The next generation smartphone from Apple will be compatible with the fastest wireless data networks around the world, including the U.S., Europe and Asia. However, according to insiders, the original iPhone 5 will support LTE networks only through a limited number of mobile operators.
Technical compatibility with the so-called LTE networks will enable Apple to cope with attacks from competitors and provide mobile operators with the opportunity to sell their services for ultra-fast data transfer huge group of owners of Apple iPhone.
Smartphone makers, including market leader Samsung Electronics, have already started to offer compatible LTE phones to its customers around the world. This enabled them to achieve growth in sales and hit the part of the market share from Apple.
Providers of wireless data services want to attract more customers to the new networks, which are more effective and able to stimulate rapid growth of revenues from the transfer of media content. With LTE customers can use services such as streaming video, with maximum convenience.
The company Apple, is expected to unveil an updated iPhone, which will have more than its predecessor the screen, at a press conference in San Francisco on September 12.

Create a phone that supports multiple LTE bands is possible, but it is a major technical challenge for designers of chips needed to support different frequency ranges.
The new iPad, went on sale in March this year, was the first device of Apple technology to support LTE. But it only worked with networks Verizon Wireless and AT & T in the U.S., as well as Canadian Bell Canada, Rogers Communications and Telus.
