T-Mobile Teases 'LTE-Advanced Features' for This Year
Jun 26, 2013, 12:14 PM by Eric M. Zeman
T-Mobile USA has indicated that it will offer features of an LTE-Advanced network, but stopped short of saying if or when it will deploy LTE-Advanced. "We'll begin rolling out LTE Advanced features later this year," said Dave Mayo, T-Mobile's senior vice president of technology, strategy, finance and development. Mayo did not specify what the LTE-Advanced features would be, but some of the possibilities include carrier aggregation, enhanced inter-cell interference coordination, MIMO antenna technology, and self-optimizing capabilities. T-Mobile's LTE network is based on the Release 10 specifications, which are required for LTE-Advanced. T-Mobile offers LTE in only a handful of markets right now. It expects to cover 100 million POPs with LTE by mid-year, and 200 million by year's-end.
