The document discusses key factors for the success of LTE networks and their impacts. It covers how mobile networks are transforming from a focus on voice to data as smartphones and data usage increase. This requires network modernization including increased density of cell sites, small cells, and backhaul expansion. LTE requirements include flexibility, support for multiple standards and frequencies, self-organizing networks, and network sharing. The presentation addresses these challenges and TIM's network transformation roadmap to build a leading mobile broadband network.

TBR REQUIREMENTS:: MOBILE IS STRONGLY PUSHING OPERATORS
Investments:
• Need to increase 3G capacity and build
good LTE coverage;
• Mobile world transforming to an IP world;
• Backhaul investments to cope with Mobile
Broadband capacity requirements.
Financials:
•Voice margins under pressure and inflation
pressure;
•Data not expected to compensate in short
term;
•Low EBITDA margins;
•High competitiveness in mobile market.
1. Flexibility in capacity upgrades;
2. Multi-standard and multi-frequency solutions
required (SDR), also for Small and Femto
solutions;
3. RF equipment has to support multi-carrier and
different standards simultaneously ;
4. LTE fully compliant with HETNET, taking
advantage also of non licensed spectrum (WiFi)
5. Reduced power consumption;
6. Full support of Self Organized Network (SON);
7. Full reuse of 2G/3G sites;
Regulation:
•Frequency auctions bound to new coverage;
•Competition Increase;
•Regulator now encouraging and facilitating
sharing.
