NVIDIA has announced the new LTE version of its Tegra Note tablet today. It will be released in select markets for a price-tag around $299. The company will offering three different versions of the tablet, one with US-LTE support, other with EU-LTE support and the last with 3G and voice-calling support.

The Tegra Note Wi-Fi versions from various NVIDIA partners across the world will be getting this update over the next-few days.

According to NVIDIA, it is using the i500 LTE modem for the 4G/ 3G support.

“The Tegra NOTE 7 LTE’s worldwide connectivity is provided by our cellular LTE modem chipset, the fifth-gen NVIDIA i500 processor. i500 leverages a unique software-defined radio technology – meaning it can deliver new capabilities via software without requiring an entirely new chipset. Another big plus is higher efficiency – it’s only 40 percent the size of conventional modems but has 4x the processing capability of its predecessor,” NVIDIA noted in a blog post.
