LTE: Is the world redefining the wireless experience with LTE 4G.
In 2009 Alcatel Lucent in some way projected the vision of how the world will be connected wireless using LTE 4G networks, as you can watch on the video below.
Microsoft is promising Office 15 on a car, on a train , on a bus, on a plane and of course on any device, seamlessly connected. It looks like the original idea that WebOS would eventually be the operating system linking a wide range of connected devices , has been contagious to every mobile brand software and hardware manufacturer, at this time.
The question is : Are the worldwide carriers networks ready for this wireless experience Alcatel Lucent vision LTE 4G at this time, after 3 years now?
Countries worldwide have to overtake their diverse frecuencies range, pointing to an standard on LTE networks.
700MHz and 2,100MHz are used in North America,
800MHz and 2,600MHz in Western Europe, the Middle East and Africa,
800MHz, 1,800MHz, 2,300MHz and 2,600MHz in Eastern Europe,
and 1,800MHz and 2,100MHz in Asia Pacific.
The frequency bands adopted for LTE networks around the world in 2015 will have 38 combinations, with 700MHz to have the largest proportion at 16%, 2,100MHz to have 13%, 2,600MHz 11% and 2,500MHz 10%, the sources cited Wireless Intelligence under the GSMA as indicating.
LTE smartphones, tablets and any mobile devices not supporting the frequency bands adopted in a region cannot be used for roaming, an essential problem that chip designers and smartphone makers need to cooperate to solve.
So, when this convergence point will happen to have all your wide range of simultaniouslessly connected devices via LTE 4G?
