LTE Wireless WAN

Connect More. Wire Less.

Gigabit-class LTE is best described as a second-generation 4G. It brings together multiple 4G spectrum bands which means faster speeds for category 6 and higher devices when in an LTE area, and double the bandwidth of standard 4G.

Not only does LTE share a dual connection with 5G, but it is a significant performance improvement over standard 4G.

Because of this and the fact that it is already in place in many regions across Australia while the 5G network is still deploying, a 4G LTE wireless WAN will be the future-proofed pathway to 5G for many of organisations.

In Australia, Telstra has branded its 4G LTE product as 4GX, while Optus refers to 4G+.

Why LTE ?

The world is going wireless.

Everything that can go wireless, will go wireless.

Businesses and public sector organisations rely on WANs to keep sites connected to enterprise applications vital for everyday operations.

In a constantly changing environment, we need agility and mobility which can not be realised with traditional T1, T3, and MPLS services that are often too rigid and costly to adapt to our changing needs.

So, it is no great surprise that LTE as the pathway to 5G has become a dominant WAN connectivity option.

LTE is the pathway to 5G

Waiting until the 5G network is fully deployed before acting shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of 5G technology.

Unlike 4G, the activation of 5G is not a case of ‘flipping the switch’.

5G is a mash up of enhanced technologies, new spectrum, and advanced infrastructure. Although all these elements work together, they will roll out in different ways and at different times.

5G is more of a pathway than an event, and that pathway has two lanes – LTE and 5G.

MobileCorp and Cradlepoint set the pace with LTE Wireless WAN

LTE significantly expands how wireless broadband can be used to connect fixed locations, temporary sites, connected vehicles, and IoT.

MobileCorp utilises Cradlepoint edge solutions with dual connectivity solutions that support both an LTE and 5G connection at the same time, allowing both connections to pass traffic simultaneously and ensure seamless connectivity as 5G continues to build out.
