Rumor Mill: Verizon preps LG, Pantech LTE dongles Rumors.

Verizon Wireless () is preparing to set in motion two LTE USB dongles as its in front commercial devices for its next-generation network, according to the blog Phone Arena. The blog, citing an internal Verizon try page, said the bearer will bid the LG VL600 and Pantech UML290 USB modems in its sooner undulation of charge launches. The shipper has day by day said that its prime LTE devices will be USB modems, followed by smartphones and other devices next year.



A Verizon spokeswoman declined to comment. The LG implement was original discovered this summer in FCC documents, which confirmed the design will foundation Verizon's 700 MHz LTE network along with its EVDO material service. Verizon plans to initiation LTE this year in a out-and-out of 38 cities and more than 60 airports, covering 110 million POPs.

The nation's largest Immunology vector has not yet announced when it will get going the service, which promises real-world downlink speeds of 5-12 Mbps and latency speeds half those of the company's 3G network.

Interestingly, AT&T Mobility's () recently announced an LTE-capable USB chap (also made by LG) that will not effectuate on Verizon's LTE network, even though both carriers scenario to deploy LTE on the 700 MHz band. Verizon acquired most of the 700 MHz C Block spectrum (which lies in horde savoir faire 13) in 2008, while many of AT&T's 700 MHz licenses gather in the belittle C and B Blocks (which fabricate in fillet stratum 17).



Thus, to reliably stray from AT&T's LTE network to Verizon's, figure makers will cardinal have to bod LTE devices that forward keep classes 13 and 17. AT&T and Verizon also would have to ink an LTE roaming agreement.
