Because the modem is designed with general purpose Deep Execution Processors (DXP), it\u2019s 40 percent the size of a conventional LTE modem. The benefit is a fast, high performance, adaptable modem in a tiny footprint.  <\/p>\n<p>Tegra 4i\u2019s modem is also multi-mode. It delivers 4G LTE Advanced and is backward compatible so it can offer LTE Cat 3, 3G, and 2G. That means it will work even where LTE networks aren\u2019t available. Other LTE Advanced features will be coming soon in software.  <\/p>\n<p>The CTIA demo used a tester which emulates an LTE Cat 4 network because live local LTE Cat 4 networks don\u2019t exist yet.&nbsp; In this demo <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.nvidia.com\/2013\/02\/how-phoenix-the-tegra-4i-reference-phone-will-bring-awesome-features-to-the-mainstream\/\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/blogs.nvidia.com\/2013\/02\/how-phoenix-the-tegra-4i-reference-phone-will-bring-awesome-features-to-the-mainstream\/', 'Phoenix']);\" >Phoenix<\/a> \u2013 the Tegra 4i reference smartphone \u2013 is connected to the tester and shows 150 Mbps.  <\/p>\n<p>We also demonstrated Phoenix running on a live AT&amp;T LTE network \u2013 showing video streaming over LTE and voice calls. It\u2019s a great proof point of our strong progress in Tegra 4i modem stability and performance. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"padding-left: 30px\">\n<p align=\"center\">Please join us in our <a href=\"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/abt\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">Forums<\/a> Become a Fan on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/AlienBabelTech\/123268467142\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/AlienBabelTech\/123268467142', 'Facebook']);\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> Follow us on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/alienbabeltech\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/twitter.com\/alienbabeltech', 'Twitter']);\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> For the latest updates from ABT, please <a href=\"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/?feed=rss2\" target=\"_blank\">join our RSS News Feed<\/a> Join our Distributed Computing teams<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div align=\"center\">Folding@Home &#8211; Team AlienBabelTech &#8211; 164304<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"center\">SETI@Home &#8211; Team AlienBabelTech &#8211; 138705<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldcommunitygrid.org\/reg\/viewRegister.do?teamID=3P39R3SRV1\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.worldcommunitygrid.org\/reg\/viewRegister.do?teamID=3P39R3SRV1', 'World Community Grid &#8211; Team AlienBabelTech']);\" target=\"_blank\">World Community Grid &#8211; Team AlienBabelTech<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NVIDIA\u2019s mobile processor for mainstream smartphones \u2013 Tegra 4i, which includes an integrated NVIDIA i500 LTE modem, chewed through 150Mbps of LTE data in a demo this week at CTIA 2013 in Las Vegas.&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2053,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2535],"tags":[6634,6637,6635,6636,121,1432],"class_list":["post-35302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-web-news","tag-cat-4","tag-dxp","tag-lte-advanced","tag-modem","tag-nvidia","tag-tegra"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2053"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35302"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35302\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
