What is 4G on ZTE Open L?
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 ZTE Open L?
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 allows 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, Despite the fact that it’s only a bit lower than 3G, it is very essential for some use cases including video conferencing or online gaming, and other live interactions.
The rise of VoLTE standard added another advantage to 4g network which is the ability to make phone calls and navigate the internet concurrently, with even better voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with ZTE Open L 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your ZTE Open L
A 4G band is a range of frequencies used by phone carriers. Why this matters to you? It matters because each mobile network operator uses different bands corresponding to the area. And not all phones support all 4G bands, so you should ensure that your ZTE Open L supports the bands provided in your area.
It’s hard to formalize 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 sectioned the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The ZTE Open L 4G enabled bands are:
3, 7, 8, 20;2, 4, 7, 17;.
