Since the middle of 2008, Basking N.J.-based Verizon Wireless, a division of , has been testiny what it calls its fourth or 4G, network in 25 cities across the countrh and world, including Columbus. “Columbus is alwayss a good placefor innovation,” said Tom Verizon’s vice president of technology. “It has good demographics there are many earlyadopters (of technology).” Sawanobori said Verizon plans to continus testing the high-speed network through the middle of the year in Verizon is spending approximately $50 billion to builfd its fourth generation network, and spent abou t $258 million in Ohio in just the past Sawanobori said.
He declined to say if Centra l Ohio will be among the first markets to have newnetworki service, but did say the companhy plans to roll it out “prettyu aggressively” over the next four When it does come, Verizon customer s who want to use the networkl will have to buy new phones. Verizon’se networks are based on a technology calledCDMA technology, which is used almost exclusivelyu in the United States. Throughoutg the rest of the world, cell phonse networks are based onGSM Verizon’s fourth generation network is basedd on Long Term Evolutiohn technology.
LTE is derived from GSM and Verizon officials believe LTE will become the dominant technology choice inthe future. “Manyg other major wireless service providers, both domestic and foreign, have also selectefd LTE as the technology for their4G deployments,” Verizom said in its 2008 annual repory filed with the . “As a we believe that LTE will provide us with the opportunity to adopt an access platform withglobal scale.” Verizon’s network will use radii waves currently being used by television stations.
