There's more news regarding Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE launch on Sunday December 5. Verizon will also offer 4G LTE without a contract commitment, reports Sacha Segan on his Twitter account. The Verizon 4G LTE monthly rates will be the same; however, users will have to pay full price for the modem, which costs $249.99.
The rates for Verizon 4G LTE Mobile Broadband data
plans are $50 monthly access for 5GB monthly allowance or $80 monthly
access for 10GB monthly allowance, both with $10/GB overage costs.
Verizon 4G LTE will launch Sunday in 38 metropolitan areas and over fifty airports.
Verizon Wireless will use its nationwide swath of contiguous 700 MHz
spectrum to deploy its LTE/4G network. This spectrum covers the entire
lower 48 states plus Hawaii, and it gives Verizon Wireless customers the
nationwide bandwidth and coverage they need, when and where they need
it.
LTE provides enhanced security through the implementation of UICC Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and the associated robust and non-invasive key storage and symmetric key authentication using 128-bit private keys. LTE additionally incorporates strong mutual authentication, user identity confidentiality, integrity protection of all signaling messages between UE and Mobility Management Entity (MME) and optional multi-level bearer data encryption.
