O2 launches London-based LTE trial

Earlier today mobile network provider O2 launched a trial of ‘4G’ network technology in London. Participants in the nine-month trial should be able to take advantage of greatly enhanced download speeds that will theoretically enable sophisticated applications such as high-definition video streaming.

O2 is using LTE as the foundation of its next-generation mobile network trial. Although this is not the first LTE trial to take place in the UK (that accolade goes to the combined Everything Everywhere/BT initiative to trial LTE in Cornwall), this is the first time UK residents will be able to take advantage of the new technology in London. LTE can offer download speeds of around 50Mbps, which is significantly faster than many domestic broadband connections in the UK.

Nevertheless, some controversy surrounds the use of ‘4G’ as an accurate descriptor for LTE technology. Initially the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) worked to prevent businesses from using the term 4G to describe LTE, arguing that true 4G capability lay in more sophisticated wireless technologies such as LTE Advanced. However, the ITU has since backtracked on its ruling and allowed providers of LTE, HSPA+ and WiMax technologies to make use of the term. Marketers are understandably keen to delineate the improved speeds of such networks from those that are offered by 3G technology.
