Ericsson is the clear leader in the LTE base station deployment through 2014. However,
in 2015, four cellular infrastructure vendors will realize $2 billion or more
in revenues from LTE RAN equipment sales.

 

The battle for LTE base station deployment has attracted both small and heavy
hitting suitors alike.

 

The total number of LTE macro base station deployments will reach 1.5 million in
2015, with Ericsson claiming a dominant #1 position while Huawei and
Alcatel-Lucent battle it out for the second spot.

 

Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent have become the early LTE leaders as a result of modernization contracts with
Verizon and AT&T. Nokia-Siemens Networks recently claimed a prestigious
contract win with Telecom Italia, according to In-Stat.

Kissel, analyst at In-Stat.

 

Huawei has won both A1 Telekom and T-Mobile in Austria. Samsung has been instrumental
in the MetroPCS LTE launch and will be a major factor in South Korea as their
LTE market comes online,” Kissel added.

 

In 2015, as Asia Pacific countries deploy LTE in earnest, Ericsson, Huawei,
Alcatel-Lucent, and Nokia Siemens will all have at least 10 percent of newly
deployed LTE macro base station shipments in 2015.

 

In the years 2011-2015, LTE RAN revenues will grow at a CAGR of 41 percent.

 

The top five vendors in global LTE EPC/router/gateways in 2012 will be
Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, Ericsson, Huawei, and Nokia Siemens Networks.

 

Alcatel-Lucent will dominate the LTE packet backhaul infrastructure space in Central and Latin
America in 2012, with Cisco and Ericsson assuming the #2 and #3 positions.
