans uses for development and certification.

MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS, Barcelona, Spain—Stand 1B14, Hall1—February 27, 2012— Aeroflex Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aeroflex Holding Corp. (NYSE:ARX), announced today that the TM500 LTE Test Mobile is the first mobile test to emulate LTE Category 5 (Cat5) user equipment (UE), allowing operators to verify the operation of their networks and equipment vendors to prove the performance of their eNodeB (LTE base stations) at the higher data rates that are enabled by Cat5 handsets and terminals. The TM500 Test Mobile platform is already being used by all the world’s major infrastructure vendors and most femtocell vendors.

Cat5 is a classification for LTE UEs that provides enhanced data rates for both UL and DL. Using a 20 MHz bandwidth and FDD under good channel conditions, a data rate of 300 Mbps is available in the downlink, due to the addition of support for 4×4 MIMO. In the uplink the data rate is boosted to 75 Mbps by taking advantage of 64QAM modulation in addition to the earlier QPSK and 16QAM. Cat5 also introduces limited buffer rate matching in the DL, which confines the memory requirements allowing for cost effective handsets.

The TM500 Test Mobile now provides demodulation and decoding of downlink signals transmitted in 4×4 MIMO, and transmission of uplink signals modulated using 64QAM, in support of these higher LTE data rates.

“Yet again Aeroflex is providing the very latest test capability to allow testing of LTE networks and eNodeB ahead of the availability of real user equipment,” said Nicola Logli, Product Manager at Aeroflex. “The addition of Cat5 support to the TM500 allows engineers to verify the signal processing function when testing systems at the higher data rates provided by LTE, and its Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) mode permits validation of the Cat5 feature prior to integration into the eNodeB.”

The TM500’s “per antenna” measurement capability allows the engineers to validate eNodeB RF functionality with direct cabling, while its “per RF path” measurements offer a powerful tool for use over the air during field trials, for studying the use cases that maximize the benefits of the four-transmitter (4 Tx) topology of 4×4 MIMO. A constellation plot is also available, which provides the engineer with a rapid scan of the signal quality.

The TM500 Test Mobile can also be used in stress test cases at an early stage in the development of Cat5, where one or two of the TM500 units are used in an attempt to utilize all the eNodeB resources while other handsets or UE also required to be served.
