 Fast-Growing Support in the Ecosystem
“We believe that LTE Broadcast will become a key component in addressing
the exponential growth in mobile multimedia and application download
traffic” Peggy Johnson, President of Global Market Development

Lowell McAdam said he wanted Verizon to offer live broadcast TV over

4G LTE - a goal that might allow for the airing of the Super Bowl over its
network in the “2014 timeframe”
PCMAG.COM reporting on Verizon CEO keynote speech at CES 2013

“There is strong demand by operators for LTE Broadcast technology and it

is important that mobile operators have a global and mature ecosystem”
Alain Biston, LTE Business Unit Vice President

"AT&T's focus is now almost all about architecting networks to deliver

video and that will be where AT&T will spend the most capital over the
next three years. AT&T is developing a ‘broadcast capability’ to remove
video traffic from its wide-area wireless networks.“
Randall L. Stephenson, CEO

 LTE Broadcast is Strategic for MNOs
• To optimize network ressources when the same content
– is accessed by several users at the same time (live TV)
– Is downloaded by numerous users in a short time (OS upgrades, newspapers, etc)
– can be preloaded instead of being accessed real-time (highly popular videos, …)

• To solve technical limitations of unicast networks

– When concentration of users forbids the use of extensive unicast (stadiums,
venues…)

• To enable new services

– Localized push (news, advertising, coupons…)
– 24/7 updates of eMagazines
– Emergency alerts

 Other LTE Broadcast Business Cases

• Mobile TV Service is quite popular:

• For example in France: 1,5 million active subs for a single operator
• It is available at both 3G and WiFi, and 60% are viewing it over 3G / 40% at home over
wifi, despite the poor video quality in densely populated areas

• Operators have built partnerships with several publishing houses and radio networks

• Operators are looking for differentiating services using LTE Broadcast

• According to the studies LTE Broadcast will add value to these following services:
• Live TV – to increase the quality of the service
• Sport Events – to make sure that the network matches the audience demand
• eMagazines delivery – to deliver highly responsive user experience
• Radio – to replace FM radio and to add extra pay services
