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.
- TeliaSonera was the first operator in register the 4G.
- The devices was manufactured by Samsung.
- The network infrastructure was created by Huawei (in Oslo) and Ericsson (in Stockholm).
- The first release was commercially deployed in Oslo (Norway) and stockholm (Sweden).
History:
4G
How it works:
4G
Advantages:

4G
Disadvantages:
- Higher data prices for consumers.
- It is very expensive and hard to implement.

5G
Is the five generation of broadband cellular network technology.
Definition:
5G
- Was oficial related in 2014.

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)
