LG passed a device called the M4 through the FCC today.  Interestingly, the M4 is described as an “AWS LTE Device,” possibly making it one of LG’s first LTE devices to hit the states.

Now, LG has been doing a lot of work on LTE lately.  The company recently completed the first CDMA to LTE handoff, with help from Nortel.

With the LG M4, it appears that LTE is coming soon.  Verizon has already announced plans to deploy a LTE network in early 2010, so I’d suspect that the LG M4 is probably destined for Verizon.

LG didn’t release any pictures of the M4, save for the label pic above.  I’m actually not sure exactly what kind of device this is, but I’d guess it’s a USB wireless modem for wireless data access.

In any case, this is an exciting development.  It looks like 4G LTE will be upon us soon.
