EE’s 400mbps 4G Network is COMING to London First

EE discusses its plan to test 400mbps 4G at Wembley Stadium –– “we want Wembley to be the world’s best connected stadium”

EE’s LTE-A network will launch next year, bringing insanely fast, 300mbps 4G to the UK’s capital. Initial tests of the new LTE-A network began in earnest last year within the confines of London’s Tech City. EE says it wants to focus on bringing its twice-as-fast-LTE to businesses and tech leaders first, hence its decision to launch LTE-A first in London.

But before this happens the network has now confirmed it will soon begin testing EVEN faster speeds –– 400mbps, ladies and gents –– at Wembley Stadium in order to ensure it provides regular, consistent updates to its infrastructure. EE hasn’t mentioned when 400mbps will become the norm, but judging by its past rollouts a launch in 2016 seems about right. 

In order to access these high-speed connections you’ll need a smartphone or tablet that can handle CAT 6 LTE, and that will mean –– for many –– an upgrade. There are CAT 6 LTE-enabled handsets already in circulation (anything with a Snapdragon 805 CPU in it, basically), but as we move towards 2015 more and more releases, again, thanks to Qualcomm chips, will feature support for ultra-fast, face-melting LTE speeds. 

EE CTO Fotis Karonis said, “Since we announced this historic partnership six months ago, customers using the network at Wembley have already uploaded the equivalent of 850,000 selfies, and streamed 400,000 goal replays. 

“We’ve added enough capacity to connect every visitor that walks through the gates, and we’re continuing to invest – more 3G, more 4G, Superfast WiFi and the capability to launch a multi-operator 4G service, supporting all the networks, means everyone with a smartphone can be connected at Wembley. 

“This partnership has a very clear vision – we want Wembley to be the world’s best connected stadium, showing off new technologies first and giving two million visitors a year the best possible Wembley experience.”

EE discusses its plan to check 400mbps 4G at Wembley Stadium –– “we would like Wembley to be the world's greatest related stadium”

EE’s LTE-A network will launch subsequent yr, bringing insanely quick, 300mbps 4G to the UK’s capital. Initial checks of the brand new LTE-A community started in earnest final yr inside the confines of London’s Tech City. EE says it needs to concentrate on bringing its twice-as-quick-LTE to companies and tech leaders first, therefore its determination to launch LTE-A first in London.

But earlier than this occurs the community has now confirmed it can quickly start testing EVEN quicker speeds –– 400mbps, women and gents –– at Wembley Stadium so as to guarantee it supplies common, constant updates to its infrastructure. EE hasn’t talked about when 400mbps will grow to be the norm, however judging by its previous rollouts a launch in 2016 appears about proper. 

In order to entry these excessive-velocity connections you’ll want a smartphone or tablet that may deal with CAT 6 LTE, and that may imply –– for a lot of –– an improve. There are CAT 6 LTE-enabled handsets already in circulation (something with a Snapdragon 805 CPU in it, principally), however as we transfer in the direction of 2015 increasingly releases, once more, thanks to Qualcomm chips, will function help for extremely-quick, face-melting LTE speeds. 

EE CTO Fotis Karonis stated, "Since we introduced this historic partnership six months in the past, clients utilizing the community at Wembley have already uploaded the equal of 850,000 selfies, and streamed four hundred,000 objective replays. 

"We've added sufficient capability to join each customer that walks by means of the gates, and we're persevering with to make investments - extra 3G, extra 4G, Superfast WiFi and the potential to launch a multi-operator 4G service, supporting all of the networks, means everybody with a smartphone may be related at Wembley. 

"This partnership has a really clear imaginative and prescient – we would like Wembley to be the world's greatest related stadium, displaying off new applied sciences first and giving two million guests a yr the absolute best Wembley expertise."
