Is LTE Cat 4 good?

The most important thing to know is that LTE-A promises to deliver true 4G speeds, unlike current LTE networks. You can expect the real-world speed of LTE-A to be two to three times faster than today’s LTE.

By supporting unprecedented 2Gbps speeds, the Snapdragon X24 LTE modem delivers 2x the speed of our first generation of Gigabit LTE modems through 4×4 MIMO on five aggregated LTE carriers—for a total of up to 20 concurrent spatial LTE streams.

LTE Cat 4 offers an uplink speed ten times faster and a downlink speed fifteen times faster than LTE Cat 1 measured in Mbps . In examining speed and power requirements Cat 4 devices are better aimed at higher data rates. For anything video based that is essential in real time viewing.
