lte vs 4g: BONGDATV

What are the differences between 4G frequency bands? Multiple frequency bands power 4G in the UK, each offering different characteristics.

Significantly faster is 4G. True 4G gives up to 1,000 Mbps, whereas LTE only offers 100 Mbps. The disparity vanishes when we compare LTE-A speeds, which also provide 1,000 Mbps. Because it depends on the LTE or LTE-A technology you are utilizing, there is no definitive answer to this question.

Summary of Differences: 4G: Refers to the overall fourth generation of mobile network technology, encompassing various standards. LTE: Specifically refers to a technology standard within the 4G framework, providing enhancements for high-speed wireless communication.

LTE stands for Long-term Evolution and is a standard that was developed as a path towards achieving 4G speeds. Initially, when 4G was defined, it was set to achieve speeds of at least 100 Mbit/s. However, carriers were not able to meet these speeds immediately.
