LTE in Docomo

NTT Docomo Inc. (NYSE: DCM) outlined its Long Term Evolution (LTE) rollout and capex plans Friday as it reported its fiscal third-quarter results and provided an update on smart phone and tablet sales.

The Japanese giant, which launched its LTE service in late December, expects to have 1,000 base stations operational by the close of its current financial year at the end of March -- 800 in Tokyo, and 100 each in Nagoya and Osaka. By that time it will have invested ¥35 billion (US$426 million) in its LTE network. (See NTT Docomo Launches LTE Service.)

In the financial year that ends March 2012, the operator, which has high hopes that LTE will be robust enough to support enterprise cloud services, expects to invest a further ¥100 billion ($1.22 billion) to take its total LTE base station number to 5,000, enough to cover 20 percent of Japan's 127 million population. (See Docomo Links LTE to the Cloud.)

In the following fiscal year it plans to invest another ¥170 billion ($2.07 billion) to take the LTE base station count to 15,000.

By March 2015, NTT Docomo expects to have rolled out 35,000 LTE base stations covering 70 percent of the Japanese population. By that time it's aiming to have 15 million LTE customers.

And then it just gets better for Docomo's LTE infrastructure suppliers. (See NEC Supplies More LTE to DoCoMo, Fujitsu Ships LTE RAN to DoCoMo, Stoke Lands LTE Gig at DoCoMo, NTT DoCoMo Picks AlcaLu and DoCoMo Backhauls With NEC.)

Apple iPhone 5 May Run On China Mobile TD-SCDMA Network

The chairman of China Mobile, the world's biggest mobile phone operator by subscribers, has confirmed that Apple will support TD-LTE, which means that a TD-SCDMA iPhone 5 may be in the pipeline.

According to a report published by Recuters, China Mobile has been discussing with China Mobile pretty much since the phone has been launched and always wanted to get a model that uses the proprietary TD-SCDMA 3G technology.

Now that Apple launched its first CDMA mode for Verizon Wireless a few week ago, chances that a third version will emerge are higher than ever before. Wang said at a conference in Davos that "These two years we have been discussing the issue. Right now the situation is moving forward. Apple has made it clear they will support TD-LTE."

The iPhone is available in China through China Unicom, the second biggest mobile operator in the country. However, China Mobile has more than three times the number of mobile phone customers than China Unicom and the fact that Apple sold out its complete iPhon e4 stock on the first day means that there's a huge demand for Apple product.

In addition, the four Apple stores in China were the highest-trafficked, and highest earners in the world with revenue for China - as revealed in the world with revenue for China - as revealed in the last Q1 press conference - increased four fold compared to the previous quarter.
