Abstract: As the next- generation mobile broadband networks , Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) continue to improve the mobile broadband performance and capacity by allowing operators to leverage new spectrum with wider bandwidths of 10 MHz and more . This will in turn enable the operators to address exciting market opportunities and service proliferation in high tele - density areas . This article discusses the drivers for the next- generation mobile broadband networks , and market opportunities of UMB and LTE. There are at least three key drivers for the networks : increasing device capabilities ; growing mobile data consumption ; and maintaining operator profitability. The opportunities include laptops , Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs ) and fixed broadband access , premium Video on Demand (VOD)/Music on Demand (MOD) services , multimedia upload and exchange services , consumer electronics and business applications for vertical markets .
