NTT Docomo is readying an upgrade of downlink speeds for its Long Term Evolution network to a maximum downlink of 150 Mbps in Kawasaki and Kanagawa Prefecture starting July 30, 2013.
The verification tests come in advance of the planned launch of a 150 Mbps commercial “Xi” LTE service, the fastest in Japan, starting in parts of Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya this October, 2013.
Docomo already offers LTE at speeds of 112.5 Mbps downlink service to more than 130 cities. The service initially launched at 75 Mbps downlink speeds in 2010.
