LG will demonstrate the world’s first mobile device with LTE support
Company LG Electronics announced that demonstrate at the Mobile World Congress GSMA first map data based on technology standards 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE).
This map data is independently developed by LG modem chip. It is the most important element in the creation of a competitive phone 4G technology LTE, which has the greatest chance to be recognized as a technological standard for the fourth-generation mobile phones. Developed by LG that the chip – an important step in creating a competitive phone standard 4G. Phones based on the LTE could theoretically maintain speed wireless downloads from the network to 100 Mbps and download speeds in the network to 50 Mbps when using two antennas.
During a company LG will demonstrate the universality of the map data LTE by connecting the three maps to three different devices. Among these devices: a laptop, and netbuk prototype mobile internet device (MID). Also, LG plans to demonstrate one of the first prototypes of a smartphone with a built-technology LTE. These four devices will be running various applications such as streaming HD-video, video conferencing, video on demand, and the browser view Web pages.
The chip, which will be presented by LG, is able to provide wireless download speeds up to 60 Mbps and download speeds up to 20 Mbps. There are currently represented on the market phones with HSDPA technology, the maximum download speed of 7.6 Mbps.
Phones and other mobile devices based on technology LTE can download multimedia and other information 10 times faster than current standard 3G. This means that mobile broadband service will be able to compete with traditional wired connections, or even his work faster.
Most of the leading mobile operators are the supporters of 4G technology based on LTE, as it represents the next phase of development of existing technology 3GPP. The use of 4G technology will allow operators providing services to WCDMA and CDMA, to upgrade their networks to LTE with a much lower cost compared with the creation of new networks based on different technologies.
According to market research company Strategy Analytics, sales of handsets supporting LTE doubled from 70 million copies in 2012 to 150 million copies in 2013.
In addition to using LTE technology in mobile phones, LG plans to introduce in the near future high-speed telecommunications services to NetBooks LTE and mobile Internet devices.
