Samsung Develops 4G Phone Modem

Samsung has announced it has developed a Long Term Evolution (LTE) / 4G modem. The modem, currently called the Kalmia, can support a download speed of 100 Mbps and an upload speed of 50 Mbps.

That’s fast enough to download a full HD movie in the background in one minute while you’re Twittering, Facebooking or checking your ‘mails.

Samsung says it’s currently working with developers preparing to launch a 4G phone network due to launch in 2010 – widely thought to be Verizon.
