严格的监管和经济的疲软,以及运营商对于延长3G商用网络的使用周期的期待,给欧洲4G网络的发展带来阻碍。2014年6月17日,一年一度的“欧洲发明奖”在德国柏林揭晓。这个由欧洲专利局颁发的奖项旨在对优秀、成功的欧洲大型企业的专利技术进行奖励。今年,爱立信公司的一个研发团队也名列该奖项的提名名单中。这个团队便是开发LTE移动网络技术的团队。 Strict regulatory and economic weakness, as well as operators’ expectations of prolonging the useful life of 3G commercial networks, have hindered the development of European 4G networks. On June 17, 2014, the annual European Invention Award was announced in Berlin, Germany. The prize, presented by the European Patent Office, is designed to reward the patented technology of a successful and successful European conglomerate. This year, a research and development team from Ericsson is also named in the list of nominees for the award. This team is the team that develops LTE mobile network technology.
