ST-Ericsson, a world leader in wireless platforms and semiconductors, announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, that its Long-Term Evolution (LTE) modem will support Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE broadband network.
The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network, launched in December 2010, is the fastest, most advanced 4G network in the United States, providing speeds up to 10 times faster than Verizon Wireless' 3G network. Verizon plans to expand its 4G network to the company's 3G coverage area. It already reached a third of all Americans.

"We are committed to working with Verizon Wireless to provide its customers with a better, faster and unprecedented mobile experience," says Jorgen Lantto, executive vice president and chief technology officer of ST-Ericsson.
"Our M700 LTE modem can download data at very high speeds, enabling consumers to enjoy demanding mobile multimedia services such as rapid file transfers, high-definition video streaming, video conferencing and online gaming."
