Technology Overview
Commercial LTE networks have been launched worldwide, starting with the first network in Sweden in December 2009. 3GPP Release 9 features added further enhancements to LTE. The 3GPP candidate technology submission for
IMT-Advanced, developed as LTE Release 10 and beyond, has
been accepted as a 4G technology. Known as LTE-Advanced,
it complies with or exceeds the ITU established criteria in all
aspects.
