Singtel LTE 4G
Enjoy typical speed range: 3.4Mbps – 12Mbps) when you surf on 4G
Where got 100mbps ?

Maximum speed 100mbps since if they give you true 100mbps then each LTE tower need have at least 1gbps connection standby. Then your price will me RMxxx

If YES offers UNLIMITED local calls, texts and data with widely available public hotspots for RM50, I'll glad to subscribe it.
At home I can use my home wifi for calls too and texts.

Bandwidth in Malaysia is expensive since most of them is controlled by TM and some weird policy

Yes, buy if you dare to take the risk for such expensive hardware

The only confirmed compatible hardware is Huawei E398

not quite accurate info.

any LTE modem with unlocked status and compatible LTE frequency band then can be used for local LTE. 2600MHz + 1800MHz. same with singapore. ipad/iphone with US LTE band then cannot use local LTE, run in 3G HSPA+ mode. btw, a LG LTE smartphone version now can support local LTE band as well.

some LTE modem now is even lower price than 3G mode only 42Mbps modem, particularly compared with the E372 rocket high price. we will wait see how much the 2nd hand resale value of E372 in 4 months later... some buying LTE modem now are not main concerned for LTE usage, but seeing a lower price of a 3G 42mbps instead.

Who knows, just to be on the safe side as I dont think anyone have the access to those facilities except Telco related field. wink.gif

Weird stuff is Celcom seem to be very committed in LTE project and even openly published their test results.

Anyone know how is  this LTE going to be implemented?

Will it utilise simcard like the current 3G (HSPA+/WCDMA) , just a simcard or like YES, no simcard but using ID , like Streamyx/UniFi?

Wat will happen to the current 3G users, will they be offered upgrade packages or that LTE will act as supplement to the current 3G. This is where the dual usage modem , Huawei E398 come into play, simcard for 3G/HSPA+/DC and the modem itself using  ID to connect like YES?

Anyone can shed some light to this?

Thanks

I can confirm it will be using a Simcard just like normal.
You can authenticate to LTE network like normal when 3G comes into play too, the thing is I can't confirm is whether can old user aka legacy plan user get LTE QoS

Base on today Maxis trend of keep pushing 42mbps, I highly doubt they will give normal user the 100000 QoS

so meaning, it will be 3G simcard and LTE simcard.

3G simcard QoS will be 42000/8640 and LTE simcard QoS will be 10000/20000

Will current 3G users offered new LTE package or "force" them to migrate/upgrade to LTE?

Pls bear in mind that 3G is widely available BUT NOT LTE as only major town will be LTE READY come 2013.

I would hope that current 3G customers can retain the current package, Legacy,Unlimited99 or wat ever package that they are using and offer this LTE as an added platform, but in doing so nobody will take LTE as LTE might be very costly as the "Economics of  Scale" will not be met too  sweat.gif

Just hope 42000 can be unlimited forever that's good biggrin.gif
I doubt can the really congested Maxis Network have chance to break 50mbps

Now Maxis is selling more Hotlink Broadband (up to 42Mbps) to jam up the network, in doing so, current postpaid Data users might be "forced" to upgrade to LTE,  icon_idea.gif

See how clever Maxis is.

LTE same backbone, same RAN with 3G
So, worsen the congestion even more cry.gif
Unless 1 day Maxis decided to increase backbone bandwidth, then different story rclxms.gif

no worry, won't be simless like wimax devices. look at LTE modem/phone/tablet, already know simcard needed.

and would be all in 1 simcard - ie. if LTE network no in coverage, will auto switch to 3G. no need worry about this.

both 3G and LTE will stick together - (see our 3G network case- being running so long, still got ppl saying just getting EDGE signal). other countries also doing this way now.

and this is interesting part:

imagine u r the management of telco responsible of maximising 'value' for shareholders , not to get [replaced] should members not happy at agm, what would u do to maximising profits and keep company growing.. (hehe, then with this idea behind, u would probably know how telco will do)

similarly as streamyx vs unifi, as ppl claiming streamyx quality degrading due to (xxxxx), then ppl lean to sign up unifi fiber (get the idea?)
** btw, hotlink simcard now can use maxis 3g on usb dongle also? then i go get 1 try today - to help congest the network a bit  tongue.gif  **

Luckily I didn't live at the same location with you or another bandwidth competitor tongue.gif

Work for sure unless you using a locked modem

How many broadband you owned right now rclxms.gif
I think Celcom SKMM, Maxis SKMM, Maxis legacy, Yes and ???

that depends on how telco facilitate the plan, probably will have dedicated LTE+3G plan and 3G plan only separating. may or may not need to change simcard. device is definitely got to change for LTE support (modem/smartphone/tablet etc).

*noticing samsung galaxy SIII with LTE support appear in market already, right?

so better dont' commit to contract base plan now if planning to use LTE earlier next year.

Finger crossed doh.gif
Hopefully they go the American way. 3G upgraded to LTE, but at acceptable capped speed after hit quota.

Europe country LTE are rolling out and they are running on 2600Mhz, I expect there will be a 2600Mhz iPhone 5 nod.gif

Since Apple want to catch up the Android lead in Europe

Quick question for you—what technology do you use when you make a voice call on your shiny new 4G LTE smartphone? Answer - 3G, and in some cases even 2G!

Surprised? LTE is currently a data-only service, meaning, whenever LTE users make a voice call, the device falls back to the local 3G (or 2G) network, and places the call. And it will be so, for some time to come!

If you are wondering “why?” and “how?”—well, you have come to the right place! Read on to understand the Voice Evolution that is currently underway.

Wished that our local Telco will provide HD voice soon

Majority LTE in Europe is running on 2600Mhz + MY "love" to learn from the Europeans
Let's keep our finger crossed right now, since some trusted source state SKMM issued the license on 2600Mhz
QUOTE
Outside the U.S., the iPhone 5 will work with only three LTE frequencies: 850 megahertz, 1800 MHz and the 2100MHz, and it won’t support other frequencies commonly used in Europe. It means only two European mobile operators, EE and T-Mobile, are able to offer their customers the full power Apple smartphone.

I have to admit, Malaysia IMO will have to implement 1800MHz LTE at some point. There's just no way the telcos are gonna wait for next year's iPhone to support the 2600MHz band (if it ever will). That only leaves the option of using the 1800Mhz, and they better implement it soon or they'll face a lot of wrath from the people.


Added on September 14, 2012, 3:22 pmAlso does anyone know where can I get a Sierra Wireless Aircard 330U or the Aircard 762S? I've checked with Sierra and these two offer LTE at 2600/1800 GHz, DC-HSPA+/UMTS at 900/1800 MHz, and I THINK GSM at 2100 MHz so they're definitely compatible with our spectrums. Anyone who can help, please do!

Why not trying other brands eg:E398

At first I was gonna ask what's + MY "love" but then I got it LOL. And MY also another 1, couldn't they have learned from T-Mo / EE? But like I said, MY telcos definitely won't ignore the iPhone market. Whether they'll provide it at 1.8 GHz remains to be seen, but IMO they will.

I don't like Huawei and ZTE. Plus, the Sierra Wireless models not only look better, but they have better after-sales support and ease-of-use. There's a reason why they're used a lot by Western carriers you know (ie. Bell/Rogers/ATT/Sprint/Telstra...)
*
Most provider already planted their infrastructure, finger crossed
Anyway, bandwidth is expensive in Malaysia, that's what caused the congestion in current ISP

If you looks clearly at Europe LTE, the prefer Huawei for their equipment but as usual the westerns hate Chinese.
That's why there are Ericsson, Siemens, Sierra.
Truth hurts, Huawei excel on cellular field, this may be 1 advantage as well, cheap Network hardware rclxms.gif

If I subscribe to the unlimited 3G plan now, I want the contract t&c to stay. No point subscribing in the first place if its changed, in my opinion.

And probably local telco gonna copy Singapore.

Don't worry too much. If the location support LTE then DC-HSPA+ 100% will be supported

And you know how congested Maxis are currently. doh.gif

DC-HSPA+ is sufficient, I don't expect Maxis can even reach 40mb

Just curious, 3G mobile network will switch from H > 3G > E > G, then slowly switch back to H again.

Will LTE have this problem too?

Yes, that is inconsistent signal.

If you are on a location with very high signal this won't occurs

Or consider upgrading to a better device
