Ericsson and TeliaSonera today announced the signing of a commercial LTE network. The roll-out of the 4G mobile broadband network will offer the highest data rates ever realized, with the best interactivity and quality. This network will cover Sweden’s capital Stockholm and the contract is Ericsson’s first for commercial deployment of LTE.
Your friends on your social networking site will always be just a click away. You can read on-line multimedia newspapers effortlessly and even watch your favorite on-demand TV show in HD (High Definition) quality wherever you are, whenever you find time.
These functions can be possible for mobile broadband customers in the 4G network, based on LTE. The new 4G network will do for broadband what mobile telephony did for voice. With real-time performance, and about 10 times higher data rates compared to today’s mobile broadband networks, consumers can always be connected, even on the move.
I suppose the key question we want the answer to is: HOW MUCH BANDWIDTH DO I GET?
At the moment, I get 3.6Mbps from my HSDPA Broadband Modem, so what shall we say would be reasonable? Ten times that? Time will tell…. and we will report on it!
Thanks to Ben Howington for the info!
