LTE Stirs Excitement and Skepticism

摘要

When you listen to some of its champi-ons, it's easy to get excited about the po-tential impact of Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless networks on telematics, infotainment and even safety systems. Ide-ally, LTE will provide cars with super-fast, always-on, Internet Protocol (IP) data communications equal to what many people have at home. Verizon Wireless expects LTE's average data rates will be five to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and two to five Mbps on the uplink in real-world, loaded-network en-vironments.
