What is LTE in the tablet

The first computer appeared in 1971, but then it occupied a lot of space, and each part required a separate room. The connection from this computer was wired. But technology does not stand still and develop. That is why computers are constantly changing. Changes occur in different areas. For example, the size of the computer may vary, different types of gadget may appear. One such kind, which appeared in 2002, can be considered a tablet - a tablet personal computer. On it are available all the functions that are in the computer. The only difference is how the tablet connects to the Internet.

To access the Internet, most tablets use wireless connections - wi-fi or mobile technology. Mobile communication is of two types:

• 3G;
• 4G (LTE).

And if everything is clear with 3G, then many people have questions about LTE. We will understand together what it is.

LTE as a modern technology

What is LTE

Other name LTE - 4G. This suggests that we have 4 generations of technology, much more advanced than the previous ones. The abbreviation LTE stands for Long Time Evolution. This suggests that technology makers plan to further develop it.

IMPORTANT! The main difference between technology and 3G is in data transfer speed. The minimum data reception speed is 300 Mbit / s, and the minimum data transfer rate is about 170 Mbit / s.

One of the main goals that the creators had was to reduce the cost of data transmission and “unload” other networks. That is why a new circuit was created.

Modes

Users of modern devices are provided with the Internet due to the IP protocol and a large number of nodes. After all, the more complex the connection, the better it is. The technology can operate in two modes.

• Tdd - data channels are compacted. And it allows to improve the quality of the radio connection (cellular connection).
• Fdd - signals are divided by frequency. This increases the stability of the connection, and improves the quality of the connection.

Ranges

On the territory of Russia, work takes place in a separate range:

• 862 MHz to 791;
• from 2700 to 2500. Other devices do not work in this range, so there is no interference for operation.

The capacity of such devices is about 150 Mb / s.

REFERENCE! LTE is much more resistant to interference than other types of communication.

Using

Although the technology is currently used only for data transfer on mobile devices, the range will increase in the future. Gradually, innovation will be integrated into many other devices, including:

• security and alarm systems;
• video surveillance systems;
• online banks;
• emergency services;
• various household appliances.

But currently LTE is only available on mobile devices, and these devices have certain advantages.

The advantages of tablets with LTE

LTE advantages

• The main advantage of tablets with LTE from tablets with other types of communication is data rates. Owners of a device with LTE can download movies, music faster and, in principle, use the Internet faster. Also, users can create video conferences with a large number of subscribers and watch various videos in FullHD quality.
• Another advantage is tablets. doesn't use battery power so muchas other types of connections do. Therefore the device discharges more slowly.
• The next advantage is in wide coverage area. This is because tablets using this technology may also work in 3G coverage. Thus, if a person leaves the area where LTE works, he does not lose access to the Internet. Just the tablet will automatically switch to 3G, and the subscriber will stay in touch.

ATTENTION! Technology can not only be embedded in the tablet. There are also special modems. These modems are fairly simple to use, they just need to be inserted into the tablet. Then the tablet can be used not only in the city, but also at the cottage and on the highway.

LTE problems

In addition to the advantages, the technology also has certain pitfalls in the tablet.

• This is a very young technology, and now there is not in all Russian cities. Therefore, before buying such a tablet, you need to consult with the mobile provider of the region.
• Incompatible standards. Devices with this technology in Russia operates in a certain frequency range. It differs from Europe and the USA.. Therefore, you must be very careful when buying a tablet in other countries or on sites such as eBay and Amazon.

LTE is a very promising technology with a great future. That is why now you need to buy devices with lte.
