What is Long-Term Evolution (LTE)?
Long-term evolution, or LTE, is designed to improve both speed and capacity for mobile networks compared to the 3G
systems you used before. Its refined technology represents a significant advance over previous cellular systems such
as 3G, offering you a much-improved internet connection, as well as more reliable data transmission , ever more
important for modern smartphone use.
What is Long-Term Evolution used for?
LTE is the key technology behind:
Faster mobile internet access for your phone and connected devices .
Better support for data intensive activities, such as streaming your favorite show on your phone.
Faster speeds means it is possible to allow real-time communications for IoT and telematics systems .
Your connected vehicle systems , such as
navigation or traffic alerts, are more responsive thanks to faster connections.
How does Long-Term evolution Work?
Designed for increased capacity and greater speed, LTE offers significant advantages over previous cellular
technology, and this is achieved in a number of ways:
Highly Efficient Data Encoding — LTE gives you more efficient encoding and decoding of your
data, so you enjoy faster sharing speeds.
Increased Spectrum Usage — A wider spectrum means more connections, increasing your bandwidth when sharing data.
Enhanced Network Architecture — Systems have been optimized over previous versions, to make
data sharing more robust and reliable.
Advanced Antenna Technology — Adopting MIMO (Multiple In, Multiple Out) technology increases
connection stability, supporting faster transmission speeds and increased capacity.
Together, they give Long Term Evolution the speed and capacity to deliver the performance we need as we shop,
communicate, search and play online.
Examples: AutoPi TMU CM4 and AutoPi Mini
Taking the automotive industry as our example, the AutoPi TMU CM4 and the AutoPi Mini use every advantage LTE brings
to give you real-time telematics for your vehicle.
AutoPi TMU CM4 : Using LTE for high-speed
data transmission, this device can provide you with vehicle monitoring and diagnostics and high performance
connections to other systems.
AutoPi Mini : With efficient data handling
and real-time alerts, the Mini uses LTE to expand the functionality of your vehicle.
Conclusion
Whether its checking your bank balance when out or the needs of connected vehicle technologies, being able to
connect and share data on the go is becoming essential. Devices like the AutoPi TMU CM4 and AutoPi Mini is able to
use LTE to provide things like real-time telematics and
other advances that make car ownership easier.
Whether you are streaming the latest TV shows or using the connected and intelligent systems developed for your car,
the importance of LTE cannot be understated.
