LG to demo its latest LTE technology at Mobile World Congres

LG Electronics demonstrated its improved Long Term Evolution(LTE) technology in cooperation with Nortel and Alcatel-Lucent at its booth during Mobile World Congress 2008, which is eight times faster than HSDPA.

The wireless LTE technology LG showcases this year is twice as fast as the wired technology it demonstrated last year. The technology enables downloads at up to 60Mbps and uploads at up to 40Mbps -- eight times faster than HSDPA and six times faster than HSUPA. This means that phones built for LTE networks could download a 700 megabyte movie in 90 second or a three megabyte mp3 file in 0.4 second.

The technology demonstration used an LTE handset platform developed by LG and base station technology from Nortel and Alcatel-Lucent. LG showed how this LTE technology can be used for wireless high definition video streaming, video conferencing, uploading user generated content to the internet and streaming security camera video.

According to the company, the LTE is likely to become the next standard for high speed wireless networks, as it can be added to existing WCDMA and HSDPA networks without the need to build additional infrastructure. The demonstration showed the leading roles played by LG, Nortel and Alcatel-Lucent in moving LTE toward commercial use.

Unfortunately the iPhone doesn't even have 3G yet, much less 4G (which is what LTE is). The next-gen iPhone will have 3G, but LTE in actual commercial use is several years away.
