LTE And M2M: Converging Paths

LTE is taking the wireless world by storm. According to the Global Mobile Suppliers Association (GSA), 49 operators worldwide had launched commercial LTE services as of January 2012, and 285 had committed to commercial network deployments or were engaged in trials or technology testing. In fact, LTE rollouts are now happening faster than expected. According to GSA, by the end of 2012, we can expect 119 commercial LTE networks operating in more than 50 countries. And, despite early questions about whether LTE deployments would be limited to high-density areas, LTE has become the de facto standard for the next generation of cellular networks.

This whitepaper discusses this trend and its impact on the M2M industry.
