The Fourth generation (4G) Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard for cellular communications represents a substantial leap forward in terms of capacity and services capabilities. However, it also presents a unique challenge as its all-IP nature exposes vulnerabilities that were heretofore not substantial concerns. LTE network planners need to address many physical and logical security aspects. For example, there is a critical need to protect the communication links between Ues, base stations, and the EPC network from protocol attacks and physical intrusions.
This research is highly recommended for anyone involved in LTE network planning, device procurement, and/or application development and management. The report evaluates the state of threats (malware, cyber-attacks, etc.), solutions, and the overall market for wireless security in cellular with an emphasis on LTE and M2M networks. This report includes forecasting for the period 2015 - 2020. All purchases of Mind Commerce reports includes time with an expert analyst who will help you link key findings in the report to the business issues you're addressing.
