LTE, the Other 4G – webcast and whitepaper
Monday, June 13th, 2011 Karen Ambrose Hickey, Editor4G offers faster wireless data transmission speeds, more coverage and support for a new generation of mobile applications and services. As 2011 progressed, we saw a move to LTE, and some HSPA+.

You can catch our recorded webcast, The Future of 4G and its Impact on Enterprise IT, about how 4G technology affects your mobile workers and, ultimately, the enterprise. The webcast covers the various 4G technologies, the opportunities for Service Providers, growth in coverage, dealing with fragmented user experiences (particularly when traveling and roaming), and how to plan with the incomplete coverage and more.
In additions, we have a new white paper, titled LTE – the Other 4G. Moving past WiMAX, this paper examines LTE and HSPA+ technologies and the implications on enterprises making mobile broadband decisions in the near term.
One of the advantages of LTE is the simplification (and cost savings) on the architecture. Until carriers can deploy LTE to available radio spectrum, they may be forced to still offer HSPA+. However, HD voice quality is on it’s way, which should help speed the turnover of 2G and 3G networks to release available spectrum. Smartphones and data usage have already driven an almost insatiable need for bandwidth. There’s bound to be more services in the future to continue to fuel this growth.
