Verizon Wireless to Launch 4G LTE Service in 30 U.S. Cities2010-09-16 09:27 by DanielaTags: Verizon, 4G, LTE
Verizon Wireless told enterprise IT managers at a meeting here Sept. 15 that it plans to light up 30 "National Football League Cities" in the United States with its 4G LTE wireless network by the end of 2010. The remainder of the country will get this 4G service in stages until the entire nation has access to Verizon Wireless' 4G network by 2013, according to Bernie McMonagle, a Verizon senior federal sales executive. Verizon officials would not specify which cities will gain 4G service in 2010 other than to say they are major metropolitan areas. McMonagle said he expects to see 4G initially being used by laptop wireless cards and by devices that could potentially monitor everything from traffic sensors to refrigerators. Because of the economies of scale that come from using Verizon's global, standards-based approach to LTE, he said, he expects the prices of such devices to drop quickly and for them to become virtually ubiquitous. As envisioned, the Verizon Wireless 4G network would use a flat IP addressing model, much like what you'd find in an enterprise network. Read more -here-
