Nokia 4G test successful


Nokia announced the 4G test "long term evolution"(LTE) wireless technology was a success, it was one of its kind. This test was carried in urban environment using the spectrum of 2.65GH z, the peak download speed at this spectrum recorded 173Mbps; this was the best result then all earlier tests. LTE can provide the combination of bandwidth, range, scalability, and low power that users will expect from a 4G service.

The prototype base station was installed for ongoing LTE tests at the top of the Heinrich Hertz Institute building in Berlin, in urban where interference typically degrades bandwidth. Test featured multiple users connected to the new base station, giving the 173Mbps throughput was the real world peak. They also tested the LTE by putting terminals into cars and driving them 1 km away from the base station.

“We can demonstrate that LTE meets the high expectations set for this new technology,” said Nokia’s Matthias Reiss in a prepared statement. “Most importantly, we now have evidence that future LTE networks can run on existing base station sites and mobile operators can build LTE networks without requiring new antenna sites.”
