Samsung has announced that it has developed the first commercial LTE modem for cell phones, according to Engadget. The company said that the device is the “first LTE modem that complies with the latest standards of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).”
The modem, referred to as the Kalmia for now, will support download speeds approaching 100Mbps and upload speeds in the range of 50Mbps, all within the 20MHz frequency band, according to the report–good enough for everything from Web surfing to gaming or even HD movie streaming.
We’re still a ways out from LTE network deployment in the U.S., but it’s good to know that when the time comes, Samsung will be ready.
