Hi guys,

You have to trust me;LTE is a 3G technology and not 4G...ITU states that a system must provide 1Gb/s download low mobility speed to be considered as a 4G technology but it's just a marketing issue when vendors try to represent LTE as a 4Gtechnology..

"On December 6, 2010, ITU-R recognized that these two technologies ( Mobile WiMAX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_WiMAX) and LTE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Term_Evolution)), as well as other beyond-3G technologies that do not fulfill the IMT-Advanced requirements, could nevertheless be considered "4G", provided they represent forerunners to IMT-Advanced compliant versions and "a substantial level of improvement in performance and capabilities with respect to the initial third generation systems now deployed"
