Megabits per second (Mbps) with typical speeds ranging between 12 and 25 Mbps
and up to 100 Mbps as the platform evolves.
“The desire to leverage the latest 4G LTE speeds
on-the-go is a palpable and growing trend in many markets today,” said Rob
Hadley, CMO, Novatel Wireless.

the country’s largest wireless market in the Toronto area, demonstrates Bell’s
commitment to the continued growth of the country’s wireless ecosystem,”
