LTE (Long Term Evolution) or 3G Long Term Evolution is the evolution of mobile cellular communications technology towards a full edge to edge broadband ip network, and is introduced in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 8.

The aim of this 3GPP project is to further develop the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) standard and provide an enhanced user experience and simplified technology for next generation mobile broadband. Scientists and design engineers from more than 60 operators, vendors and research institutes have teamed up to realise this radio access standardization effort.

Much of the 3GPP Release 8 standard will be oriented towards upgrading UMTS to 4G mobile communications technology, and an all-IP flat architecture system.

What is LTE

LTE stands for Long Term Evolution.LTE is a standard for 4th generation (4G) mobile broadband which is aimed to be the successor to the 3G technologies GSM/UMTS.

LTE is already implemented in many countries but still in the early stage.

LTE is also considered the competitor to WiMAX.

LTE promises to provide theoretical peak download rates of up 100Mbps (rates with varies based on environment etc) and peak upload rates of up to 50Mbps.

LTE is a better technology than wimax becauste LTE will make people free from the burden of having to find a WiFi hotspot (Wimax) when they are on the road.

As long as you have an LTE modem, LTE subscribers can connect to the internet anywhere in the service provider's coverage area!
