In the event the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Ericsson broke the world record by displaying data through a technology transfer long term evolution (LTE) or 4G speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second for the downlink.
Demonstration for the first time in the world using the latest technology and multicarrier multiple-input-multiple-output, MIMO, and runs on a commercial LTE from Ericsson. By combining these technologies, speed up to 1 gigabit per second can be achieved. The demonstration uses four wide-band network with each for a total 20 MHz bandwidth 80 MHz and used 4 x 4 MIMO, the data sent through the interface over the air on four bit-stream is independent.
LTE, mobile communication technology future, allowing large data transfer is fast with an efficient and cost effective through the optimization of the frequency spectrum. With increasing cutting speed and latency, consumers can enjoy a variety of applications, such as the web in realtime, online game, social media collaboration and video conferencing more easily whenever and wherever they may be. LTE will meet the needs of Internet applications move to new and more sophisticated in the future.
"Our mission is to connect the device to 50 billion in 2020. The whole device and any favorable circumstances should be connected as one. Patients can communicate with the hospital from a distance, students from remote areas will be in touch with universities throughout the world, the safety of workers will send live video from the affected areas for a more efficient response, "said Johan Wibergh, Head of Networks and Executive Vice President, in a press release received Kompas.com, Thursday (17/2/2010) .
Currently Ericsson has signed contracts with five commercial LTE in the world's leading operators, namely AT & T in the United States, Verizon in the United States, TeliaSonera in Norway and Sweden, MetroPCS in the United States, and DoCoMo in Japan.
