Cellular technologies have developed enormously; one of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve surely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is BlackBerry DTEK50 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to BlackBerry DTEK50 4G technology in the following article.
Does the BlackBerry DTEK50 have 4G?
Yes. BlackBerry has included 4G in BlackBerry DTEK50 phone.
How can I know whether BlackBerry DTEK50 supports 4G or not?
Before buying your phone, you want to make sure that it enables 4G. You have so many options to do it, and we will list some of them here. The most obvious way is to check the criteria on the manual or in the phone’s package.
If you lost them or you are still lying on your sofa trying to choose a suitable phone for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you desire to check your current phone, just turn on the mobile data; if the BlackBerry DTEK50 4G data is available, then you will immediately notice immediately see a 4G sign on the top of the screen. You might see LTE or LTE+ instead of it. However, this way might be deceptive if you didn’t activate a 4G plan, or you are out of coverage.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to your settings and find network mode, usually as follows: Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) > Cellular Data Options (or Mobile Data Options). If your phone is 4G-capable you will find a 4G or an LTE option. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone doesn’t have the technology.
How to switch to 4G on BlackBerry DTEK50?
If you intend to activate your BlackBerry DTEK50 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- Tap Settings.
3- Choose More.
4- Select Mobile/Cellular networks.
5- Tap Preferred network type.
6- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you want to switch off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Learn about 4G technology on BlackBerry DTEK50
4G is the fourth generation of mobile telecommunication. It was first released in 2009 in South Korea, and it was deployed after that all around the world until it became the fastest and most used network in mobiles.
The provider of 4G network specifications is the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), it has also identified 5G, and 3G specifications before that. The ITU specifies what internet speeds and what latency limits are acceptable to call a network protocol a 4G.
Many protocols passed the test and qualified as 4G, the most important are LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
What distinguishes 4G on BlackBerry DTEK50?
4G was developed to grant a more reliable internet connection on mobiles, and that’s exactly what it did. 4G technology grants you much stronger downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed ranges from 1.5 to 9 Mbit/s, while the average 4G internet speed is between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can achieve as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another prominent criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can promote latency as the time needed to transfer data or the delay between the action and the actual response. Lesser latency means a better user experience. 4G Latency is better than 3G by double. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the help of the VoLTE standard, 4G now presents better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the ability to browse the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G augmented the use of BlackBerry DTEK50 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are available in the BlackBerry DTEK50?
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by wireless service providers. Why this matters to you? It matters because each phone carrier uses distinct bands corresponding to the area. And not all phones support all 4G bands, so you should assure that your BlackBerry DTEK50 supports the bands present in your area.
It’s hard to regularize the bands worldwide, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU segmented the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The BlackBerry DTEK504G-supported bands are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17, 20, 29, 30 – USA;1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40, 41 – EMEA;.
