LTE (Long Term Evolution)

4G

Is the fourth generation of broadband cellular network technology.

The difference with the other generations is that 4G have more speed transferring data.

Definition:

4G

• Was oficial related in 2009.

History:

5G

Speed: 20 Gbp/s download - 10 Gbp/s upload

Year: 2012

IoT

5G

Advantages:

• Speed Upgrades. (10 Gbp/s+, transmition of data).
• Low Latency (how long a signal takes to go from its source to its receiver).
• Enhanced Capacity. (More devices/connectivity)
• Increased Bandwidth. (Larger amounts of data to transmit)
