What is 4G? • 4G is the fourth generation of mobile phone technology. It follows on from the existing 3G (third generation) and 2G (second generation) mobile technology. • Standard 4G is around 5 to 7 times faster than 3G. • Theoretically, it offers speeds of up to 150Mbps. • This means that in the real world, the maximum potential speeds are up to 80Mbps. • In India, Jio is one of the first companies to offer truly 4G speeds.
What is lte? LTE stands for Long Term Evolution. It is not as much a technology as it is the path followed to achieve 4G speeds. When the ITU-R set the minimum speeds for 4G, they were a bit unreachable, despite the money tech manufacturers put into achieving them. So, the regulating body used labeled LTE as 4G as it was still a substantial improvement over the 3G technology. 4G LTE was hence, displayed on the phone screens before true 4G was launched.
4g v/s lte • In most cases, when it comes to download speeds, there is a substantial difference between the two – 4G being faster. • As cellular carriers continue to update their LTE network, they have closed the gap between LTE and “real” 4G. • To take full advantage of 4G, you will need a smartphone or a tablet with 4G support. Older mobile devices cannot provide 4G speeds because they aren’t built to handle it.
