Epitiro tests TeliaSonera's LTE network performance

   Epitiro has completed the independent speed, latency and voice quality-of-experience analysis on a commercially available LTE network. Tests recorded peak broadband download speeds of 48Mbps (36.1Mbps mean) where as Mean latency was just 23ms.

  Epitiro, at the same time, tested TeliaSonera's legacy 3G network; LTE delivered mean download speeds nine times faster, and its latency was five times faster. Analysis of IP calls to the UK, made using voice over LTE (VoLTE), found the quality to be ‘excellent’ on average with only 1 call in 298 being of inferior quality.

  “Based on our observations, this LTE rollout is directly comparable to high-speed fixed
line services. Further, the low latency times measured indicate the Finnish LTE service is capable of handling the most demanding of web-based applications including VoIP, video streaming and even HD IPTV,” said Jon Curley, CTO, Epitiro.
