Motorola announces 4G-ready USB modem for LTE networks worldwide

Motorola got things rolling yesterday at the 4G World 2010 conference in Illinois this morning with the introduction of its portable LTE USB-lt key.

The FDD LTE USB-lte 7110 device is intended for use on 4G LTE networks worldwide, even those not necessarily supported by Motorola. However, Motorola hasn't specified any networks at all yet.

Using a "common" USB interface (most likely 2.0), this wireless modem should be capable of handling streaming HD movies, video chat and blogging, and quicker uploading of videos to social networking sites.

The rest of the nitty-gritty details (such as specific transfer speeds, pricing and a launch plan) have not been revealed yet.
