7. Increased QAM allows more data (bits) to flow through
available spectrum.
256 QAM16 QAM
More data transported in less space
ADVANTAGES: 256 QAM – Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
64 QAM
• Less network congestion
• Increased capacity
Gigabit LTE: How it Works
+ 33%+ 25%
8. Gigabit LTE: How it Works
With Gigabit LTE, four or more
LTE carrier bands
are aggregated together to
provide the higher peak data rate.
ADVANTAGES: Carrier Aggregation
- Less network congestion
- Faster speeds
