The LTE (Long-Term Evolution) modems shown at ITU Telecom World are still very much under development and will be ready to ship toward the end of next year, according to vendors.
ZTE has provided the most detailed specifications of its upcoming modems.
Currently, it's waiting for Qualcomm to start shipping the commercial chipsets. That will happen in September, which will leave it just enough time to get products out before the end of the year, said Xiaodong Zhu, CTO at ZTE in Western Europe, in an interview at the telecom conference.
But the operators aren't convinced that ZTE and the other modem manufacturers will be able to do that. A unanimous panel of operators, including AT&T, NTT DOCOMO and Telefónica, voiced concerns about their ability to have devices ready by the end of next year.
