This allows especially to French readers have a glimpse of what this technology reserves.
LTE (Long Term Evolution) provides data rates much higher than the 3G which then runs to more than 3.5 Mb / s download and 1.2 Mbps in upload. The demonstration operated MIMO technology, according to GigaOm, who was present during testing. Multiple antennas receives and sends signals to increase bandwidth.
