Current CPE is cat. 4, so limited to QAM16 on the UL. I've shared the chart showing what to expect at given modulations and coding.
The great shipping today will support QAM64 in the DL, as well as MU-MIMO, which is the most important thing. Not initially, but via software upgrade, just like current WiMAX COMPACTs have been getting upgraded to LTE. We told customers we be able to do it and here we are now doing it. It will be the same with the features on the roadmap. Every quote going out now -- unless someone wants to give new life to his 320s and still have a smooth path to LTE -- is based on LTE to start. We have the numbers now very close to what they were under WiMAX. Re our EPC, we are offering a layer 2 path, even MAC level authentication. I should note Stefan, North America is leading the LTE transition. Other markets are behind what we are doing.
