After months of rumors and speculation, Clearwire finally announces the transition to LTE

The day has finally come, Clearwire has announced that they will be WiMAX switch, the Intel support 4 G standard that is supported no one to LTE, which is almost any operator in the world: in the roll-out or has plans at some point in the future roll-out. They have not known, when the transition will take place, but she got some rough details what they BREW have offer. This change first, "is subject to additional funding", which is a fancy way of saying that they are broken and, if some greenbacks investors cough, its LTE strategy nothing more than a series of doodles on a bar remains napkin. Secondly, they go to the TDD (time division duplex) taste of LTE, not FDD (frequency division duplex) use. The latter more widely deployed most operators in possession, as paired spectrum. Don't worry about the details, because it doesn't affect you in any direct way. Third, their LTE will be "LTE-advanced ready", which in our view means that she have a network incredibly advanced radio network, not more than one software update will have, need to get the main feature of LTE-advanced is the channel binding. Use LTE to channels that can beam up to 20 MHz, with LTE-advanced combine 5 of these channels to get an incredible bandwidth; Ericsson recently demonstrated LTE-advanced in Sweden using 3 x 20 MHz connected channels, and they broke almost 1 GB/S.

Talk about speed, experiments with Clearwire of proposed LTE network are now complete, and show them, that, that they can reliably deliver "download speeds of more than 120 Mbit / S", which is impressive, but how deep is that number go as soon as their 7.65 million clients in the network jump? If you are a single engineer in a loaded with equipment van driving around, of course, you get some insane speed test results.

No more details, not we really can any more details on the planned transition, but we are incredibly pleased that it has finally happened.
