LTE revenue reaches USD 6 bln worldwide in Q1

Global LTE mobile infrastructure revenue is forecast to peak at USD 23.3 billion in 2015 and then start to decline as a result of diminishing rollouts, according to a report by Infonetics. As the market reached the peak of LTE roll-outs, LTE is now set to perform at USD 6 billion a quarter for some time as operators complete their major remaining rollouts, researchers believe. LTE revenue totaled USD 6 billion worldwide in Q1, a 1 percent sequential decline. LTE rollouts were not strong enough in Q1 to fully offset the abyssal year-on-year decline of 2G/3G spending, resulting in an 8 percent sequential decline for the global 2G/3G/4G mobile infrastructure market, which came to USD 11 billion. On a year-on-year basis, the 2G/3G/4G mobile infrastructure market was up 4 percent in Q1 2015, driven by unabated TDD LTE activity in China.
