NTT Docomo says it will offer 5MHz mobile bandwidth for 37.5Mbit/s downlinks and 12.5Mbit/s uplinks when it launches Japan’s first commercial 4G LTE service in December.

The Japanese operator said it is eventually aiming for 10MHz bandwidth throughput for maximum 75Mbit/s downlinks and 25Mbit/s uplinks in selected test areas.

NTT Docomo began verifying its commercial mobile network system based on the Long Term Evolution (LTE) protocol in the Tokyo area, this month.
