LTE Advanced uses carrier aggregation to speed mobile data over the network more quickly than ever before, providing customers with 50 percent faster peak speeds . Today, more than 98 percent of the U.S. population has access to 4G LTE and 90 percent of Verizon Wireless’ data traffic is carried over the network.
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 moreWhich 3GPP releases are related to LTE Advanced?
LTE Advanced Pro (LTE-A Pro, also known as 4.5G, 4.5G Pro, 4.9G, Pre-5G, 5G Project) is a name for 3GPP release 13 and 14 .
Read moreWhat is difference between LTE and LTE Advanced?
LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) is an emerging and, as the name suggests, a more advanced set of standards and technologies that will be able to deliver bigger and speedier wireless-data payloads. The most important thing to know is that LTE-A promises to deliver true 4G speeds, unlike current LTE networks .
Read moreWhat is difference between LTE and LTE-A?
What are the key differences between LTE & LTE-A and LTE-A Pro? The main aim for LTE-A Pro is to increase the data speeds and bandwidth that are currently available for mobile communications. Data speeds are set to be three times faster than LTE-A (in excess of 3Gbps whereas LTE-A was just 1Gbs) .
Read moreWhy LTE-A is faster?
LTE-A is the closest there is to true 4G speeds, but not quite there. The network can use what is called carrier aggregation, which combines up to 5 signals that let data pass through antennas simultaneously. This allows different carriers to combine the bandwidth signal and provide faster speeds.
Read moreWhich is better LTE-A or LTE?
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. It should also be robust, with fewer dropped connections as you move around.21 Oca 2014
