At the show itself, Verizon Wireless demonstrated various device prototypes to whet the appetite for LTE, as well as showing apps such as streaming video and live videoconferencing. The carrier said it was also collaborating with partners, notably Ericsson, for vertical market applications in areas such as the enterprise or healthcare - expected to be an important additional revenue stream, to top up consumer broadband income.
The videoconferencing demo used portable units from Creative Labs, which replaced Wi-Fi and Ethernet in its InPerson system with LTE. It is working to shrink InPerson products and incorporate an LTE module based on its Zii chip to make live videoconferencing fully mobile. In another demo, the movie Up was streamed in 1080p HD video over LTE at 4Mbps to a small tablet made by Motorola, with a processor from Nvidia, embedded LTE, and a user interface from Innovative Converged Devices.
