Long Term Evolution (LTE) represents the latest generation of high-speed cellular telephony, marketed as 4G. Developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), LTE boasts a flat IP architecture using IPv6, high throughput (up to 326.4 Mbps), and low latency (< 5 ms). Its flexible spectrum allocation supports channels from 1.4 MHz to 20 MHz, enhancing services such as mobile TV. With major players like TeliaSonera, Verizon, and AT&T adopting LTE, the technology promises a significant upgrade in mobile connectivity, paving the way for future advancements.

Long Term Evolution A New Revolution in Wireless Communications By Mike Yoho
What is LTE? • LTE is the project name for the newest generation of high speed cellular telephony • Marketed as 4G • Project of 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project )
The Benefits of LTE • Flat IP architecture utilizing IPv6 • High throughput (peak Mbps 326.4 86.4 ) • Low latency ( < 5ms) • Increased spectrum flexibility • Fluid mobility to legacy standards
More Benefits • Tower transmissions of up to 100 km with reasonable performance by utilizing the 900 MHz frequency band for use by rural areas • Increased spectrum flexibility supporting slices as small as 1.4 MHz to as large as 20 MHz • Support for Multi Broadcast Single Frequency Network (service used for mobile TV)
Implementation • TeliaSonera opened first publicly available network in Scandinavia on December 14th 2009 • Verizon to have infrastructure to support 100 million users in 30 regions by November 2010 • AT&T to have infrastructure to replace current GSM network by Summer 2011
LTE’s Future • LTE is receiving almost unanimous support from the cellular industry • A new standard (LTE Advanced) is in the works which is fully 4G compliant • LTE advanced will support gigabit speeds
