LG Reveals 60 Mbps Smartphone Chip
By Jenny • Dec 12th, 2008 • Category: UncategorizedLG Electronics has come up with a new modem chip for smartphones which will boost the data upload as well as download rate via mobile web surfing. The new chip is based on the Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology, which is in fact the main contender for the next generation mobile broadband.
The LTE technology is still being established and theoretically it is supposed to deliver an incredible 100 Mbps download speed. The chip that is designed by LG offers a download speed of 60 Mbps and can upload the data at a rate of 20 Mbps, which is far better than the current data transfer speed of 7.6 Mbps offered by most smartphones. The new LG chip, which we can expect to hopefully find in LG mobile phones sometime soon, will broaden the horizons of consumers who will have new mobile surfing possibilities. Because of the high speed connection they will be able to do more and explore new horizons that are not practically possible with the current chips. For example consumers will experience amazingly high speed mobile web browsing and be able to watch high definition videos on the go without encountering the annoying buffering process.
The LTE technology will soon become the driving force behind the next generation technology. Besides LG, many other companies including AT&T and Vodafone are using it as a base of their 4G networks that are to be launched after few years.
