Personal and Ericsson have launched LTE trial in Argentina that includes wireless broadband internet with peak speeds of 50 Megabits per second.

During the tests, which started this week at the Puerto Madero area, maximum download rates of up to 50 Megabits per second have been reported. Tests include streaming video demonstrations of high definition, video calls and file transfer speed, among other services.

Earlier this year Chilean mobile operator Entel PCS had performed LTE tests at Universidad de Chile. During the test, done over a real LTE network configuration, attendees had the chance to witness maximum download speeds of 50 Mbps, using 20 MHz (10 MHz for the uplink and 10 MHz for the downlink). The operator used Ericsson gear to perform its demonstration.
