Ericsson and Samsung Test LTE interoperability in Stockholm
Ericsson and Samsung successfully achieved interoperability between the world’s first commercial LTE device from Samsung and the live network from Ericsson in Stockholm, Sweden. Through extensive testing in Stockholm, Samsung LTE dongles and Ericsson’s infrastructure have complied with the industry standard for commercial deployment, 3GPP Release 8 March baseline. The end-to-end connection was provided via LTE FDD technology
“This is the first time a commercial, standard compliant LTE device demonstrated full interoperability with a live network. It is an important milestone for Ericsson and the mobile industry,” stated Johan Wibergh, Senior Vice President and Head of Networks at Ericsson. http://www.ericsson.com http://www.samsung.com

You just read about Ericsson. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Marconi Communications built Optical, broadband access and carrier switching. What became of it?
Marconi Communications brought Optical, broadband access and carrier switching to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Ericsson for £1.2B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Ericsson today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about LTE. Here is what it replaced:
iDEN served 1994–2013. What ultimately replaced it?
iDEN motorola's TDMA system that layered digital cellular voice, data, and near-instant push-to-talk (Direct Connect) onto fragmented SMR radio channels. Its job passed to LTE — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
