LG demonstrates “handover” between LTE and 3G CDMA network successfully

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: LG Electronics, the South Korean firm, reportedly announced that it has successfully demonstrated a data transmission or “handover” between a long-term evolution (LTE) network and a 3G CDMA network.
LG demonstrated that the online activities like video downloading and web-surfing can be maintained even when user switches between LTE and 3G CDMA coverage.
“The joint test with Canada’s Nortel explains standards-compliant CDMA-LTE inter-working. This also enables idle mode handover between CDMA and LTE and active mode handover from LTE to CDMA leveraging device assisted, network controlled functionality,” a company spokesman said.

Industry analysts say the successful trial will help the North American CDMA camp to jump into LTE mobile networks.
