Wind Mobile Announces LTE Trial
Canadian wireless carrier WIND Mobile has announced successful 4G live trial and introduction of High Definition Voice Calling (HD Voice) to the North American marketplace on their new and evolving all-IP 3G+ network.
WIND has been building a 3G+, all-IP network from the ground up. Recent LTE testing confirms that the network is in line to advance to the next evolution of 4G compatible technologies.
“We’re very proud of our network quality and of the efforts of our people to perform ongoing and rigorous testing to maintain quality and advance innovation,” said Ken Campbell, Chief Executive Officer of WIND Mobile.
“Our ability to deliver HD Voice before any other carrier in North America and to test LTE are examples of the technologies WIND is uniquely positioned to offer as we continue to advance our network to the next evolution of mobile network technology,” Ken added.
LTE delivers much faster speeds (up to 100Mbps) with lower latencies and superior customer experience with strengthened coverage and seamless handovers between sites. During testing, customers experience average download speeds of 50-60Mbps and improved speed while multitasking (concurrent emailing, browsing, file downloads, etc).
