The diagram shows the principal TMA benefits for an operator. The operator can launch the system at an earlier date and at a reduced infrastructure cost, allowing for a market-leading position. This will lead to an increase in market share, and in turn to more rapid revenue growth. The time to break even for the operator will be shortened and operators will maintain high profitability in their operation. In the future, a lot of services requiring high data transmission rates are expected.
Examples are games, video online, etc.
Most of these types of services are expected to be downlink oriented. This excess-capacity can be put to profitable use already day one with the help of LGP's TMA program. In the downlink over-balance diagram below, the degree of uplink improvement using LGP TMAs can be seen. The improvement can be traded for either an increase in uplink capacity with a maintained cell area, or for an increased cell area with maintained capacity as viewed in the uplink improvement diagram. The increased capacity can be used to serve existing users in the cell with higher data rate or to add more users to the cell.
