100 Mbps in 2010
Man, these guys never quit. Monday we reported that DoCoMo plans to deploy a 14 Mbps 3G cellular data network in 2 years. Today IDC is reporting that DoCoMo is beginning research on the 4G network they intend to roll out "around 2010".
"NTT DoCoMo Inc. will open a telecommunication research and development laboratory later this year in Beijing, the company said Tuesday. The lab will concentrate on research of so-called 4G (fourth-generation) wireless mobile systems. It will become DoCoMo's second lab to focus on such research after the company's main research and development laboratory at the Yokosuka Research Park near Tokyo. A new wholly owned subsidiary, DoCoMo Communications Laboratories Bejiing Co. Ltd., will be established and capitalized at $5.3 million to operate the center. At testing in its Yokosuka research labs, NTT DoCoMo has already achieved such a speed over a short range indoors and is now working on increasing the range and taking the system outdoors."
