Qualcomm, EE and Huawei test LTE Category 9
Huawei, EE and Qualcomm have partnered for an LTE category 9 interoperability trial, claiming to have achieved download speeds of up to 410Mb/s.
According to the partners, this represents a significant step forward in the industry's attempt to improve download speeds and reliability.
Testing was conducted using QTI's Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor and Huawei's commercial infrastructure solution, across EE's LTE-A 4G+ network.
"We are excited to work with EE and Huawei in ushering in the latest evolution of wireless connectivity," said Enrico Salvatori, senior vice president of Qualcomm Europe. "Transitioning from Category 6 to Category 9 LTE-A connectivity will mean 1.5x faster peak download speeds, swift application response times, reliable connectivity and connections to the fastest networks."
