What is the future of LTE?

GSA reported that the number of global LTE subscribers at the end on 2016 were up to 1.92 billion with the number of 4G connections alone that are forecasted to almost double by the end of the decade moving from 23\% in 2016 to 41\% in 2020.

What is LTE Advanced technology?

Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-Advanced) is a cellular networking standard that offers higher throughput than its predecessor, the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard. LTE-Advanced networks use multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) technology to deliver data faster via more than one signal.

How would you explain LTE Advanced to your customer?

LTE Advanced is the next major step in the evolution of our LTE networks. It’s a new network technology that’s expected to both help band-aid the massive increases in mobile data demand, and deliver much higher data speeds for all. That means better coverage, greater stability, and faster performance.

Is LTE technology really that fast?

LTE is designed for lower latency (the time it takes for data to travel in the network) and increased bandwidth – very interesting for the Internet of Things. In fact, bandwidth increases can be as high as 100 Mbps on the downlink and up to 50 Mbps on the uplink.

What is LTE Advanced Pro connectivity?

LTE Advanced Pro (LTE-A Pro, also known as 4.5G, 4.5G Pro, 4.9G, Pre-5G, 5G Project) is a name for 3GPP release 13 and 14. It is an evolution of LTE Advanced (LTE-A) cellular standard supporting data rates in excess of 3 Gbit/s using 32-carrier aggregation.

Where is LTE Advanced available?

4G+ and LTE-A These two are explained together because, well, they’re the same thing. It just depends on what country you’re in and how your carrier chose to brand it. In South Korea and the United States, it’s called LTE-A (or LTE Advanced), but in Singapore, France, Qatar, and the Netherlands, it’s called 4G+.

Is LTE advance faster than LTE?

LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) is an emerging and, as the name suggests, a more advanced set of standards and technologies that will be able to deliver bigger and speedier wireless-data payloads. You can expect the real-world speed of LTE-A to be two to three times faster than today’s LTE.

Is LTE Advanced 5G?

LTE-Advanced PRO, also known as 4.5G, is the next evolution of 3 GPP prior to 5G. But it does more than just push LTE capabilities closer to 5G. It also represents an integral part of the 5G mobile network, providing many essential services for the 5G experience today.
