Greece speeds over 200 Mbps available by CosmoteCosmote Greece enabled the visitors of this year's InfoCom World conference to experience speeds over 200 Mbps available through its 4G network. Cosmote presented at its booth the enhanced capabilities of its network after the recent acquisition of new spectrum in 800MHz and 2.6GHz, through the pilot operation of a Base Station of short range. With the speeds achieved by Cosmote in the pilot demonstration, a 4GB movie can be downloaded in less than 3 minutes, and more than 150 songs of 8MB can be downloaded in just 1 minute. Fully exploiting the spectrum areas available, Cosmote assesses that it can record speeds of up to 300 Mbps. For this purpose, the company starts pilot tests immediately, so that these speeds can be commercially available in selected areas in the first half of 2015.
