Galaxy S4 will be first phone to use new Verizon spectrum
Verizon Wireless customers buying the recently released Samsung Galaxy S4 will be the first who can start using a new spectrum band that the carrier will start turning on later this year.
The carrier plans to equip its LTE network to use the additional
spectrum, in the Advanced Wireless Services band, in the next several
months. It will significantly expand the capacity available on the
high-speed cellular network.
Galaxy S4 owners will be able to turn on AWS LTE service on their phones
through a software upgrade in the coming months, with the Galaxy S4
becoming the first mobile device that can use the band, Verizon
spokeswoman Brenda Raney confirmed on Tuesday. The news had first been
reported by Bloomberg News. The Galaxy S4 for Verizon went on sale May
23.
Though the additional spectrum won’t increase the top speed of Verizon’s
LTE network, it will make more frequencies available for use. That
should improve a subscriber’s experience when many other users are vying
for the network.
