MetroPCS may consider targeting unlocked iPhones when an LTE version of the device becomes available, executives said at an investor conference today.

None of Verizon's new 4G LTE smartphones offers global roaming. Ask Maggie explains why.

Verizon's 4G LTE network will be introduced in 28 new markets and expanded in 11 more.

The bankruptcy marks an end to an ambitious attempt to create an upstart provider of 4G LTE wireless services.

While wireless equipment suppliers have developed a new generation of small cells designed for public access in mobile data networks, operators have to overcome some deployment challenges that these diminutive base stations create, according to a Heavy Reading analyst.

As Light Reading Mobile's recent report, there is a diverse range of public access small cell products designed for use in various places, including indoor venues, outdoor urban hot spots, or rural areas.

But product availability is one thing, deploying it is another matter.

I asked the head of a 4G trade organization what 4G means.

For $199 and a monthly service fee, the HomeFusion Broadband device pulls Verizon's 4G LTE down into your house.

The recent data on LTE subscriptions in the U.S. and Canada proves that with the increasing adaption of LTE 4G technologies, the mobile industry in North America is about to enter into a new

"As one of the largest chip providers for a wide range of devices in the WiMAX ecosystem ... markets in the U.S., Clearwire's LTE Advanced-ready network should position the company as the clear leader in 4G mobile broadband technology, capable of serving ...

T Mobile USA said today it has hired Ericsson and Nokia Siemens to expand its HSPA+ service and construct its new LTE network. The infrastructure vendors will roll out equipment compatible with LTE Advanced Release 10 at 37,000 cell sites

The carrier says it tapped Ericsson and Nokia Siemens to build out its 4G LTE network.

If you subscribe to the data and timing presented in the National Broadband Policy (NBP) - Connecting America, the US will likely begin to witness the effects of a spectrum crunch as early as next year.  The US wireless carriers continue to argue that ever increasing smartphone traffic is threatening to overwhelm their networks, and are asking the government for help. But if or when it will actually happen is the subject of much speculation and some experts maintain that technology already has the answers. 

“Arguing that the nation could run out of spectrum is like saying it was going to run out of a color,” quipped Dr. David Reed, now Senior Vice President, Chief Scientist Group, SAP Labs.  As far back as a decade ago, Reed, who was at that time a professor at MIT, has challenged notions of spectrum scarcity, asserting that regulatory allocation of spectrum “is a legal metaphor that does not correspond to physical reality.” 

Reed’s argument is deeply rooted in RF engineering and physics but can be quite simply stated as, “the capacity of a certain bandwidth in a certain physical space increases with the number of transceivers in a given space.”  In other words, the more radios you have the more capacity you have.  On the surface it may not seem Reed’s assertions are well grounded, especially if you see it through a model based on assigned allocation of spectrum.

Verizon's HomeFusion Broadband service uses 4G LTE muscle to power the Internet in homes across the U.S.

Verizon Wireless has announced May 3 nationwide availability of its HomeFusion Broadband, which provides LTE wireless broadband service to the home. The carrier is pitching the service as an alternative to residential broadband, especially in rural areas, or areas with limited
