In September, the Commission will start to negotiate the details with project consortia, including the flagship ARTIST4G that builds on the achievements of the WINNER projects and unites 4G industry and researchers from Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the UK. The new projects are expected to start in January 2010. "With LTE technologies, Europe's research 'know-how' will continue to set the tone for the development of mobile services and devices around the globe, just as we did in the past decades with the GSM standard," said Viviane Reding, the EU's Commissioner for Telecoms and Media. "LTE technologies will turn mobile phones into powerful mobile computers. Millions of new users will get ultra high-speed internet access on their portable devices, wherever they are. This will create tremendous opportunities and plenty of space for growing the digital economy." Between 2004 and 2007, the EU supported research on optimisation and standardisation of LTE (the WINNER I and II projects, run by a consortium of 41 leading European companies and universities) with € 25 million. This led to the development of the first concept for a LTE-based network infrastructure. http://www.europa.eu 18-Aug-09     Learn How to Get Your Video on this Site Recent Broadband Wireless News Alcatel-Lucent Acquires OpenPlug, Extending its Application Enablement Strategy 9/1/2010 Clearwire Offers Pay-As-You-Go Mobile Broadband, $5/Day 8/30/2010 NSN Partners with Telefónica on Smartphone Experience Lab 8/30/2010 Ceragon Notes Mobile Backhaul Order from Leading Indian Carrier 8/30/2010 SK Telecom Selects ALU's MPLS-TP Packet Optical Backhaul 8/27/2010 AT4 Wireless Establishes LTE Test Lab in Taiwan 8/26/2010 Chile's Movistar Upgrades with NSN's HSPA+ 8/26/2010 Malaysia's Maxis Selects Huawei for FTTH 8/26/2010 List of Carriers Planning LTE Deployment Tops 100 8/26/2010 Telia Launches Commercial LTE in Gothenburg 8/25/2010 California Works with Sprint on First Mobile Alert System 8/25/2010 WSJ: Corporate America Adopting Apple's iPad 8/24/2010 Telecom Italia Tests LTE in Turin 8/24/2010 Virgin Mobile USA Offers $40 Unlimited Prepaid Mobile Broadband 8/24/2010 Tata Teleservices selects NSN for 3G 8/23/2010 > More news...     Search  this site   Search the Web   Get Your Column Published Emergency Response and Wireless Location Systems by Manlio Allegra Interview: NSN's Sue Spradley on LightSquared's Wholesale Mobile Data Paradigm by Sue Spradley Mobile Backhaul Transition Requires New Testing by Joe Zeto Cybersecurity Requires Public/Private Coalition by Greg Oslan A Rethinking of Cloud Services and Network Architecture by Jim Theodoras Delivering Scalable Video Solutions <br><i> Advantages of SVC-Optimized QoS</i> by Andy Singleton   E-mail Newsletter Subscribe Now
