4G and LTE: Difference Explained

4g and lte whats the difference?

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 arent built to handle it.
