Real world LTE tests done in Austria with 20 electric cell towers: 4.4 megabytes/secant down feather, 21 ms ping

T-Mobile River (NYSE: DT) has been acting a few real world LTE tests in Austrian capital, Austria (not the metropolis of Fucking, Austria) to get a better estimate of what the technology is capable of. It’s one matter to frame-up a ace LTE tower and then be the only single connected to it, giving you ungodly results of over 170 megabits per second, but what about the real number world? Towers ar often interfering with each other, and that degrades performance, not to mention there is usually more than one person connected to a tugboat at a given meter, unless you live in the forest or something. With 20 LTE towers setup, exploitation the 2.6 gigahertz frequency, a downlink speed of 35 megabits/sec (4.37 megabytes/sec) and an uplink speed of 31 megabits/sec (3.88 megabytes/sec) was achieved, all while organism able to ping a server frame-up at T-Mobile River’s headquarters in only 21 milliseconds compared to an HSPA network where it is over 100 ms. This was done exploitation a 20 MHz wide aircraft carrier, unlike the current 5 megahertz wide aircraft carrier used today in HSPA networks. If we do some simple mathematics, that would mean if operators simply upgraded their HSPA equipment to LTE equipment today, we can expect 8.75 megabits down (1.09 megabytes/sec) and 7.75 megabits up (0.97 megabytes/secant), all while distillery enjoying that deliciously first gear ping meter.

Now before you start drooling, net ball me remind you that LTE is a long shipway off from launch, and even when it does it is departure to be an even longer ways off until you’re going to have a mobile earphone with an LTE wireless inside. The first LTE devices volition most likely be USB dongles suspension off laptops. A Nokia (New York Stock Exchange: NOK) N/Eseries device or an iPhone with LTE is easily a 2012 matter. Start saving your pennies because it isn’t going to be cheap.
