All eyes may be on WiMAX and the HTC EVO 4G for Sprint right now, but they won’t have the 4G focus for long. MetroPCS have announced that they and Samsung will be rolling out the US’ first commercially-availabile LTE network this year, with the first handset being the multimode CDMA/LTE Samsung SCH-r900.
While consumers will get to play with the SCH-r900, MetroPCS will have to get to grips with Samsung Mobile’s infrastructure and IP multimedia subsystem tech, which will form the backbone of the new LTE network. That adds up to real-time streaming video-on-demand and super-fast browsing speeds.
The MetroPCS LTE network should begin to roll out in the second half of 2010, though so far while the carrier has said it plans to cover “several” metropolitan markets, it has only named the Las Vegas metropolitan area. We’ve still yet to catch sight of the SCH-r900 itself, too, though we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled at CTIA Wireless; the photo above is of an unnamed Samsung LTE device spotted all the way back at CTIA Wireless 2009 by PC Mag.
