Understanding What Cellular LTEA Is

By Mary Reed


In today's world, everyone is looking for the best kind of cell phone that is able to operate up to their standards and needs. As technology grows more and more advanced, people expect and need it to have greater capabilities so that they will be able to use it for all of the various tasks that they need it for. Cellular LTEA is one of the many advancements that have been made in this area.

LTE stands for Long Term Evolution. What this means is the network that the phone uses will continue to grow and evolve so that it will keep up with the technological advancements. LTE Advanced is the latest form of these developments, providing the fastest and most reliable network yet.

There are so many different types of networks that it is almost impossible for the average person to understand it all. A good place to start is learning that the "G" in 4G simply means "generation". This refers to how advanced the technology is.

It is hard to even imagine a world without smartphones in everybody's pockets that can do practically everything a computer can do. Back when the most advanced phones out there were 2G, all they could do was handle phone calls, basic text messages, and minimal data. This was all achieved using MMS, which stands for multimedia messaging service.

Those who experienced the jump from 2G to 3G know firsthand how far the technology has come. Although 3G would be seen as slow nowadays, it could handle things like HTML, video, as well as music. However, it was often limited to pages that were specifically formatted for these devices.

The ITU-R, or the radio sector of the International Telecommunication Union, is the organization that made a definite standard in 2008 for what 4G technology should be able to do. These expectations were simply not able to be met, but it was more seen as a goal for technology developers to strive to reach as major advancements occurred over the years. Nowadays, many of the 3G devices are now able to function at 4G standards.

LTE is best explained as the route that developers took in order to get to the standards for 4G that they were expected to get to. Before these goals were able to be met, it was decided that LTE could be considered 4G so long as it was a major improvement on previous 3G networks. This sometimes comes as a shock to some who thought that their phone was actually telling the truth when it said "4G".

The things people can expect from LTE Advanced is better stability in their networks. People with this kind of network are also more likely to be covered wherever they go. All this combined with the fact that everything works much faster makes a lot of people interested in the evolution of this development.
