SK Telecom (NYSE: SKM) today held a ceremony to declare the launch of Korea's first commercial LTE service, thereby opening the 4G era in full swing.
In April 2011, the company held a 4G LTE network demonstration for the first time in Korea at its Bundang Building's LTE Test-bed to showcase its advanced LTE technology by comparing speeds of 4G LTE and 3G WCDMA; showing LTE-based 3D video streaming and high definition video content download/ streaming; and demonstrating high definition video call between two handsets, one located in a moving bus and the other in the Bundang Building.
LTE is a next-generation network that enables ultra high-speed data service by providing maximum downlink speed of 75Mbps, which is five times faster than that of 3G WCDMA network (HSUPA) and maximum downlink speed of 37.5Mbps, which is seven times faster than that of 3G WCDMA, and even 1.9 times faster than Wibro that provides maximum downlink speed of 39.8Mbps and maximum uplink speed of 10Mbps.
