Nokia Siemens Networks has launched new 4G devices which will allow consumers to enjoy broadband access up to 102 Mbps downlink and 51 Mbps uplink to support data-intensive services on TD-LTE (time division-duplex, long term evolution) networks.
The devices use techniques such as Multiple Input Multiple Output exceeding 3GPP standards to improve performance and reduce costs.
These features allow operators to offer increased throughput, and better indoor coverage using fewer cell sites. In addition, consumers benefit from minimal orientation loss with the devices, using the device optimally in any position or orientation.
The Nokia Siemens Networks USB-lte 7210 offers mobile broadband to laptops and compatible tablets whilst on the move.
Nokia Siemens Networks CPEi-lte 7212 is a wireless router built for indoor use that provides fixed wireless connectivity to TD-LTE services via WiFi or Ethernet. The devices are commercially available to support 4G services using the TD-LTE standard in the 2.3 GHz and 2.6 GHz bands allocated for wireless broadband in many parts of the globe.

I think it will be the first one to reach India with 4G launch.

Huawei already has a good quality in data card as well as phones. More over this nsn data card is launched in China not in India.

LOL,but true.

Huawei already have E392 which supports 100Mbps speed & it’s backward compatible with 2G & 3G too. Aircel used this dongle to test it’s 4G network in Hyderabad.

Please verify the facts before posting. LTE is very much backward compatible with legacy technology (WCDMA, EDGE etc). Its WIMAX which is not backward compatible, and would use SIP protocol.

@ AZK
SOON … NEVER.
>> when is lte cmng to india and that to affordable for masses?

@Rohan Singh LTE is not backward compatible unlike wcdma aka 3g

Price will be around Rs.10,000 initially which may come down to approx. 5,000 in few months depending upon the volume of sales/demands.

Actually airtel is planning to bring similar kind of 4G dongle having backward compatibility for 2G and 3G and has fixed price of the same at around Rs.10,000.00. This has been decided keeping in mind that Airtel has also won license for Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) or 4G in several circles. Therefore, Airtel targets the bigger share of customer base having varied connnectivity of 2G, 3G and 4G.

That is super. Faster than 100mbps LAN. From 21mbps to 102 Mbps that was a long jump.
Will huawei able to produce one like this?
Is this practically possible?

Rohan Singh September 27, 2011 at 1:53 pm
What about backward compatibility? ? 2G & 3G ?? Will it be available in India? ?
Saurabh September 27, 2011 at 1:39 pm
Read about it on London Stock Exchange website an hour ago. Nice share. No clue about price point.
