Ericsson has unveiled its M700 mobile platform, they claim is the world's first commercially available LTE-capable platform, with peak data rates of up to 100Mbps in the downlink and up to 50Mbps in the uplink. They say that these speeds match, or in some cases surpass, fixed-line data rates, enabling a superior user experience, supporting advanced real-time mobile services such as online games and video streaming.

Supporting bandwidths between 1.4 and 20MHz, the M700 is compatible with networks around the world. It can support up to six bands, including the 700 MHz bands. Ericsson's interoperability testing ensures manufacturers can rapidly bring highly advanced devices to the market while reducing risk and lowering development costs.

Robert Puskaric, Head of Ericsson Mobile Platforms, says, "This launch marks a milestone in Ericsson's technology leadership and reflects our commitment to developing LTE as an evolutionary path. It is set to boost operators' service offering and provide consumers with a superior experience with full service broadband on any device, anywhere, at any time."
