Tegra 4i Gets LTE Blazing Fast Speeds With Modem Firmware Update



The NVIDIA's Tegra 4i was unveiled in February bringing, amongst other features, its built-in Cat. 3 LTE modem effective at speeds as high as 100Mbps. What NVIDIA didn't tell us was that the i500 modem, the product of its Icera acquisition, had the processing power to allow firmware update to the modem to improve its speed to Cat. 4 LTE 150Mbps. 

We visited NVIDIA and saw a "demo" photo above of the unit being benchmarked at 150Mbps along with placing a real call on AT&T's network and streaming video. Needless to say LTE-Advanced doesn't exist in real life yet, nor does an actual handset sporting this chip, though seeing one more player battling Qualcomm is just down right incredible.
