Network deployment was put in charge of the Huawei Chinese company. Now inhabitants of Slough can enjoy high-speed mobile Internet. If the experiment is considered as successful, LTE-network will appear in other parts of the country.

4G-technology was developed to replace the networks of the third 3G generation. Theoretically, a system based on LTE can provide internet speed up to 326 Mbps downloads and to 86 Mbps uploads.

According to Matt Hatton’s words (an analyst from Analysys Mason), many companies are developing now phones with LTE support. Apple is working at its 4G iPhone, and Nokia, the Finnish mobile giant, does believe that LTE is the future of mobile communications.
