Huawei Ascend P1 LTE set for North America debut

Another day, another smartphone hits the FCC, where this time around it would be the Huawei Ascend P1 LTE that has undergone testing over by the folks over at the FCC. This spanking new FCC filing does seem towards North America as the destination of choice, where a particular version of the Huawei Ascend P1 LTE has been cleared, where we know that it will come with the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system in tow, not to mention AT&T-friendly 700MHz LTE frequencies. Throw in AWS support and you can also introduce it to LTE providers in Canada alongside future T-Mobile, or should we say MetroPCS, deployments.

Other than that, AWS-based 3G, 850MHz and 1,900MHz approvals for North American HSPA providers are also part of the deal. It goes without saying that the Ascend P1 LTE looks set to cater for a wide range of mobile providers if it ever makes its way across the pond, and Huawei is certainly not one who puts all of their eggs in a single basket where the Huawei Ascend P1 LTE is concerned.
