Bangalore: Samsung reportedly won the race to be the first device manufacturer to gain approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a phone based on the 4G LTE standard. The device known as Samsung R900 will have LTE connectivity as well as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and 3G EV-DO Rev, reports Brad Reed from Infoworld.
The FCC found that the phone meets the appropriate FCC rules after testing it in a lab in Columbia last month. Although the FCC's test results didn't specifically mention which carrier will get the phone, Phone Scoop reports that the spectrum used in the tests matches up with prepaid wireless carrier MetroPCS, which had already announced plans to launch an LTE device in certain markets by year end.
