Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless announced on Thursday that handset vendor Motorola was present at the International 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to demonstrate wireless HD video streaming on LTE. The demonstration is being made over Verizon's pre-commercial LTE network with 4G LTE data cards in mobile devices, the company also mentioned.

According to Verizon, the demonstration is the result of a joint effort between the handset vendor and Verizon Wireless’ LTE Innovation Center. The latter is aiming at offering companies the possibility to come up with products that benefit from 4G LTE technology, and is also designed to make advancements in the development of an embedded LTE consumer electronics ecosystem, the carrier noted.

“The capabilities we are able to deliver by joining forces with Verizon Wireless are extraordinary. We’ve been astonished at the transformation we see with mobile content delivery,” said Gary Koerper, vice president of Engine Systems for Motorola Mobile Devices. “The web has quickly become hyper-visual and we are at the forefront of technology to ensure a mobile web experience with no compromise.”

Big Red, as many of you might already know, aims at deploying an LTE network during the ongoing year, and should launch it at the same time in a number of more than 20 markets. The new network is expected to offer support for high-quality, high-definition web experiences, the carrier says, adding that Motorola's technology on the network should deliver video and mobility solutions for its users.

Moreover, Motorola is set to show at the event that broadband technologies such as LTE, WiMAX and HSPA can be enjoyed in notebooks, netbooks, portable gaming devices and more via the company's portfolio of datacard solutions. Motorola is one of the innovators in the communications industry, and offers a great deal of solutions in various areas, including high-definition video and mobile devices.
