Faster Cell Networks

Some of the world's largest wireless-equipment makers agreed Monday to a licensing framework they hope will accelerate adoption of a technology that would deliver much faster wireless Internet speeds. The group, which includes Nokia Corp., Alcatel-Lucent, Telefon AB L.M. Ericsson and NEC Corp., have agreed to limit the royalty fees they charge to license each other's patents related to a technology known as LTE, or long-term evolution. Within the next few years, wireless operators such as Vodafone Group PLC, AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless are expected to build the latest generation of mobile networks using LTE. The technology promises to allow for faster Web browsing and downloads over mobile phones and other wireless devices.
