So far we have seen very little indication of what 4G technology Microsoft is working on, but their job posts have become a bit more explicit recently, and the latest for the Connectivity team confirms LTE is the anointed technology.
They write:
The Connectivity team in Windows Phone owns all the OS Platform software which connects our users with their friends & family: cellular voice & data, IP networking stacks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, as well as Location Services (hey, it’s harder to connect if you’re lost). We offer a lot of interesting variety because we work with a range of hardware platforms and cellular technologies (CDMA/GSM/LTE). Our new phones are designed by Nokia and other leading OEMs, and operate every day on the world’s top mobile networks.
With 4G technologies rolling out strongly on Android, and carriers presumably demanding this technology in their flagship phones to promote their new networks, it is very likely that Microsoft will be prioritising this feature.
