Nokia Siemens completes LTE trial

December 28th, 2007 by Jose Manuel Cristobal

 

The Nokia Siemens joint venture focused on network hardware announced several weeks ago the beginning of 2.6 Ghz band LTE trials. Now, at the end of 2007 we know that the tests have been a big success, reaching 173 Mbps during a Berlin based test.

173Mbps WOW!!! Well, it has been at best conditions possible, but even a 25% of that speed would be impressive nowadays. Recall that LTE is years away from being commercially launched, but this kind of news is the best publicity campaign possible for such a new technology. Isn’t it?
