As you’ve probably heard, Verizon Wireless is preparing to launch its LTE network later in the year (newly discovered leaked documents additionally prove this). It won’t be a full blown launch across the country, but most likely a limited rollout with only specific markets being covered at start.
On that note, check out what we’ve discovered. The LG-made LTE-based USB modem for the Big Red carrier has been approved by the FCC! The model number is VL600 and it can sing along both CDMA EV-DO network at 850 and 1900 MHz, and LTE at 700 MHz. Dual-mode baby, meaning it can work in any part of the U.S. – even in places where there are no LTE signals around.
Speaking of “signal areas,” Verizon is testing the LTE network in Boston and Seattle as you read this, hinting us about the first “blessed by the LTE” places.
Exact launch date of the new network is still a mystery, but we’ll definitely talk about it the second we hear something new. Stay tuned in the meantime. 😉
