London Needs 70,000 Cells For 4G

Posted by samzenpus on from the add-a-few-more dept.

judgecorp writes "How many cells does it take to cover a city? In London's case, it will take 70,000 cells by 2015 for the next-generation LTE network needed for 4G mobile broadband, according to a calculation from PicoChip. A shame that's too late for 2012, when Mayor Boris Johnson warns that mobile data demands during the Olympics may overload the current 3G network"

    We'll need it.

    I couldn't care less about the Olympics. I will happily watch it on TV wherever it might be - I just don't want to have to clear up after everybody has buggered off. I also don't want the cleaning bill. Unfortunately, the government did me over desk with that one so I'll have to live with it...
