Super Speed 3G coming
Silicon.com reports that some of the biggest names in telecoms are clubbing together to work on a standard that could boost mobile speeds to 100Mbps - while today's 3G connectivity seems positively zippy at 1.8Mbps.
Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Nokia, Nokia Siemens Networks, Nortel, Orange and its parent company France Telecom, T-Mobile and Vodafone have all announced their intention to work together on promoting LTE (long term evolution), a super high speed version of 3G.
The collaboration, under the banner of the LTE/SAE (Systems Architecture Initiative) Trial Initiative, will start work this month with a view to showcasing the standard.
... It's thought LTE networks will start to be rolled out from 2009 to 2010 and could cost operators $18bn."
