ZTE Shows LTE Modems

Source: pcworld

Chinese vendor ZTE is showing off two LTE (Long Term Evolution) modems, which on paper will support mobile broadband speeds of up to 100 Mbps, at ITU Telecom World in Geneva.

The AL620 and the AL600 will both support download speeds of up 100 Mbps (bits per second) and upload speeds of up to 50 Mbps when connected to an LTE network, according to their respective spec sheets. Both modems come in the shape of a USB (Universal Serial Bus) dongle.

If there is no LTE coverage, which likely will be a common occurrence during the next couple of years, the AL620 can fall back on standard HSPA (High-Speed Packet Access) at download speeds of up 14.4 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 5.7 Mbps or HSPA+ at 42 Mbps and 11 Mbps, respectively. It can also surf the Internet using EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) and GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). The AL600 can access the Internet using HSDPA and HSPA+, but it also adds support for EV-DO Rev. A (Evolution-Data Optimized).

Qualcomm Takes Lead as 4G Patent Holder

Qualcomm looks set to be the leading patent holder in 4G wireless communications after recording 24% of ETSI declarations surrounding LTE, as well as 16% of the 26,000 patents that have potential relevance to 4G technologies generally, including WiMAX. Other notable players in the LTE field include Interdigital (18%), Huawei (10%), LG (9%), Nokia (9%) and Samsung (7%). When considering the whole 4G environment Samsung takes second spot with 12% of all patent filings, and Nokia takes third with 6%. Stuart Carlaw, chief research officer at ABI Research, comments, “Innovation in this space continues unabated. Given that these declarations reflect work completed 18 months ago, it is very feasible that this landscape could shift again during the coming two years as we see the 4G market ramp up.” He goes on to add that, “We see no major reason why the licensing situation in 4G will be significantly different from that for 3G. There is still a big list of ‘haves’ but also a large list of ‘...
