At this year’s CTIA Wireless 2011 held at the Orange CountyConvention Center (Orlando, Florida), Intel Corporation in directcollaboration with Ericsson showcased a variety of compellingtechnology demonstrations over the commercial Verizon 4G FDDLTE network (700MHz Band) as well as over the Ericsson 4G FDDLTE indoor demo network (2.6GHz Band) using a variety of personalcomputers (netbooks, notebooks and tablets with Intel Architecture) ata dedicated kiosk (“LTE AND VoLTE”) within the impressivetechnology-rich Ericsson Pavilion:

1. Attendees could experience a high definition video conferencing session (utilizing VidyoDesktop) between an Apple Mac Book Air (Intel® Core TM 2 Duo processor inside) with a LGVL600 USB Modem (4G LTE Band 13 over the commercial Verizon LTE network) and a MSINetbook (Intel® Atom TM Processor N570 inside) with a GCT LTE USB Modem (4G LTE Band 7over the Ericsson demo LTE eNodeB). In parallel, there was another compelling video conferencedemonstration between two Pegatron Lucid tablets (Intel® Atom TM Processor N450 inside) withembedded ST Ericsson LTE PCI Express Mini Card (4G LTE Band 7 over the Ericsson demo LTEeNodeB).

2. The high speed broadband capability of LTE Category 3 could be witnessed with the streamingof four high definition videos in conjunction with several Mega-Byte to several Giga-Byte filetransfers (with corresponding Speedtest) using a Samsung X430 Notebook (Intel® Core TM i3Processor inside) with integrated Samsung LTE PCI Express Mini card: UE Cat 3 – 2X2 DLMIMO/1X2 UL MIMO @ 10MHz BW (4G LTE Band 7 over the Ericsson demo LTE eNodeB). ForLTE UE Category 3, DL and UL peak data rates of 100Mbps and 50Mbps can be achieved,respectively. However, achievable LTE peak data rates would be 73Mbps for DL and 36Mbps forthe UL. During one of the many daily demos to the attendees, the speedometer showed an averageDL of 42Mbps and UL of 22Mbps!

3. Attendees could play an on-line multiplayer game (“Need for Speed”) using a MSI Notebook (2ndgeneration Intel® Core™ i7 Processor inside) with GCT LTE USB Modem (4G LTE Band 7 overthe Ericsson demo LTE eNodeB).

4. Attendees were able to watch IP video content (You Tube, CNBC, Netflix, etc.) using a SONYSmart TV powered by Google TV (Intel® Atom™ processor CE4100 inside) with a Novatel MiFi4510L hotspot (WiFi to 4G Band 13 LTE Gateway).

5. Attendees also could access the internet (stream video, browse, etc.) using OPENPEAK’sOpenTablet 10 (Intel® Atom TM Processor N450 and Android operating system on Moorestown)with embedded ST Ericsson LTE PCI Express Mini Card (4G LTE Band 7 over the Ericsson demoLTE eNodeB) – historically, this was a major technical breakthrough in being able to showcase, forthe first time, an Intel Moorestown Android tablet with embedded LTE!
