When pressed for answers regarding last month’s complete LTE network outage that lasted 24 hours, Verizon Wireless executive director of LTE ecosystem development at Verizon Wireless said the company learned some lessons from its outage and is making sure it won’t happen again while speaking during the Business Innovation conference hosted by Ericsson. What exactly the carrier is doing is anyone’s guess as anyone involved with the network is continuously dodging questions and refusing to elaborate on what caused the outage.
The network outage was the first major network failure for Verizon’s LTE network and affected operations to the point that it had to delay its planned launch of the Samsung Droid Charge Android smartphone. Originally scheduled for April 28th, it still has yet to be launched since being originally scheduled for a late April launch, with no new launch date scheduled since.
