LTE Practice Exam

About LTE
LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the project name given to development of a high performance air interface for cellular mobile communication systems. It is the last step toward the 4th generation (4G) of radio technologies designed to increase the capacity and speed of mobile telephone networks. While the former generation of mobile telecommunication networks are collectively known as 2G or 3G, LTE is marketed as 4G.

LTE stands for Long Term Evolution and is a registered trademark owned by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) for the wireless data communications technology and a development of the GSM/UMTS standards. However, other nations and companies do play an active role in the LTE project. The goal of LTE was to increase the capacity and speed of wireless data networks using new DSP (digital signal processing) techniques and modulations that were developed around the turn of the millennium. A further goal was the redesign and simplification of the network architecture to an IP-based system with significantly reduced transfer latency compared with the 3G architecture. The LTE wireless interface is incompatible with 2G and 3G networks, so that it must be operated on a separate radio spectrum.

Why is LTE important?

Compared with previous mobile network technologies, 4G LTE offers much higher bandwidth (speed of data transfer), lower latency (faster response times from the network) and improved spectrum efficiency (increasing overall network capacity).

Benefits of LTE are
•    Increased sales and improved customer service
•    Improvements in products and services
•    Productivity gains
•    Direct cost reductions
•    Improved employee motivation
•    Improved flexibility, agility and decisionmaking

Who should take the LTE Exam?
•    Telecommunication professionals
•    Telco or Electronics Engineers
•    Anyone who wants to assess their Telecommunication skills
•    Telecommunication managers and senior executives
