Intel LTE Modem to Deliver 1 Gigabit Speeds
Intel announced the XMM 7560 LTE modem, a fifth-gen wireless radio that can handle broadband speeds in mobile devices. The XMM 7560 is manufactured using Intel's 14nm process and supports LTE Advanced Category 16 for downloads up to 1 Gbps and Category 13 for uploads up to 225 Mbps.
The Intel XMM 7560 modem supports 5x carrier aggregation up to 100 MHz combined bandwidth on the downlink, and 3xCA for up to 60 MHz on the uplink. It supports 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM. Intel says the XMM 7560 works well with its SMARTi 7 RF transceiver, which supports up to 35 LTE bands and 230 carrier aggregation combinations for worldwide compatibility.
The XMM 7560 also packs envelope tracking and other power optimization features to improve battery life in smartphones, tablets, and PCs. The Intel XMM 7560 will sample during the first half of the year and Intel expects to see it in consumer devices shortly thereafter. Separately, Intel this week announced new efforts in its push toward 5G. It is working with Nokia, AT&T, Telefonica, 5TONIC, Ericsson, and others to define, prototype, and deliver early 5G products.

I don't get it, I thought Intel was pretty much dropping out of the phone market? Not that I'm complaining, this is one of very few things Intel has done lately that actually seems good, practical, and not made simply for the sake of competition. I'd like to see how this pans out.

In contrast to their other questionable activities (Hello, Optane and Drones!) I really like their push in LTE and 5G.
Yes, they need some time to get properly into the market, but they are close. And with no sight of mobile devices suddenly going out of our lives, I suspect they might do pretty good.
