"Even though growth is slowing down in some of the more advanced Mobile Broadband (MBB) markets, we are now seeing great demand for LTE in other markets, particularly Europe, with LTE RAN revenues more than doubling year-over-year", said Stefan Pongratz, Director of Mobile RAN research at the Dell'Oro Group.

Other highlights from the 3Q13 quarterly market share report:

Ericsson maintained its dominant position in LTE with a 15 point four-quarter trailing share lead over number two, Huawei.
Alcatel-Lucent passed NSN to take the number three spot in LTE RAN revenue share in the quarter. NSN maintained the number three LTE position on a four-quarter trailing basis.
Total RAN market is expected to grow in 2014, as growth in China offsets declines in the U.S. and Japan.
