Ericsson trials LTE Advanced with 10x the speed in Sweden

Ericsson has demonstrated the next generation of LTE networks in Sweden that promises 10 times the speed of the already fast LTE that we know today.
Called LTE Advanced, the new network uses larger chunks of carrier spectrum and extended multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) functionality to hit speeds of up to 900Mbps in the trials. The demonstration used 60MHz allocations of spectrum, compared to the 20MHz that is currently used by LTE today.
Ericsson expects the new LTE Advanced technology to be commercially viable by 2013. At that point we can expect AT&T to throw its hands up in the air and say there is just not enough spectrum available, as it is already having trouble piecing togethe... »read more
