In short, Gigabit (Category 16) LTE is 256QAM, 3×20 MHz CA, and 4×4 MIMO . The actual rated downlink speed achieved through this combination of technologies is not quite 1 Gbps, but 979 Mbps. Later we’ll discuss what sort of real-world speeds you can expect. Paired with a Cat 16. LTE will be a Cat 13.

Cellular LTE Cat 1 modules support 4G and 5G .
Read moreWhat does LTE Cat 18 mean?
LTE Cat 18 is the new technology introduced by 3GPP as part of the LTE Advanced protocol , that supports up to 8 spatial streams, 4×4 MIMO on 3 LTE carriers, 5×20 MHz carrier aggregation and 64/256 QAM.

What is LTE Cat 1? 4G LTE Cat 1 speeds reach 10 Mbit/s in the downlink and 5 Mbit/s in the uplink , making it ideal for a vast number of feature-rich M2M and IoT applications including those requiring video streaming and voice support.18 Oca 2022
Read moreIs LTE+ faster than 4G?
In laymans terms, the difference between 4G and LTE is that 4G is faster than LTE . The reason for this is that 4G meets the technical standards designated for it whereas LTE data transfer speed standard is merely a stopgap measure standard devised until actual 4G speed is realized.17 Eyl 2019
Read moreWhy does my phone say LTE+ instead of 4G?
So the reason your phone says LTE is because you are in an area that has the fastest internet speeds . When you are in an area in which your phone says “4g” it’s because you are using a cell phone tower that has the slower, HSPA, internet speed.
Read moreWhat is LTE+ mean on my phone?
LTE+ is LTE Advanced (meaning multiple cells, currently almost exclusively 2, and typically is deployed with up to 300/100 or even 600+ mbps). the real advantage doesn’t lie in the max speed (first it’s rarely achieved, second 150 is pretty fast anyway), it lies in the reliability of your speed.30 Oca 2018
