Huawei Claims 30Gbps Wireless 'Beyond LTE'

Posted by timothy on from the offer-void-in-australia dept.

shreshtha writes "Huawei says it has 'recently introduced ... Beyond LTE technology, which significantly increases peak rates to 30Gbps — over 20 times faster than existing commercial LTE networks.' It claims to have achieved this with 'key breakthroughs in antenna structure, radio frequency architecture, IF (intermediate frequency) algorithms, and multi-user MIMO (multi-input multi-output).'"

  1. Who are all these people who need 4G? by melted · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm not a luddite, I work in high tech, but could someone explain the lure of 4G to me? I can already stream video on 3G, I can send and receive email in arbitrary volumes, browse the web, everything is reasonably speedy. Why would I want this kind of speed? I'd rather carriers focused on building up the capacity for the existing 3G devices and improving the efficiency of spectrum utilization (so that 3G would not crap out in SF and NY), and handset manufacturers focused on battery life. I couldn't care less about loading a web page half a second sooner, if the price for it is half a day in battery life and cap on my data plan.
