Verizon will bring its 4G Long Term Evolution network to Chattanooga this year, the company said in a news release.
The cell phone carrier said it was part of a long-term expansion into 140 markets this year, after launching in 38 metro areas and 60 airports in 2010. The plan will reach throughout the metro area.
Verizon claims average speeds on its 700 MHz spectrum of between five and 12 megabits per second (Mbps) down and two to five Mbps up, “significantly faster than Verizon Wireless and other wireless providers’ current or promised 3G network speeds,” the company said.
Renault spy case points to China
PARIS – A French legislator said Friday that there are indications of Chinese involvement in a suspected case of industrial espionage at carmaker Renault.
Lawmaker Bernard Carayon, an expert on industrial espionage, said “proven, diverse and reliable” sources pointed to an effort to obtain secrets from three Renault executives suspended by the automaker this week.
“There are in effect several sources that are typically thought to be serious who consider that a Chinese buyer is in fact behind this operation,” said Carayon.
