Technology Evaluation

LCC helps clients with technology selection and the evaluation and selection of infrastructure, based on their fit with the business drivers. This service can also include management and development of technology strategy and future migration paths.

With each generation of wireless technology (2G, 3G and 4G), operators have faced technology choices, or, where technology choices are clear, need to know what to expect from an emerging technology. LCC has significant experience not only comparing technologies, but also evaluating individual wireless technologies.

Technologies can be evaluated and compared from various aspects, including the following:

  • Timing of availability
  • Supported spectrum
  • Expected performance, in terms of maximum and average data rates, cell throughput or capacity, latency, etc.
  • Typical expected cell coverage radii
  • Transport and core network requirements
  • Planned evolution of technology
  • Expected timing of availability of different types of user devices
  • Features and benefits

The result of such a comparative analysis can help companies in selecting the appropriate wireless technology, matching to their business needs, or in providing realistic expectations from a particular technology.  LCC, being a wireless engineering company, has experience across all wireless technologies.  Technology evaluation can be performed not only across major wireless technologies, but also for ancillary technologies such as wireless indoor coverage solutions, etc.Additional Strategic Consulting Services
