Breaking December 1, 2010

Today, via a press release, Verizon officially unveiled the launch of its next-generation data network. Based on LTE technology, the new network will officially open its doors on December 5th, covering 38-cities and 60 airports around the continental U.S.; Verizon continues to promise nationwide coverage by 2013.

Upon launch, two USB data-sticks — the LG VL600 and Pantech UML290 — will be available to consumers. Both devices will be backward compatible with the company’s 3G, EVDO network and will retail for $99.99 with a signed 2-year contract and $50 mail-in rebate. Verizon will offer two data plans for its new high-speed network, a $50 monthly plan with a 5GB data allowance or an $80 monthly plan with a 10GB monthly allowance; overages on both plans will be billed at $10 per gigabyte.

Verizon boasts that speeds on the LTE network will range from 5 to 12Mbps on the downlink and 2 to 5Mbps on the uplink. Hit the jump to check out the full press release, which includes a full list of launch cities.

UPDATE: Verizon will address LTE-enable smartphones at CES in Las Vegas this January and street-level coverage maps will be available starting this Sunday.

Verizon Wireless Launches The World’s Largest 4G LTE Wireless Network On Dec. 5

Laptop Users Benefit First from Fastest and Most Advanced Wireless Network, Arriving in 38 Major Metropolitan Areas with New Value-Priced 4G Data Plans

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Verizon Wireless announced today it is turning on the world’s first large-scale 4G LTE network on Sunday, Dec. 5. Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network will be the fastest and most advanced 4G network in America. Business users will be the first to take advantage of the 4G LTE network with speeds up to 10 times faster than the company’s 3G network.

With the launch, Verizon Wireless is also offering new value-priced 4G LTE Mobile Broadband data plans starting at $50 monthly access for 5 GB monthly allowance, as well as two new 4G LTE USB modems: the LG VL600 which will be available at launch, and the Pantech UML290, available soon.

Dan Mead, president and chief executive officer of Verizon Wireless, said, “Beginning Sunday, Verizon Wireless is making the best network even better. Our initial 4G LTE launch gives customers access to the fastest and most advanced mobile network in America and immediately reaches more than one-third of all Americans, right where they live. That’s just the start. We will quickly expand 4G LTE, and by 2013 will reach the existing Verizon Wireless 3G coverage area.”

Road warriors using laptops will immediately benefit from Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network with super-fast connectivity that’s up to 10 times faster than the company’s current 3G network. The company expects 4G LTE average data rates in real-world, loaded network environments to be 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink.

Mead continued, “We are building our 4G LTE network with the same commitment to performance and reliability for which we have long been recognized. Our commitment to superior network performance, combined with broad 4G coverage areas and the strong value of our data plans make 4G LTE Mobile Broadband the best choice for laptop users.”

4G LTE Mobile Broadband Data Plans, Devices and Coverage Areas
Verizon Wireless customers can choose from two 4G LTE Mobile Broadband data plans: $50 monthly access for 5 GB monthly allowance or $80 monthly access for 10 GB monthly allowance, both with $10/GB overage. For laptop connectivity, two 4G LTE USB modems will be initially available: the LG VL600 is available at launch and the Pantech UML290 will be available soon, each $99.99 after $50 rebate with a new two-year agreement. Both USB modems provide backward-compatibility with Verizon Wireless’ 3G network. If laptop users travel outside of a 4G LTE coverage area, they will automatically stay connected on the company’s 3G network.

The two modems harness the power of the company’s 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network to help enterprise, business and government customers make their workforces more productive, providing super-fast laptop connectivity. Both modems will be available in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores, online at http://www.verizonwireless.com, by phone by calling 1-800 256-4646 and through the company’s business sales channels.

The company expects consumer-oriented handsets will be available by mid-2011. Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network is initially launching in 38 major metropolitan areas and in more than 60 commercial airports coast to coast – at both airports within the launch areas plus airports in other key cities. Street level coverage area maps will be available online on Dec. 5. Today, customers can go to http://www.verizonwireless.com/4Glte to check if their addresses will be in the initial 4G LTE coverage area.

Spectrum and Network Partners
By leveraging its 700 MHz spectrum for LTE deployment in the United States, Verizon Wireless is capable of quickly deploying a high-quality wireless broadband network with excellent coverage. Verizon Wireless’ primary 4G LTE network vendors, Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent, are providing the underlying infrastructure for the 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network.

    $50 for a data plan? F that, staying 3g, Verizon is dumb for charging 20$ more a month. Glad I got my Incredible and didn’t hold out for an LTE phone.

    • Tee

      Prices are identical to 3G prices…. these are data card/MiFi plans… which are 50 dollars for 5 gigs and 80 for 10 gigs…

      The only 30 dollar plan offered is for cell phones…

      • Anonymous

        Oh thank god, I read that as the cell phone plans not the mobile card plans.

      prices look comparable to DoCoMo’s pricing and current 3G pricing anywhere else in the world. whiners need to go traveling a bit.

      Exactly. This does not reflect pricing for LTE-enabled smartphones at all–like the man says wait until CES for more details!

    why is everyone complaining about price this is actually cheaper than the current 3g mobile broadband plan which stands at 59.99/month for 5 gigs. they are talking about usb modems not phones people.

  • Donny

    Until phones are available that have remotely decent battery life (which none of the first years worth will) having Verizons 4G seems kind of like a pain in the ass. Also add on the inital spotty coverage, high priced and nonunlimited data plans, and the fact you wont see much faster than 3-6 mbps in real life.

    • kwaping

      Donny, you’re out of your element!

    • Tee

      Well, on the plus side, if the data prices are the forecast for what to expect for handsets… I’ll be pumped. These prices are identical to their 3G prices, dollar for dollar, gig for gig. So the hope for unlimited 4G on my phone lives on for at least another month til they get to Las Vegas.

    • Dumbass

      First the 4g pricing isn’t any different then 3g so that argument is out the window. yes these are just broadband prices. Second, spotty coverage? they’re making a network so of course their will be. good news is if you don’t get 4g more then likely you will get 3g and guess what? no price difference. Last its the manufactures who make the phones and batteries so instead of saying having verizon 4g is a pain, then getting any 4g would also be a pain and stupid because the slowest speeds recorded on LTE are 5 mbsp and fastest is 12mbsp and thats capped. Verizons network can handle a lot more then 12 mbsp esp in big citties that way there aren’t any dropped data sessions as you see on other carriers. do your research buddy

  • http://twitter.com/raitchison raitchison

    LTE (along with WiMax and HSPA+) are not capable of 4G speeds. We will need to wait for LTE Advanced and WiMax 2 for that.

    • Donny

      Thank you so much for clarifying that for us….if it weren’t for people like you saying the same stupid F@#$ing thing regarding what really constitutes 4G on every 4G related post we would all be so lost and helpless in the world of technology. You definitely deserve a gold star for your vigilance!

      • http://twitter.com/raitchison raitchison

        You’re right I should totally let the carriers get away with misleading consumers.

      • Anonymous

        They still ARE going to mislead customers. Posting the same thing over and over in these tech sites where everybody who reads it already knows that the current “4G” isn’t technically “4G” isn’t doing anything. If you really want to “inform” the poor consumers from their carrier, then go stand outside a Verizon store with a sign that reads “LTE isn’t 4G, LTE Advance IS 4G”.

      • http://twitter.com/raitchison raitchison

        You should have heard the discussion I got into with a TMO sales rep as he repeatedly tried to tell me that their HSPA+ network was 4G even after I brought up the ITU definition.

      • Narayu

        Networks have been using the term “4G” for months before the ITU even came up with a definition. So now that theres a clear definition they need to change what they’ve been calling it? Each carrier uses the term 4G differently, and when they use it in the terms of it being that specific carrier’s 4th generation network, they’re not incorrect. T-mobile’s “4G” is only slightly faster than Verizon’s 3G, should we make them start calling it 3G+? The bottom line is that no one is being mislead because the speeds are outlined specifically. They don’t say “4G speeds” they say “up to 12Mbps” which is true, stop trolling cause no one cares.

      • 121abc

        They’re only misleading because 1/4 of america is retarted, if you have a 30 second comm or a 3×4 in add to work with, are you going to post the speeds? or what its called? in the fine print which you should read, and the argument, “who reads fine print?” doesn’t cut it. All the info is there is people are willing to read and research it. Just like everything else in this world

      • serpentor

        Fight the good fight, my dude.

      • GUEST

        all 4g means is fourth generation data. It doesn’t mean its a certain speed.

    • Anonymous

      team 360voice FTW!

    • 121abc

      Too bad WiMax is exactly what it sounds like, just a non expandible wifi network that sprint is already looking at taking down and 4g stands for 4th generation so you can’t really say what a 4g speed is

      • Drew

        He doesn’t have to… ITU has already said what 4G is.

  • Mightyboink

    so where is the 4g speed? cause i’m getting almost those speeds on my x10 in canada now. and fast speeds on my HSPA+ stick…

    • 121abc

      12 mbs/sec// HSPA maxes at 3-4 and LTE slowest is 5-6

  • Bob

    Little old Milwaukee, left waiting again.

    • GUEST

      check the address search. vzw.com/4g I’m in michigan which isnt listed but is going to get 4g sunday

  • Drew

    That’s all great and fantastic and all but how does a carrier launch a new network technology and not have anything aside from 2 USB sticks to support it?? Did Vzw not see this coming?? It’s all too premature. I’m not saying do what Sprint did which was “ok, here’s a phone, I hope you have 4G where you live” but there’s been one device announced and that’s not until February.

    • 121abc

      DUMB? are you dumb? It makes sence to give people the coverage first then come out w/ cell phones when there is more of a market for that network. They could be link Sprint/T-mobile/Metro and give them 30-40 cities, you know 5% of the country or they could double that coverage and airports. Test the devices and then all the phones they will come out with should be 4g which will be backwards compatible to 3g. From a buisness side it makes sence. Get the market hyped up and get the network built and running. Then release more then just 1-2 devices to support that coverage… duh

      • Drew

        Well, since you pride yourself at making “sence” (I’m not familiar with that spelling btw), I clearly stated NOT to do what Sprint has done. My contention is do your testing THEN announce your network and supporting devices. They’re just trying to grab some “4G” news and that’s what my comment was about. And yes I know it’s not a good business model but I’m tired of hearing everyone trying (after T-Mobile) to jump in on the 4G buzz and you don’t even have devices for it. Who’s dumb?? You can’t even spell…

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/John-Alexander-Thacker/597252629 John Alexander Thacker

      Sprint also launched their WiMAX network with data-only devices for months before a phone was available.

      It’s much easier to get a data-only modem working than a phone.

      how do you know this when their is no network launched yet and no devices to use it when it does eventually launch! This is all speculation and theory, t-mobile has HSPA+and get at least 4 MBps on my vibrant so you argument is completely FALSE!!!

  • Macboy15

    Lol here we go more fake 4G. Like t-mobile and sprint. Next up fake 4G from AT&T. Boy are we behind here in the states.

    • Rich

      I wish some of you actually knew what you were talking about. This will be the second LTE network in the world. In a few years, it will be the standard world wide. Verizon is leading the way here. If you don’t want to use it, that’s fine by me. More room for the rest of us who will really enjoy it.

      • http://twitter.com/jbarajasp Jose P Barajas

        i see your logic but the problem there is that Verizon chose some crazy proprietary bands to build the network (the same way t-mo chose those useless 1700 bands for its 3g) nobody will use these bands for LTE except for them so that nullifies your claim of a “standard”.

        PS: Verizon doesn’t yet have enough spectrum to expand rapidly so i fully expect a slow build out.

        PSS: Sprint may use wimax but at least they us “standard” bands (the same bands Europe plans to use for LTE). The way the network was build would allow for an easy transition to LTE technology and will align them nicely with the rest of the world while Verizon will be the odd ball with its odd LTE bands
        Also, Sprint own WAY more spectrum to build out a network.

        PSSS:
        $80 for 10gb of 4g available in 38 cities on verizon while sprint will give u unlimited 4g for $60 in 65 cities….

        speeds are pointless after about 7mbps because u cant really tell the difference when surfing… i have 20mbps at home (via time warner) and 9mbps for travel (sprint 4g) and i cant tell the differance….

        Verizon is a HUGE rip off!!!!! FAIL!!!!!!

        Oh boy….where to start….

        “i see your logic but the problem there is that Verizon chose some crazy proprietary bands to build the network (the same way t-mo chose those useless 1700 bands for its 3g) nobody will use these bands for LTE except for them so that nullifies your claim of a “standard”. ”

        We use 700 Mhz and have licensing for 100 nationwide coverage. We also chose this band because it was the highest rate of carry for signal strength and in building penetration. Also, since it carries further we won’t have near the build out costs. We (Vzw) will have our same 3g footprint lit with 4g by early 2012.

        PS: Verizon doesn’t yet have enough spectrum to expand rapidly so i fully expect a slow build out.

        “see above, you don’t have a clue. Weemax has 10 pipes (we will call it for simplicity) LTE has 20, less than half the latencity and twice the up and down speeds. The market I live in is a phase 2 market and is 3 months ahead of schedule.”

        PSS: Sprint may use wimax but at least they us “standard” bands (the same bands Europe plans to use for LTE). The way the network was build would allow for an easy transition to LTE technology and will align them nicely with the rest of the world while Verizon will be the odd ball with its odd LTE bands
        Also, Sprint own WAY more spectrum to build out a network.

        “LTE and WeeMax isn’t even close to the same builds. Without getting to technical Verizon has worked with Vodaphone and China Mobile on worldwide implementation. Just like GSM has several bands, LTE will do the same thing. WeeMax (under it’s current form) compared to LTE is not even close to comparable in every way. (Up, Down Speeds, Latency, In Building Penetration, Worldwide Deployment, etc.)”

        PSSS:
        $80 for 10gb of 4g available in 38 cities on verizon while sprint will give u unlimited 4g for $60 in 65 cities….

        “WeeMax also been out for over a year. By the end of the year we will have twice the markets and if you really want to get into the comparison game. LTE smokes WeeMax.(See above) Sprints Unlimited 4G also will cut yours speeds if you use over 5GB consistently just like their 4g. Verizon, At&t, TMobile, and every other carrier do the same thing”

        speeds are pointless after about 7mbps because u cant really tell the difference when surfing… i have 20mbps at home (via time warner) and 9mbps for travel (sprint 4g) and i cant tell the difference….

        “BTW you aren’t getting 9MB/sec on WeeMax consistently maybe bursts but not consistent. Consistent speeds on WeeMax are 2-5 just like HSPA+.”

        Verizon is a HUGE rip off!!!!! FAIL!!!!!!

        “I was going to say something else but I will say Verizon has a better network, better coverage, better customer service, and better phones. Not to mention that we will be around in 5 years. Sprint cannot say the same.”

        ( end of rant )

        “Thank god”

  • Guest

    just in time for the January iPhone launch….

  • Gag

    If this is going to resemble what 4G data plans for phones are going to look like, you can go ahead and count me out. I easily do 20-25 gigs a month on my iPhone. Unlimited data will have to be pried out of my cold, dead hands. I have no doubts at this point that Verizon will move to tiered data for 4G phones and sadly, AT&T probably will too. I never thought carriers actually announcing 4G services would dampen my demand for them, considering how much they are overcharging. I’m pretty happy with the speed with which I download emails and stream video and other things. And if I have a problem, I can always hop onto WiFi, which still blows away 4G speeds. So yea….

  • http://twitter.com/khaminsenz Feed Back

    I understand to make a profit, but this pricing plan is absolutely horrendous and must be a joke.

    To expect users to move from $30/month unlimited to $50/month for 5GB is asking a lot. I for one, had been looking forward to the rollout of LTE, but have 0 intention of even considering this. It is obvious to me that either they are trying to extort money from early adopters who absolutely must have this or they’re trying to protect a network that they are building out to fast.

    And it’s not even 4G to boot. LTE does not meet the definition for 4G technology. It does not meet ITU-R defined principles for 4G standards.

    • Carl

      Verizon’s mobile broadband plans have never been $30/month for anything other than a single smartphone. It’s usually $60/month for USB 3G modems so their 4G LTE plans are actually cheaper than their 3G plans currently.

      • Anonymous

        VZW’s current 3G MiFi Hot spot plans are 3GB for $35/month, 5GB $50/month, 10GB $80/month. USB 3G modems are 5GB $50/month, 10GB $80/month..

    • jcj

      this pricing is ridiculous! way too much for 4G and they wont have a phone to use it 2-3 months! hat is laughable, hell t-mobile, the last to launch had 2-33G devices out before they launched their 3G network. poor planning on verizons part

    • Barelyglowin

      the pricing they’re advertising is for mobile broadband devices, which is actually 10$ cheaper than the cost for a 3g usb aircard… there was no announcement as to smartphone data pricing, so it is premature to assume that it will cost any more or less than current 3g smartphone data pricing.

      The speeds are ridiculous. I know the network is not loaded yet, but I have personally seen download speeds of 22mbps and up of 17mbps, while running skype, hulu, and netflix simultaneously with no buffering and now lag or jitters. 5-12 is AVERAGE speed.

  • blackberry luver

    just in time before i end my contract with Sprint and head over to Verizon for the Iphone……GOOD JOB VERIZON….*LOOKING BEHIND* Sprint you need to catch up, you need more than just the Evo to keep people at Sprint.

  • Demofya

    4G, pfft.

    I can hardly wait till the lawsuits for false advertisement begin. Listen everyone, the International Telecommunications Union FINALLY rated the speed of what a true 4G network should be. And no… NO carrier in the world currently offers wireless speeds this fast…. 100mbps. The fastest speed currently available is indeed on Verizon’s network (12mbps), but that may not last very long once AT&T release their 4g platform.
