LTE Device Chipsets: The Workhorses of LTE The challenges in LTE silicon are many, and many of the complications in LTE deployment are revealed in the benefits. As LTE platforms are expected to support many different airlinks, so too will the end-use devices. Mobile phones will be expected to seamlessly transition from 3G networks to the LTE platform and vice-versa.
This report starts with an overview of LTE chipset architecture and the LTE ecosystem. The report then reviews the LTE chipset vendors including Altair Semiconductor, BitWave Semiconductor, ComSys Mobile, Qualcomm, and Samsung. Then, by defining the protocols, understanding the LTE ecosystem, and reviewing what we know about the LTE chipset manufacturers at this moment, we can anticipate which devices will enter the market. The last section of the report reviews the integration of LTE chipsets into mobile handsets.
The report includes market estimates and forecasts of LTE USB dongles and external clients, total portable devices, handset regional shipments, silicon BOM, and silicon revenue. Also included are the estimates for LTE MAC software and IP royalties.

Date Published: Feb 2010 * * * * * * Radio Spectrum At a time of explosive
growth for mobile
broadband and the
progressive deployment of
4G networks starting next
year, new frequency bands
are being made available.
Digital dividend spectrum
was already awarded last
year in the US, and is
progressively being
harmonised in Western
Europe. In the meantime,
the refarming of the 900
MHz band creates an
opportunity for mobile
broadband to be made
available in rural areas.
Key questions
DIGITAL DIVIDEND
- What is the current status of the digital dividend?
- Is harmonisation going to be achieved in Western Europe for the 800 MHz band?
- What advantages does it bring to mobile operators?
- Which role will it play in 4G development?
900 MHz BAND REFARMING
- Why is refarming of the 900 MHz band important for 3G and 4G developments?
- How can it facilitate coverage of rural areas?
- What is the status of 900 MHz band refarming in the world?
4G SPECTRUM
- Which frequency bands are used today by mobile networks?
- Which frequency bands are going to be used for 4G networks?
- What spectrum requirements will the growth of mobile broadband create?
- What new spectrum will be available in the coming years?
- What will be the price of the new frequency bands?
