The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) developed the 3GPP Long-Term Evolution (LTE)
standard for wireless communications technology. It is regarded as an evolution of the Global System
for Mobile Communication (GSM), the Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS), and
other standards. It is also known as the 4G LTE. The competition among the carriers to support 4G LTE
networks has been very fierce as evidenced by TV commercials targeting smartphone users. Many
smartphones run on 3G networks.

a. Services and applications

a. Upload and download speeds
b. User perceptions
c. Backward compatibility
d. Service availability
