Today, Verizon Wireless has continued its push in network advancement by launching 28 more markets with its blazing fast 4G technology, LTE. Now the company offers 4G coverage in more than 100 cities throughout the United States.
LTE (long term evolution) is Verizon’s 4G network that is said to get wireless speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G (downloads at 5 to 12 mbps and uploads at 2 to 5 mbps) and Verizon plans to do a lot more than just stream your entertainment to your phone with LTE. Verizon has not only rolled out nine 4G handsets, three of which are Smartphone’s, but also rolled out a tablet, two hotspots and three USB modems.
“On Thursday, when we light up 28 additional 4G LTE markets, we will offer consumers and businesses in 102 metropolitan areas the most advanced 4G wireless network on the planet, while continuing to offer the nation’s most reliable 3G network coast to coast,” said David Small, chief technical officer of Verizon Wireless. “In fewer than eight months we have introduced our 4G LTE network to more than 100 markets and we are continuing to aggressively expand our 4G LTE network; by the end of 2013 we plan to bring 4G LTE mobile broadband to our entire 3G coverage area.”
