Intel ... announced ... the commercial availability of ... LTE modem [which

commercial availability 翻成"提供服务"不精确，建议"上市"
"促进民众的普及使用"是哪里来的？
该公司...抢攻...高通 ???
dominant 4G chipmaker Qualcomm 怎么会翻成"全球最大手机芯片制造商"?

"早在去年...耳目一新之感"你的翻法让人觉得是_今年_的LTE modem未能让人有耳目一新
之感，但原文明显是说_去年_的那款。
"虽然有支援4G网络，但在LTE技术尚未普及化之前，2G和3G网络并不需要仰赖4G网络。"
完全看错。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. = 旧款 LTE Modem 只有4G，没有2G和3G，但手机没有LTE网络时仍然需要
2G与3G技术作为候补。
"the radio chip" 是指"本芯片" i.e. XMM7160, 而不是什半路杀出的"微型射频芯片"
"同时也搭载英特尔Atom芯片，提供无线连接的服务。" 让人看来好像无线连接服务需要
radio chip 跟 Intel Atom 一起才能运作，但原文只是顺便一提 Intel Atom。

failed to gain traction among global carriers 无法获得国际电信业者支持
making it an instant force in ... 让 [Intel] 可立刻立足于 ...
Qualcomm modems powered the first LTE smartphones back in 2011 = 2011年首款
LTE 智慧手机上市时，靠的就是高通的 modem
: "Late", however, is a relative term, according to Aicha Evans, Intel VP of

: 然而，对英特尔无线部门副总裁艾万斯（Aicha Evans）而言，"晚一步"却有不同的解释
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: 。高通或许先占了上风，但英特尔自收购英飞凌后，便重新拼创LTE事业。艾万斯表示：
: “别人花7年做不到的事，我们只花3年半就达成了！”
先酱~
