    over the past year, 4G technoloGies

    have made a lot of headlines not just

    in the telecom and business press, butalso in the mainstream. where does lte

    fit in?

    LTE is both a revolution and an evolution. Thats not

    just a sound bite. Instead, its an accurate description of

    where this technolog ts in.

    Heres an example: For carriers that currentl use
