A new look for LteWorld

in Blog

Today we have given a new look to LteWorld which will allow users to post their blogs and and use forums easily.

  • It has become a tradition to expect a new iPhone model released around autumn, and Apple did not disappoint their fans in 2021.

    The iPhone 13 was announced on September 14, 2021, and released on September 24, 2021.

  • 5G technology is the newest technology in the telecommunications field. It has been established in 2019 and it is awaiting widespread distribution all around the world. Being the fifth generation technology, it is thought to replace 4G technology in the near future.

  • While many are excited about 5G’s potential for the future of communications, manufacturing, logistics, and other vertical sectors, it’s not clear who will be covering the less fun part of its deployment, integration and development - the expenses. 

  • Earlier this week 3GPP held RAN#86 to discuss and finalize further technology evolution of 5G NR radio. 3GPP has now approved a list of features and detailed functionality that will be part of Release-17.

  • LTE subscriber base now accounts for 44% of all mobile subscriptions worldwide and is expected to keep growing until 2022. Based on the latest GSA data, there were 3.74B LTE connections globally at the end of September 2018 in comparison to 2.77B  connections a year earlier. LTE subscriptions are expected to reach 5.96B by 2022 end. 

  • In last few years, Internet of Things (IoT) standards have evolved considerably to provide seamless convergence of the digital and the physical world. IoT allows applications, machines connected to the network to communicate among them or with servers without human intervention.

  • The explosive growth of data-driven service has been the main driver for 3GPP evolutions in recent years.  5G is expected to provide considerably more flexibility for customization compared to earlier generations. New deployments are expected to serve huge amounts of mobile data traffic, thus requiring very efficient user plane path management.

  • India is known to have the second largest population in the world at 1.3 billion but it also has the second largest number of mobile subscriptions in the world.
