Qualcomm has officially announced world's first 2 Gbps LTE modem called the Snapdragon X24. The Snapdragon X24 LTE modem supports "up to 7x carrier aggregation in the downlink", including 4x4 MIMO on up to five aggregated LTE carriers. It is paired with an advanced RF transceiver built in 14 nm FinFET process technology, as well as Qualcomm QET5100 Envelope tracker which makes it the first modem to support 60 MHz envelope tracking for up to 3x uplink carrier aggregation with High Power User Equipment (HPUE) support in Band 41. The Snapdragon X24 LTE will be demoed at MWC 2018 in partnership with Ericsson, NETGEAR, and Telstra. It's been 6 months since OpenSignal released a State of LTE Report with the Philippines getting an average of 8.59Mbps. In terms of 4G availability, the Philippines ranked 72nd (out of 75) with 52.77% LTE coverage ( the percentage of the time that users can connect to a 4G network). This is a little better than the 44.8% LTE availability that the Philippines got back in November 2016. South Korea leads the pack with 96.38% LTE availability and Japan at 93.48%.
