Cellular technologies have progressed enormously, One of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve certainly faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is ZTE Anthem 4G enabled? We are going to answer these and other questions related to ZTE Anthem 4G technology in the following article.
is ZTE Anthem 4G compatible?
Yes. ZTE imbedded 4G in their ZTE Anthem 4G phone.
How can I know whether a phone is 4G enabledor not?
The safest option to check the existence of 4G network in any phone, is to check the official website, or the official packaging.
Another trusty option is turning on mobile data, and checking whether the phone connects to a 4G network or not, you’ll find that out simply by the appearance of a 4G or LTE sign in the status bar.
Another way is to check the settings: open your settings and look for network mode, usually as follows: Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) > Cellular Data Options (or Mobile Data Options). If your phone supports 4G you will find 4G option or LTE. If you don’t see 4G or LTE, then your smartphone doesn’t support the standard.
How to switch to 4G on ZTE Anthem 4G?
If you want to enable your ZTE Anthem 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, select Settings.
3- Choose Wireless & networks.
4- Tap Mobile networks.
5- Tap Preferred network type.
6- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you would like to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Introduction to 4G technology on ZTE Anthem 4G
4G is the fourth generation of wireless technologies, it comes just after 3G and before 5G. Although 5G is the fastest technology present in the market, 4G is still the fastest most deployed technology.
4G has fast uploading and downloading speeds, overtaking the previous 3G standards, and it also comes lower latency, allowing users to try much more things using their mobiles, things such as live conferencing.
To be more accurate, 4G is a term named by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and it is also a commercial term used by wireless service providers to promote a set of protocols used in their networks.
One of the most famous protocols is LTE and LTE-Advanced, So for ZTE Anthem 4G to be useful, it should be correspondent with the protocols used by the local telecommunications companies.
Why 4G on ZTE Anthem 4G is important?
4G has all the attributes of 3G at more speed. It provides download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times faster than 3G. And it gives more than ten times the uploading data speeds of 3G, ranging from 8Mbps up to 50 Mbps.
Low latency is another advantage, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Although it’s only a bit lower than 3G, it is very necessary for some use cases such as video conferencing or online gaming, and other live interactions.
The emergence of VoLTE standard added another advantage to 4g network which is the ability to make phone calls and browse the internet concurrently, with even more appropriate voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with ZTE Anthem 4G technology.
What are 4G bands? and which bands are supported on the ZTE Anthem 4G?
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by phone carriers. Why this matters to you? It matters since each phone carrier uses distinct bands according to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should assure that your ZTE Anthem 4G supports the bands offered in your area.
It’s hard to standardize the bands internationally, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU divided the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The ZTE Anthem 4G supported bands are:
2, 4;.
