nitink 279 Report post Posted March 6, 2013 You asked for it.. You got it.. an LTE Chip That Will Work Anywhere in the World! Qualcomm made it known that they are releasing an LTE chip set that will work anywhere in the world. The RF360 chips provides connectivity for LTE-FDD, LTE-TDD, WCDMA, EV-DO, CDMA 1x, TD-SCDMA and GSM/EDGE networks. One of our members was able to find a video about this exciting new chip, enjoy! Manufacturers are sure to take this news well as it will allow them to make just one version of a phone that will work anywhere in the world. Thanks CJM for the tip and Dusty for the video! source http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-news/238078-you-asked-you-got-lte-chip-will-work-anywhere-world.html 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carriers will still continue to sell locked handsets even after this. It is more of a single chip solution for phone manufacturers so they don't have to use different/multiple radios in same model of handset catering to different countries/basebands. What would be the minimum timeframe for this to finally come on a commercislly available handset Second half of 2013 as per Qualcomm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got excited and got it all wrong. You are right. But it will be easy for the manufacturers to manufacture a single model and for the ROM and app developers to develop(only those apps that depend on certain frequency). Also, would be easy to unlock phones. Now every smartphone will be fully global (and the locked ones after unlocking) Edited March 7, 2013 by scott1391990 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 It supports all 40 basebands in the frequency range 700 to 2700 MHz. So yes to Reliance and BSNL both. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
