This week sees the finalisation of 3G's long term successor, the fourth generation 'Long Term Evolution' (LTE) which will offer peak download speeds up to a remarkable 326Mbps (megabits per second). Uploads will peak at 86Mbps.
As with the trials of 100Mbit 'Super 3G' last year, the process has the backing of the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) - a group formed by industry heavyweights Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, France Telecom/Orange, Nokia, Nokia Siemens Networks, Nortel, T-Mobile and Vodafone which also counts China Mobile, Huawei, LG Electronics, NTT DoCoMo, Samsung, Signalion, Telecom Italia and ZTE amongst its ranks. So basically what it says, goes.
Could this solve broadband problems in this country?
