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.
Read moreWhat does LTE Cat 16 mean?
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.
Read moreIs LTE CAT 1 4G?
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 moreHow does LTE Advanced enhance MIMO?
So how does this differ from standard LTE-A? The key to faster data via LTE-Advanced is the introduction of 8×8 MIMO in the downlink and 4×4 in the uplink , and the use of multiple carrier bands aggregated together to improve signal strength and bandwidth.
Read moreIs LTE advanced the same as 5G?
LTE-Advanced PRO, also known as 4.5G, is the next evolution of 3 GPP prior to 5G . But it does more than just push LTE capabilities closer to 5G. It also represents an integral part of the 5G mobile network, providing many essential services for the 5G experience today.
