Intel XMM 7260 LTE-Advanced Modem

Intel XMM 7260 LTE-Advanced Modem

The Intel XMM 7260 LTE-Advanced modem could possibly give the chip giant the serious wedge it needs to get x86 into mobility.

The hardware supports up to CAT 6 at 300 Mb/s and Carrier Aggregation up to 40 MHz. Due to the simplified two-chip design, Carrier Aggregation is achieved entirely within one chip, thus saving power, as fewer chips need to be engaged at the same time while aggregated LTE segments switch in and out. 

Supporting over 30 bands, to cover every country currently employing LTE technology, the XMM 7260 appears to be a truly global solution. What’s more, up to 22 of these bands can be used simultaneously, which means that switching between bands should be seamless - a key factor for globetrotters, as there would be no more need to carry a different device for every region.  

The XMM 7260 presents a serious effort from Intel to compete in the mobile space, and that's why it earned a spot on our Best Of MWC 2014 list.

    I wonder what kind of battery life that XOMA phone gets with 2 LCD screens sandwiched together.

    E-ink displays don't consume battery while displaying static images. They are far more efficient than lcd. As the producer said you can use this for some days off you get used to using eink display more than the other one

    The samsung gear fit is more a bracelet than a watch unlike the Galaxy Gear, plus it is more elegant, beautiful accessories for galaxy s5, I wonder if it work with galaxy s4 and galaxy s3
