1 Gbps TD-LTE Wireless Speeds

[4GHoward]

It looks like Nokia Siemens is testing TD-LTE Wireless Speeds at 1 Gbps. Will Clearwire go 1 Gbps for TD-LTE or keep it at 100 Mbps?

And the test was done in just 60MHz of bandwidth? I wonder what 100MHz of bandwidth would have done? I don't think we will see this at the beginning with Clearwire, but maybe down the road it's sure possible.

[ChadBroChillz]

I know. That was just 60mhz. I hope clearwire works with NSN. This along with their "Six Pipe" radio head would really push Clearwire in the forefront of LTE speeds and capacity in cities. I am more shocked at the fact that they were getting 300+Mbps per 20mhz carrier.

 

 

Does anyone know if Clear plans on continuing their retail service once LTE gets turned on? I so totally want those type of speeds with unlimited in my home.

Too bad they are already in a contract with Ericsson.

The major supplier of Clearwire, DragonWave, announced today an agreement with Nokia Siemens Networks' microwave transport business. That might be good news since DragonWave's largest customer is Clearwire.

Verizon and AT&T users can use their capped 2 GB plans for the month in less than 3 seconds!

[ChadBroChillz]

I do not think Clearwire will have problems with Ericsson. They have gotten 968Mbps using 60mhz of spectrum. This is however 8x8 MIMO.

You beat me to it. I was just about to type the same thing until I refreshed first and saw your post.

 

What's the point of these insanely high speeds with such low caps on all the data plans these companies have?

The qualifying prepositional phrase "with such low caps on all the data plans these companies have" is unnecessary. The above question alone is sufficient.

I think we should take it one step further and all just talk like Yoda.

That's obvious.... I need to stream several HD movies at once. It's the only way I have time to watch them all since I spend so much time reading the forums on S4GRU.

"Unnecessary, the qualifying phrase is. Sufficient alone, the question is."

 

How is that?

To gouge their customers and make tons of money on data overage fees. ;-)

[tampaflusa]

Could that speed really make any difference on a phone? Web pages can only render so fast, and it depends on the server as well.

[Odell]

We need these speeds so that Google Instant will show our search results before we even know what we wanted to search for. No longer will it be information when you want it. It will now be information before you need it.

[bigsnake49]

I think those speeds are for stationary terminals, not mobile. Not many phones can accommodate 8x8 MIMO. But it does brings to mind that Clearwire can go after home internet connections or even bundle home and mobile access. Now, can you imagine how much power the radio amplifiers will draw for a 100MHz channel? Yikes!

Probably too much power. I only see standard sized Clear modems using that sort of power and connection. USB devices are just too small and the USB port just can't push enough power to it to use that kind of power. But we just won't know until Clearwire starts the upgrade next year.

I'm guessing some may have already seen these videos of trials in Phoenix, AZ. early 2011.

Clearwire, Sequans Fine Tuning TD-LTE

Straight from John Saw (via Kevin Fitchard at GigaOm), the Clearwire plan is to deploy a TD-LTE 20 MHz carrier, later to follow up with another TD-LTE 20 MHz carrier for 40 MHz carrier aggregation. Plans do not extend to 60 MHz, 80 MHz, nor 100 MHz bandwidth. So, can we now put to bed the ridiculous carrier aggregation and peak speed speculation?

As a follow up thought to John Saw's statements referenced above, Clearwire might consider dropping many of its EBS 2600 MHz leases as it shutters WiMAX over the next few years. That would cut costs, yet Clearwire would still retain up to 55.5 MHz of contiguous BRS 2600 MHz spectrum (BRS2, E, F, H blocks), which would jive nicely with Clearwire's TD-LTE 40 MHz bandwidth plans.

I do not see this as a good idea, especially if they want to be a wholesaler. ATT/Verizon have said by 2014 many areas will become spectrally constrained.
