Nokia Siemens Networks unveils 4G devices @ PT Expo Comm
 Nokia Siemens Networks has launched three new 4G devices at PT Expo Comm in Beijing, China. The devices allow broadband access at up to 102 Mbps (Megabits per second) downlink and 51 Mbps uplink to support data-intensive services on TD-LTE (time division-duplex, long term evolution) networks. The devices address broadband access requirements and are now available to customers. A plug-and-play USB dongle, the Nokia Siemens Networks USB-lte 7210 offers mobile broadband to laptops and tablets whilst on the move. Nokia Siemens Networks CPEi-lte 7212 is a wireless router built that provides fixed wireless connectivity to TD-LTE services via WiFi or Ethernet. A further wireless router, Nokia Siemens Networks CPEo-lte 7210, built to withstand the weather and be mounted outdoors, can also provide broadband access. 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. "The availability of compatible devices in the market can be a significant factor in the uptake of a new wireless technology. By providing devices directly, we allow our customers to offer complete broadband packages to consumers, which in turn would speed up the adoption of new 4G services," said Ken Riordan, Head of Devices, Nokia Siemens Networks. |
