Mobile phone technology is in a fast forward mode. Continuous process of innovations made the all pervasive mobile phone to spread its coverage to all nooks and corners of this vast universe. It is well known that the use of mobile phones is so widespread and it has become an unavoidable device for every one irrespective of their occupation or status. It has redefined the concept of telephony in the 21st century. Ever since it was invented and introduced for public consumption, mobile phone technology has been undergoing continuous process of evolution. As a result of this innovative upsurge, newer features got incorporated in the device periodically.

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is one among many projects that caused substantial changes in the mobile technology. It is within the frame work of 3rd generation (3G) cellular service. The role out of 3G by the mobile network operators is expected to deliver bouquet of value added services. It will extend capabilities for higher speed data transfer and advanced video streaming. The LTE will contribute towards improving the universal mobile telecommunication standards, as well as spectral efficiency, lowering costs and enabling integration with other open standards. The project is known as 3GPP LTE.

In UK the first 3rd generation partnership project or 3GPP was introduced by Samsung whose model Kalima supports download speed up to 100Mbps and upload speed of 50Mbps within 20 MHz frequency bandwidth. The users will be able to download high definition movie files (800MB) in one minute at a speed of 100Mbps. This LTE modem is compatible with earlier standards. Samsung has also developed another modem named Broom which has capacity to download at 28Mbps and upload at 11.5 Mbps. These modems are based on the release of 7 standards with HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) evolution platform.

Nokia Siemens Network also has developed LTE mobile, claiming that it is worlds first call using next generation technology. They are expected to introduce it shortly. The prospects are brighter for the telecom industry. The new technology will render faster capability to the mobile phones and will enable faster uploads and downloads of movies, music and other data. The users will be able to download mobile broadband as faster as a computer having wired broadband connection.

Many other players in the telecommunication segment are expected to adopt LTE in their mobile phones. As LTE is the most advanced 3rd generation wireless technology and there is widespread expectation that it will be the spring board for the 4th generation standards for mobile telephony it is quite natural that more industry leaders will follow suit. Major players like Alcatel Lucent, Ericsson and NEC are now adopting LTE for their future plans. Experts are of the opinion that the adoption of LTE will become imperative in order to survive in the market. Ultimately the consumer will be benefited by the reliable and fast services.
