Clearwire has long said that they have the technology, spectrum, and expertise to move from WiMax to LTE if necessary, and a press released today seems to reiterate that. Clearwire announced that it would: “conduct 4G LTE technology trials [...] in the U.S., and [...] test multiple coexistence scenarios between LTE and WiMAX radio technologies.” The release goes on to state that Clearwire, “expects the technical trials to demonstrate that Clearwire’s 4G network can deliver significantly higher performance using LTE technologies than any other operator,” and that they plan to “conduct the tests in collaboration with Huawei Technologies.” Huawei is the company that provided the infrastructure to the world’s first commercial LTE network in Europe. Who’s ready for a Verizon Wireless v. Clearwire LTE speed war! Hit the read link for the full release.

    I am flabergasted at how vzw fanbois are already proclaiming victory with nothing but talk to back it up with.

    Where is the LTE markets that are changing the game? WiMax has already done that while moving toward changing the game with LTE. Not one LTE market has gone live and every place they launch a cheaper unlimited option that supports more users will be there.

    Hey don, Sprints been cheaper than Verizon for how long? How far has that gotten them? Oh yeah, not even half the customer base.

    Let’s be real here, even if Clearwire does do LTE which they said trials they will be so far behind Verizon it’s not even funny. Verizon has 28 markets up and running right now. It would require hardware changes in which Verizon will have as many 4g markets covering more people than Sprint does currently with Weemax and MORE by the end of next year than Sprint with as much 3G as we currently have by EOY 2012. Clearwire would just be finishing their 1st market deployment in 2011 so they would be at LEAST 2 years behind Vzw. At&t, perhaps Tmobile followed our lead why would Sprint be any different?

    Verizon wireless has tested 34 markets with end to end data calls on their LTE service, but has yet to release LTE to any market.
