TIM takes a (small) step towards LTE

16 February 2012

Telecom Italia Mobile (TIM) has started public LTE trails in Turin - albeit on a very limited basis. From today until 22 February, the operator will have "special stations" open to the public at a TIM retail outlet on Via Lagrange, to showcase the capabilities of the service.

The operator said the showcase is part of a €1.26 billion development plan for its next-generation mobile network, including the acquisition of 800, 1800 and 2600 MHz frequencies. TIM's R&D lab is centred in Turin.
