Wireless……3G……..The Overpromise
3G was introduced in 2011 by AT&T and VerizonFirst effort streaming video and file transfer networkWas overhyped, overpromised, and quickly congestedData speeds of 1-5 meg down and 500k-1mb upWildly varying signal quality and day to day performance swings.Did NOT support VoiP. But was marketed as doing so
Quick History of LTE
Introduced in 2014 by AT&T and VerizonStands for Long Term Evolution.Wireless network protocolBroadcasts from carrier towers, picked up by routers with wireless modemsModem turns wireless signal into usable internet connection
LTE replaced 3G and 3G+Overpromised functionality of 2011’s 3G was delivered by LTE
Performance Characteristics of LTE
Download: 15mb
Upload: 7mb
Latency: 100-120 mSecond
Coverage grew to 96% of US population
LTE was confined to the 700 MHZ frequency band only
LTE AdvancedAugust 2016 = Verizon launched LTE-Advanced; AT&T and T-Mobile launched similar services
LTE-Advanced:Bonded Frequency technology
Broadcasts on multiple wavelengths (700MHZ, 1900MHZ, 2400MHZ and others)
Focused on download speeds vs. upload
Multiple frequencies bonded to produce faster internet connection
Performance Characteristics of Bonded LTE
Download: 30-75mb
Upload: 10-12mb
Latency: 80-100 mSecond
Even faster without static IP
Router TechnologyWireless modem/router must have LP6 chipset installed to pick up additional frequencies
Routers manufactured before Q4 2016 will not have this chipset
Routers continue to be manufactured utilizing the LP4 chipset (cheaper and slower)
Broad Sky ONLY deploys LP6 chipset modems for customers (as of 2017)
LP6 chipset routers are future-proofed and will detect Bonded LTE signal as it becomes available
Availability
Verizon – published 461 cities where LTE-A is available; Major metro and population concentrations are where they have deployed
AT&T and T-Mobile also have Bonded LTE
Broad Sky can tower qualify any specific address for Bonded LTE coverage
