25 Sep 09 Verizon Wants to Launch LTE All-at-Once If Possible
The fact that Big Red is investing in LTE technology is not news anymore. Verizon wants to launch the 4G network at some point next year and it’s currently testing and deploying it in various markets. The company will make LTE available in about 30 markets next year, while its entire CDMA footprint will get LTE in three years time. According to Verizon’s CTO, Tony Melone, the company wants to launch LTE in “as close to all-at-once as possible.” This will be possible by using part of the current CDMA infrastructure which should speed up the whole deployment process.
In case you’re scared that your current equipment will not function once LTE is deployed then I’m happy you need not worry. LTE and CDMA will work together so nobody will force you to ditch your favorite 3G device in favor of a brand new 4G gadget. Biut you’ll probably want to do that after you’ve seen the difference between LTE and 3G.
