What does LTE support in the phone, smartphone? What is different 4G from LTE in a mobile phone?
An article about the concept of 4G LTE networks, their capabilities, use in smartphones, iPhones, tablets.

What is LTE?
English translation determines the value as long-term progress. Practically, the concept of LTE, these are the rules and norms of wireless high-efficiency data transmission over long distances with the means of communication, namely; Cell phones, tablets, smartphones, iPhones.
4G network
Rules and regulatory documents are based on the GSM / EDGE global worldwide rules system, which are adopted to increase the speed characteristics and bandwidth of communication channels between two stations. Rules, norms, are constantly improving, improving, change, in parallel with the development of scientific research.
The LTE standard supports GSM / UMTS, CDMA2000 networks, respectively, all over the world use certain rules, although working frequencies of cellular operators may be different.
The concept of 4G LTE
The concept implies the use of world rules and rules in 4G networks. Transmission of information on 4G networks is carried out at a speed developed up to 100 Mbps per second.
Actually, 4G and LTE, the names of the same standard.
LTE Communication, Internet in Mobile Phone (Smartphone)
Consider how the data transfer system in the 21st century was improved:
- network 2G (2000 year), data transfer rate up to 20 kbps per second. The network is designed to transmit text, pictures, voice messages, multimedia information.
- 3G networks (main peak of introduction and development 2010), data transfer rate up to 3 Mbps per second. The network is designed for the organization of video communications, movie views on your mobile phone, search for information on the Internet.
- 4G LTE networks (Peak development and implementation of 2010-2017), information transfer rate up to 5 Mbps per second.
LTE networks are designed for high-speed Internet, video, audio, conference communication, mobile communications, commercial mobile communications, television medicine, public order security projects, high-potential transmission management projects.
The smartphone is the most modern mobile phone telephone, it is in it that the LTE 4G standard is supported. The demand for a gadget with a high-speed information transmission system, high-speed Internet grows every day.
Smartphone information transfer rate:
- 100 Mbps per second when receiving a signal, that is, when downloading information or work on the Internet, for example.
- 50 Mbps per second, speed at return, that is, the rate of issuing information when requesting it on the Internet.
- theoretical values \u200b\u200bof the LTE 4G smartphone indicators, 300 Mbps per second at a reception, 170 Mbps per second when issuing information.
Conclusion: LTE 4G technology smartphones have great opportunities to use high-speed Internet, movie views online, skype communication, and so on. Since smartphones support 2G and 3G networks, they can freely work when the coating zone changes. For the Subscriber, this transition will be performed, not noticeable.
Capabilities and Nuances of the smartphone with LTE
- high quality communication characteristics.
- availability of price.
- ability to view video - online, music - online, video conferencing, video presentations, online games.
- using LTE technologies in two sim card smartphone supporting two operators.
- the trend towards lower prices, depending on the multiple growing demand of the consumer and the rapid development of technology.
- reducing the customs tax on the import of products.
The nuance of using LTE smartphones is certain boundaries of the frequency range in the Russian Federation. The frequency of smartphones from manufacturers does not always fit into this range. However, there is always an alternative, these are manufacturers of devices Optimus G, LG Optimus F5, Sony Xperia, Samsung Galaxy Express, operating in the frequency range, relevant to Russian standards.
Note: The operating frequency is indicated in the instructions for the product. Technologies do not stand still, more and more models appear, the frequency of which is in accessible to Russians, the range.
LTE communication in the tablet
LTE smartphone can be used as a Wi-Fi router. In the event that the network does not have a network on the tablet, you should connect your smartphone via the 4G network to the Internet, activate Internet access in the settings, get the network in the laptop or tablet.
The LTE tablet is most popular and justified for residents of large cities, for residents of small cities, district centers, it makes no sense to pay extra for using the Internet on this device.
Technologies do not stand still. The first "swallows" on 5G networks have already appeared, where the data transfer rate develops to 7 Gbps per second, that is, is ultra-speed. It means that the hour is not distant when the LTE system will be available for any region of Russia.
LTE communication in iPhone
Aphons from the Apple manufacturer actively support LTE connection. In the newest types of iPhone 7 and iPhone +7 use LTE modems from Qualcomm and Intel manufacturers. In this regard, supporting devices in the new range (1800 MHz) in Russia is actively developing. Subscribers having an iPhone 5 and Aipad mini will also access LTE networks.
The iPhone 6 models and iPhone 6+ are already operating in the range of operators of the Russian Federation.
Apple continues to expand the frequency list.
LTE networks, development perspective.
- increase the characteristics of the information transfer rate for mobile communications.
- expansion of the services format, thanks to the speed transmission of information.
- reducing the cost of mobile services, but improving the quality of communication.
