commercial availability 翻成"提供服務"不精確，建議"上市"
"促進民眾的普及使用"是哪裡來的？
該公司...搶攻...高通 ???
dominant 4G chipmaker Qualcomm 怎麼會翻成"全球最大手機晶片製造商"?

"早在去年...耳目一新之感"你的翻法讓人覺得是_今年_的LTE modem未能讓人有耳目一新
之感，但原文明顯是說_去年_的那款。
"雖然有支援4G網路，但在LTE技術尚未普及化之前，2G和3G網路並不需要仰賴4G網路。"
完全看錯。原文是 [last year's LTE modem] support[s] 4G networking but [not]
3G and 2G... [but] mobile devices need [3G and 2G] to fall back on, when LTE is
unavailable. = 舊款 LTE Modem 只有4G，沒有2G和3G，但手機沒有LTE網路時仍然需要
2G與3G技術作為候補。
"the radio chip" 是指"本晶片" i.e. XMM7160, 而不是什半路殺出的"微型射頻晶片"
"同時也搭載英特爾Atom晶片，提供無線連接的服務。" 讓人看來好像無線連接服務需要
radio chip 跟 Intel Atom 一起才能運作，但原文只是順便一提 Intel Atom。

Qualcomm modems powered the first LTE smartphones back in 2011 = 2011年首款
LTE 智慧手機上市時，靠的就是高通的 modem

: 然而，對英特爾無線部門副總裁艾萬斯（Aicha Evans）而言，"晚一步"卻有不同的解釋

: 「別人花7年做不到的事，我們只花3年半就達成了！」
