Pioneer Cellular, one of 13 participants in Verizon’s ‘Long Term Evolution (LTE) in Rural America’ programme, has announced that it has successfully completed end-to-end data testing over its LTE network, in preparation for a commercial launch next spring in central and western Oklahoma. Prior to Verizon’s commercial LTE launch, in May 2010 its chief technical officer Tony Melone revealed that the company was looking to partner with an unspecified number of rural operators in an effort to speed up its LTE deployments. Verizon planned to lease pockets of its 700MHz spectrum to rural carriers so that they can roll out LTE networks of their own, over which Verizon will have roaming rights.
