KOREAN PHONE MAKER Samsung has announced that it will launch dual-mode time division duplex (TDD-LTE) and frequency division duplex (FDD-LTE) LTE versions of its Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S4 Mini smartphones.
Samsung's popular Galaxy S4 handsets, like models from its competitors, have to deal with a multitude of LTE modes and frequencies. Now the firm has said that it will release Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S4 Mini handsets that support TDD-LTE and FDD-LTE and promise seamless handover of voice and data between the two types of networks.
According to Samsung, TDD-LTE will increase in popularity in the coming years and the firm said that its handsets will have the ability to switch between the widely deployed FDD-LTE networks and the emerging TDD-LTE networks. The firm added that mobile operators will be keen to make use of both networks to balance loads between FDD-LTE and TDD-LTE networks. This could mean that if enough smartphones have the ability to switch between the networks that might gain popularity with mobile operators as a way of saving cash on infrastructure.
Samsung co-CEO and president of its IT and Mobile division JK Shin said, "Samsung continues to accelearate global LTE market deployment, addressing technical challenges faster than anyone else. With today's TDD/FDD LTE seamless handover devices announcement, Samsung again demonstrates the company's commitment to driving better, more convenient customer experiences.
"The first commercially available TDD/FDD [LTE] seamless handover devices will allow customers to fully enjoy the benefits of fast mobile data communications no matter where they are."
While Samsung is pushing ahead with devices that are capable of future LTE deployments, Ofcom only finalised its plans to reuse 2G and 3G spectrum for 4G earlier this month. However the announcement highlights Samsung's ability to produce updated versions of its existing phones with bleeding edge features, unlike most of its rivals. ?
