Higgins said about 30 products products have been developed from partnerships Verizon has struck with various large and small companies. The partners range from small companies like Nomad to wireless giants such as Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson.

Many of the devices have yet to go on sale, though most have been demonstrated at wireless trade shows. The products include a specially equipped car that has five video cameras that can be linked to an LTE smartphone, giving a user the potential to "watch" his car when it is parked in a distance parking lot.

In the Innovation Center, Verizon also showed off a video chat application that uses two LTE smartphones and will be ready for commercial use in 2012.

A combined antenna and LTE radio built by Alcatel-Lucent in the center was also shown today. The radio is about the size of a Rubik's Cube, and is designed for use in buildings and areas where there isn't room for a large antenna so wireless connections are hard to make.

Verizon also showed off a telepresence robot with a video camera and display from VGo Communications. The robot already been used for distance learning by patients too sick to attend classes.
