Alternative Mobile Broadband Access shows how mobile network operators have so far concentrated on deploying FDD WCDMA technology to drive subscriber usage of 3G services - and therefore help increase revenues.

With FDD WCDMA turning out to be very good at supporting voice, but not nearly as good for high-speed data, mobile operators need to investigate the TDD-based alternative broadband technologies which will enable them to successfully launch the high speed data services they have been relying on to increase ARPU.

Alternative Mobile Broadband Access from Baskerville, publishers of 3G Mobile Newsletter, provides a clear, comprehensive picture of the market for Alternative Mobile Broadband Technologies and its key players. The report analyses the industry standards, technologies available, both public and proprietary, and profiles 7 vendors able to offer alternative mobile broadband technologies, including Arraycom, Flarion Technologies and IPWireless.
