The world of mobile data is about to get faster. Especially if you depend on Verizon to get your data on the go. Verizon has just posted up on its website that it will be launching its 4G (LTE) network in December. The LTE network will be the second to launch, Sprint was the first with its 4G WiMax network.
Verizon's LTE network will allow for greater speeds on devices that support the new platform. LTE supports data rates of 5-12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2-5 Mbps on the uplink in real-world, loaded network environments. These speeds offer a dramatic increase over current 3G speeds and can rival cable broadband speeds.
According to Phonescoop.com, Verizon will be launching its LTE network in December but a specific date was not announced. While a 4G network is good news, the launch devices for the network have not been announced. Verizon is looking to continue its reputation of having the best network in the nation, so you can expect that Verizon will attempt to create the widest 4G blanket in a short amount of time to stay ahead of rival AT&T.
