Ericsson announced two trials using advanced LTE technology this week, showing the potential for operators’ existing networks in supporting the IoT and delivering higher speeds.

Seven million more people gained access to 4G in the UK last year with signal reliability across all mobile networks boosted by operators stepping up services.

Nokia has unveiled new technologies that will allow operators to handle increasing network demands as well as new tools to create private mobile networks for businesses.

Vodafone Portugal, Ericsson and Qualcomm have achieved gigabit speeds over LTE in what the operator claimed is a major step towards 5G.

A majority of telecoms executives think their companies are behind the curve because they are only investing in already-proven technologies, new research has found.

DNA and Sonera will debut the first 4G base stations in Finland using the 700MHz spectrum band tomorrow (1 February).

EE has defended the UK's forthcoming LTE-powered Emergency Services Network after a government committee warned it may miss its launch date of December 2019 because of the technical challenges.

Vodafone has launched its first commercial NB-IoT network, going live with the technology in Spain.

French telco Bouygues Telecom has introduced the 4G box, which provides high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity to homes by connecting to an LTE network.

Huawei and China Unicom have achieved a peak network rate of 697.3Mbps in a test of the industry’s first FDD-based Massive MIMO technology.

Three has become the first Swedish operator to launch voice over LTE (VoLTE) services.

Voice over LTE will reach a tipping point by 2021, new research has predicted, as operators look to reduce costs and the device ecosystem reaches critical mass.

A weak device ecosystem and unclear monetisation model are problems that need to be solved by LTE-broadcast proponents, a new report has claimed.

Vodafone Romania and Huawei have used five carrier aggregation across FDD and TDD bands, 256QAM and 4x4 MIMO to hit theoretical speeds of 1.38GBps.

MTS has become the first Russian operator to launch LTE-Advanced Pro on its commercial network, which offers speeds of up to 700MBps.

TIM is boasting the fastest consumer network for smartphone users in Europe after launching a tri-band carrier aggregation network in Italy with speeds of 500MBps.

Ooredoo Qatar and Nokia have hit speeds of 1GBps through tri-carrier aggregation, 256QAM and 4x4MIMO, with the operator planning a commercial rollout of the speeds next year.

Telekom Austria Group's domestic subsidiary A1 has hit speeds of 500MBps in a tri-carrier aggregation demonstration with Nokia.

TDC has launched a 1GBps mobile network at Copenhagen Central Station ahead of a wider roll out to other parts of Denmark's capital next year.

Elisa has launched Finland's first cloud-based VoLTE and voice over Wi-Fi services in a rollout led by Nokia.
