UK : 3G LTE networks and subscribers are set to rise at a fast pace with the number of 3G LTE subscribers expected to rise to over 100 million by 2014. A new 3G LTE report by Juniper Research states that numbers will be boosted by laptops with embedded modems, MP3 players and even digital cameras.

The report outlines that while subscribers will in the main come from users with smart phones and laptops there will also be a drive to connect devices within the home via 3G LTE.
One of the factors which will affect the takeup of 3G LTE services as outlined in the report is what exactly will a smart phone be capable of in say 3 years time.
Report author Howard Wilcox commented: "There is intense activity in the LTE market right now, with in excess of 30 network operator commitments. Operators and vendors alike are moving rapidly to jump on the road to LTE, attracted by the connectivity-based opportunities that the technology offers. Sony, for example, announced that network connectivity is one of 3 top priority actions."
The 3G LTE report findings also include :
- Whilst early LTE adopters will be enterprise subscribers, consumers will begin to take up LTE based services towards 2012/2013.
- There will be multiple millions of LTE subscribers as early as 2011.
- Embedded LTE chipsets will become the second most popular means of access behind SIM cards by 2014.
LTE Whitepaper and further details of the study, "LTE Mobile Broadband Strategies: Consumer & Enterprise Markets; Devices & Chipsets 2009-2014" can be freely downloaded from the Juniper Research website.
