Clearwire Coils for the Leap to LTE

[TechNews]

 Clearwire said Wednesday that it intends to add "LTE Advanced-Ready" technology to its 4G network. The announcement follows the successful completion of 4G tests that clocked download speeds above 120 Mbps. The deployment is subject to additional funding, the company said. Clearwire's initial implementation of the LTE technology will be targeted at densely populated urban areas where 4G demand is already high. The LTE 4G network is set to become the company's wholesale offering to other carriers, and there is no word yet on Sprint's interest in the upgrade.
