Nokia’s RD-3 modem boldly boasts LTE, and no, you can’t have one
Filed under: Nokia, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, UMTS, HSUPA, LTE
Nokia makes out its just-announced RD-3 data modem to be the dream of every road warrior: global GSM / EDGE, global HSPA, global LTE — a twenty-plus year heritage of technologies in the GSM family tree compressed into a single device, powerful enough to get you service from a dusty GPRS cell site in some of the world’s harshest landscapes or Verizon’s LTE trials in Boston and Seattle just the same. The only problem is that you can’t have it. The RD-3 is instead being reserved for carriers and infrastructure firms building out LTE networks around the globe as they march toward commercial availability in 2010, at which point Nokia (and others) will presumably have newer, better modems available for us lay folk to enjoy. In the meanwhile, though, it’s alright: go ahead and drool.
