Microsoft is expected to announce the availability of an LTE Surface tablet later this week at its Future Decoded, reports Ars Technica and others. The Surface Pro was announced in June 2017 and support for an LTE version was mentioned but with no details on the release date. Although Microsoft has called a halt to further developments of Windows 10 on Mobile (restricting updates to security patches and bug fixes) the importance of the Surface hardware to Microsoft is clear. That’s why the LTE option is a curious but welcome option. This won’t be the first Surface device to come with an LTE option, the Surface 3 came with such an option back in 2015, but the Surface Pro with LTE is going to be a different beast.
