LG Develops World's First LTE Handset Modem Chip

LG Electronics (LG), a worldwide technology and design leader in mobile communications, announced on 10th of this December to indicate that it has independently developed the first handset (user equipment) modem chip based on 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE)* technology standards. The modem chip can theoretically support wireless download speeds of 100Mbps (megabits per second) and upload speeds of 50Mbps. This represents a significant step toward creating a market-ready 4G* phone.

"Now that LG has developed and tested the first 4G handset modem, a commercially viable LTE handset is on the horizon," said Dr. Woo Hyun Paik, CTO of LG Electronics. "This latest breakthrough gives us a strong technology advantage that we will use to bolster our industry leadership."

The Modem Chip is the most crucial component required to create a viable 4G handset with LTE technology, the leading candidate to become the fourth generation mobile phone technology standard to mention here is to qualify as 4G, a network technology must be able to transfer data at over 1 Gbps to a stationary receiver or 100Mbps to a receiver moving at 60 Km/h. This is 50 times faster than WCDMA for moving receivers and 10 times faster than wired broadband internet connections for stationary receivers. 4G networks are also IP-based, making them more efficient.

LG demonstrated the chip today at its Mobile Communication Technology Research Lab in Anyang, Korea, achieving wireless download speeds of 60 Mbps and upload speeds of 20 Mbps. The fastest phones currently on the market use HSDPA technology and download at a maximum speed of 7.6 Mbps.

Watch the Video Demonstration Here

Higher download speeds are becoming more and more important as people are increasingly using their mobile phones to watch movies, listen to music and browse the internet. With LTE technology, users can download a 700 MB movie file in less than one minute at speeds of 100 Mbps. LTE technology would also allow consumers to simultaneously stream four HD movies without any buffering.
