What is LTE?

LTE stands for Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and is a standard for wireless broadband communication for mobile devices and data terminals, based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA technologies. LTE is the technology behind 4G and is sometimes referred to as 4G LTE. LTE is slower than “true” 4G, but significantly faster than 3G. LTE Cat 1 was designed for Machine-2-Machine (M2M) and industrial IoT applications and provides a faster 10Mbit/s maxikum downlink speed and 5Mbit/s uplink compared to the oeak downlink speed of 300Mbps provided by LTE.
