Mobile leader Smart Communications Inc. (Smart) has now attained double the data speed of current fourth-generation (4G) Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology in recent trials, using 'LTE-Advanced'.
After hitting download speeds in excess of 200 megabits per second (Mbps) during tests of LTE Advanced in Manila, Smart, in cooperation with network equipment provider Huawei, held another test in Davao City.
LTE Advanced is a mobile broadband technology which can deliver data rates in excess of 200 mega bytes per second (mbps), up to a possible 700mbps.
LTE Advanced connectivity allows users to download data at speeds twice as fast as 4G networks and 10 times faster than 3G services.
The test facilities were able to achieve break-neck speeds of up to 209 mbps, over twice the 100 mbps top speed of LTE.
The widespread adoption of LTE Advanced is expected to help bring down the cost of network equipment and customer terminals significantly.
