Alcatel-Lucent Wireless Broadband for All Solution 5
The Key Challenges: Access and Affordability
Governments and policy makers recog-
nize that broadband technology plays
a powerful role in social and economic
development. And market analysts
estimate that the addressable broadband
wireless access market in emerging
countries will reach $10 billion in 2008.
But despite the clear need for broad-
band services, in many emerging markets
there is often a shortage of fixed infrastruc-
ture, such as DSL or cable TV networks.
And when networks are available, their
quality is often inadequate — or the
infrastructure may be designed exclu-
sively for high-end users.
Wireless technologies allow service
providers to extend the reach of their
network rapidly and cost effectively and
provide access to a larger subscriber base.
To accelerate broadband deployment to
the mass market, the network must also
operate at a low cost to ensure services
are affordable to the end user and
profitable for the service provider. The
Alcatel-Lucent Wireless Broadband for
All solution uses innovation to address
the cost constraints in high-growth
markets. Products are optimized to address
issues around coverage, capacity, power
consumption, civil site engineering, and
quality of service. Solutions are focused
on providing lowest cost per subscriber,
lowest cost per site, lowest cost per km²,
and lowest cost per MB to cost effectively
connect all populations in all areas: dense
urban, suburban, rural and remote areas.
The Alcatel-Lucent Wireless Broadband
for All Solution meets all of these key
requirements.
