The world's leading makers of telecommunications equipment have been asked to assist with trials on a handset capable of operating anywhere in the world, reported the UK's Financial Times. Vodafone, Verizon Wireless and China Mobile convened a meeting at the Mobile World Congress, the telecom industry conference, about Long Term Evolution, a mobile technology that could become the leading wireless broadband facilitator of the future. The list of those involved in the trials is impressive and underlines how LTE could be an enormous boon for equipment makers. They include makers of networks such as Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent, and Nokia Siemens Networks. The established handset makers, led by Nokia, LG, Motorola and Sony Ericsson are also involved, plus new device manufacturers such as Apple.
