Verizon Wireless is planning to simultaneously switch on its new Long Term Evolution (LTE) mobile network in the US next year in as many markets as possible.
The move to LTE from Verizon's existing CDMA EV-DO network as an "overlay" and not a "switchover," noting that the new network is able to use much of the existing infrastructure of the CDMA network including towers and backhaul gear. Commercial launches will happen in 25 to 30 US markets next year. It will seek to have the service available for some 100 million POPs (points of presence) in 2010 and continue to deploy the network over the next two and three years.
