Zacks.com submits:
US wireless kingpin Verizon (VZ) has reported that the field testing of its 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) wireless broadband network in Boston and Seattle have demonstrated encouraging throughput levels. These two cities are expected to be the initial markets where 4G LTE services will be commercially available in 2010.
Trails in these two test sites have shown the potential of achieving peak downlink speeds of 40 to 50 megabits per second (Mbps) and peak uplink speeds of 20 to 25 Mbps, significantly faster than the current 3G deployments. This represents a major milestone in Verizon’s first phase of 4G trial process, providing the roadmap for future test launches.
