Nokia gets US FCC approval for a LTE tablet which is likely to be unveiled soon

Nokia’s devices business may be being bought over by Microsoft, but this doesn’t mean its hardware manufacturing has slowed down. The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has passed a Nokia tablet that is expected to run on the Windows operating system, Engadget reports, confirming earlier rumors that Nokia is making a Windows RT tablet.

The device, known as the Rx-114, supports LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 13 and 17, as well as the HSPA+ and GSM/EDGE frequencies — which means it should work on the three major US carriers AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile.

Given that Nokia World will be held in Abu Dhabi on October 22, it is likely that the tablet may surface then.
