Both devices showcase GCT’s highly-integrated monolithic LTE single-chip, GDM7240, that enables mobile terminals to take advantage of the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network.

GCT’s GDM7240 is the most mature LTE chip available today, designed to meet the rapidly-growing demands for higher speed data, more mobility, enhanced applications and global roaming. This superior LTE solution offers high performance, low power consumption and high throughput. GDM7240 is in volume production now and is currently used in one of Verizon Wireless’ recently-released 4G USB modems.
