Motorola, Inc. reportedly announced that it is has collaborated with Verizon Wireless, in order to implement wireless high definition, or HD, video streaming over Verizon (News - Alert) Wireless’ pre-commercial long term evolution network with its own 4G LTE mobile platform. The solution will provide mobile consumers with wireless broadband experience in their mobile devices. The solution was showcased at CES 2010.

 

In a press release, officials with Motorola (News - Alert) said that this new collaborative endeavor with Verizon Wireless’ LTE Innovation Center will provide an environment or a platform for different companies to not only develop innovative products utilizing 4G LTE (News - Alert) technology, but also facilitates building an embedded LTE consumer electronics ecosystem.

 

The reason behind the deployment of wireless HD video streaming over LTE was to provide high-speed Internet to mobile devices. Some of the key advantages offered by LTE network are: high throughput, low latency, plug and play, support for FDD and TDD in the same platform, enhanced experience for end-user and simple architecture. In addition, LTE supports seamless passing to cell towers with older network technology such as GSM, cdmaOne, W-CDMA, and CDMA2000.

 

Verizon Wireless has plans to roll out its LTE network this year. It is expected that this LTE network will be launched in 25 to 30 cities by the end of 2010, according to sources, and has also begun data transmission trials in this regard.

 

According to Verizon Wireless, the company’s yet-to-be launched LTE network will not only provide increased speeds by up to ten times over current networks, but will also provide end-user with high-quality, high-definition Web experiences.

 

With the help of Verizon Wireless’ LTE network, Motorola will be able to deliver video and mobility solutions that are capable of supporting its customers’ new business models, company officials said.

 

At the CES (News - Alert) 2010, Motorola could stream an animated movie in 1080p over Verizon Wireless’ LTE network at 4 Mbit/sec to one of the company’s small handheld tablet device, which currently runs an Nvidia second generation Tegre processor and will eventually encompass a two-inch LTE module made by Motorola itself.

 

In addition to the above such demonstration, officials with Motorola said in the release that the company has also demonstrated how wireless broadband technologies including LTE, WiMAX (News - Alert) and HSPA cold be implemented with company’ portfolio of data card solutions in notebooks, netbooks, portable gaming devices and other networked consumer electronics.

 

“The capabilities we are able to deliver by joining forces with Verizon Wireless are extraordinary. We’ve been astonished at the transformation we see with mobile content delivery,” said Gary Koerper, vice president of engine systems for Motorola Mobile Devices, in the release. “The Web has quickly become hyper-visual and we are at the forefront of technology to ensure a mobile Web experience with no compromise.”
