An overview of LTE/LTE-advanced technologies, and how ModemManager will work with LTE devices.
3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the new standard for high speed data communications, an evolution of the 3GPP-family of standards (GSM, UMTS...), but adopted also by CDMA networks as the next 4G technology. ModemManager is a project running under the freedesktop.org umbrella, which works with NetworkManager in order to provide easy setup of broadband mobile connections in Linux-based systems. The new 0.6 release of ModemManager will be able to handle mixed CDMA/LTE and GSM/UMTS/LTE devices. This talk will provide an overview of the new LTE and LTE advanced technologies, from both network and device points of view; present the new features arriving with this technology; and describe what is being done in ModemManager to be able to manage 4G devices.
