Telefonica to Bring LTE Technology to Six International Markets Telefonica is the latest carrier to announce its intentions to develop a future LTE network.

Curiously the number six appears again as Telefonica will run the test for six months and will work with six LTE technology providers.

Telefonica will work together with Ericsson, Huawei, ZTE, NEK, Nokia Siemens Network, Alcatel-Lucent to complete various LTE tests.
