It’s the hot term for new Mobile Broadband technology. LTE, or Long Term Evolution as it’s referred to, is the next evolutionary step in the Mobile Broadband market and Vodafone says that it has the capability to rival Fixed Line Broadband.
LTE, which will also be known as 4G, has flexible bandwidth limitations from 1.4MHz up to 20MHz and theoretically, has the potential to pump out peak broadband speeds of up to 100Mbps. These broadband speeds far outweigh Australia’s current residential available broadband types that only offer speeds of up to 30Mbps (Cable Broadband). LTE’s potential would also rival that of Australia’s upcoming National Broadband Network technology ‘Fibre-to-the-Home’ at 100Mbps. Cheap Mobile Broadband LTE plans may be sometime away yet, but there speed alone will be well worth the wait!
Amazing isn’t it. All the talk of the NBN, which will take 8 years to construct, and yet, Mobile Broadband – thanks to LTE, has the ability to be available in Australia in less than half the respective NBN completion time and provide the same speeds.Â
Vodafone has recently been stated as claiming the new 4G technology will also deliver the described speeds and are keen to update their Mobile Broadband networks with LTE technology. Although Vodafone is speaking up the future possibilities of LTE, it’s believed that LTE developer ‘Ericsson’ will not have the technology in place for infrastructure development until 2012.
