LG touting 2 Gbps speed possibility on network upgrade
LG’s wireless carrier, LG U+, has announced plans to deploy their new GIGA multi pass technology which can theoretically deliver speeds in excess of 1.17 Gbps by combining Wi-Fi with LTE. That move will be followed later in the year with plans to double the speed to more than 2 Gbps.
To give some context, at 2 Gbps a user could download a typical UHD movie, running around 18 Gb in size, in about 1 minute and 12 seconds. A normal HD movie that is 1.4 GB in size could be delivered in only six seconds while 50 songs could be downloaded in only about 1 second.
The key to this expansion in available speeds is the result of developments in several technologies, like large capacity IP packet exchange equipment. LG worked with companies like UBIQUOSS to develop a switch that could handle the large packets and deliver around 3,000 HD movies simultaneously on the network. Other technology includes vRAN to help with base station traffic management and other virtualization technology.
