That we work on the network expansion of BASE with high pressure, we have addressed in various articles. We have also reported that E-Plus has launched its first LTE field trials . What counts at the end of the day however, is not the standard in which frequency is used, but that you are satisfied with the result. This is the quintessence of an interview of cold anbieter.info with Dirk Poppen, the head of technology strategy.
cold anbieter.info: How far is E-Plus with the expansion of its HSPA and HSDPA + networks?
Dirk Poppen (DP): "the E-Plus Group Center escalated last year the extension and the equipment of their data networks with HSDPA and above all HSPA + massively." In many regions, the network is already equipped with HSPA +. "Weekly new transmitting stations time."
cold anbieter.info: Development of LTE sites was not initially planned. Where the change of heart?
DP:"it here not a change of heart is available, probably a misunderstanding." Focus on upgrading and the development of data networks, the standard HSPA + will be this and next year clearly. UMTS/HSPA is the best option for our customers at the time and in the near future, when it comes to high-speed data transfer and connection quality at best prices. "At the same time with field tests, the company prepares network for the introduction of LTE in the E-plus."
cold anbieter.info: In the online portal Golem E-plus spokesman Guido Heitmann as follows quoted: "we build HSPA + now and if we desire at some point, we press the button, and then have a LTE station." How is this statement to understand?
DP: "E plus the company that purchases only recently available, latest technology sets in the development of its data on the State of the art technology, da." The new broadcasting stations use flexible network elements that can support both technologies, i.e. HSPA + and LTE. That is, the new stations be used first for HSPA +, can be but very easy to switch to LTE or extended.
If the decision for a roll-out of LTE in the network of E-Plus Group, these are primarily software switch or set. "This brings the advantage that the conversion quickly and easily can be done on LTE at the right time."
cold anbieter.info: What strategy is E-plus in terms of mobile browsing? What technology will allow customers in the long term view, mobile broadband Internet?
DP: "how many experts the E-Plus Group assumes that HSPA + in the medium term will remain the 'workhorse' in the data networks." The UMTS/HSPA + networks are rolled out already extensively and deliver the same data rates such as LTE for a longer period of time. These are more than sufficient data rates for the mass market. It is also, that even today a large number of UMTS/HSPA + smartphones and data modems are available at attractive prices in the market.
The UMTS technology even until now comes with the growing market of data to full bloom. Similar to in the introduction of UMTS in the year 2000, it will take some years to LTE will be similar to available. Until then LTE will establish parallel and both technologies will coexist years. Only the customer perspective is crucial. "The technology is ultimately the customer, they require comes in handy to fast broadband and not to any letter combinations."
What is with you? Do you follow for the LTE technology?
