The event started out with the thoughts of Adrian Scrase, VP of the international partnership projects for the 3GPP. As he pointed out, just a few years ago the issue was whether LTE, WiMAX or even UMB would succeed 3G – now it is not even a question. Indeed, he highlighted the astonishing pace of the development of LTE pointing out that there are over 200 operators now fully committed to rolling out LTE, and 20 networks already launched making it the fastest growing mobile technology ever. This was all the more impressive considering that a year ago TeliaSonera stood alone in having rolled out LTE.
Earlier this week the seventh annual LTE World Summit 2011 took place at the RAI, Amsterdam on the 17th-18th May 2011. The event proved a great success, attracting over 1,750 attendees, with speakers representing more than 160 operators from more than 110 different countries. Like LTE itself, this was a truly global event.
The 2011 Informa LTE Awards winners were announced on Tuesday night at a gala event that was part of the LTE World Summit in Amsterdam, where the winners were finally announced to the industry. The ceremony, held at the spectacular De Duif in Amsterdam and compered by BBC television sports journalist Rob Bonnet, saw eight companies recognised for their achievements across ten categories. There were 49 nominations.
