Tele2 has a big challenge ahead when providing LTE to 99% of the Swedish population building in both urban areas and sparesly inhabited remote areas. Using LTE on 800Mhz, 900Mhz and 2600Mhz in synergy, this can be done in a cost- and techically effective way. As the first operator devoting 900Mhz spectrum for LTE this also has implied in challenges that Tele2 believes we now have solved

Over a year has passed since the commercial introduction of LTE, and DOVADO is the first router supplier to have added support for commercial USB modems. The typical user is no longer confined to using the modem in a single computer (while fending off other family members from using it!), but is now able to connect the entire home via a single point of access. A lot has happened since the era of 3G, and DOVADO will point out some nifty new possibilities only thanks to LTE

Over last years the support of voice services in LTE has been discussed in detail resulting into different approaches in order to provide the service. This talk will explain solutions like simultaneous voice/data involving two radios (SV LTE), Voice over LTE using IMS (VoLTE) and CS fallback (CSFB) relying on existing 2G / 3G technologies. Finally relevant test strategies are presented.
