LG V20 to take advantage of Verizon's LTE Advanced network, T-Mobile not impressed
The LG V20 is now official and Verizon wasted
no time adding it to the 39 phones and tablets that support its LTE Advanced
network. The service uses carrier aggregation allowing for a speed boost of up
to 50% in 461 cities across the US.
While LTE Advanced moniker does sound cool,
T-Mobile was quick to criticize it. The company's CTO Neville Ray commented by
saying: "Really? LTE Advanced? That same technology has been available to
T-Mobile customers since 2014."
He also boasted T-Mobile's LTE network with
its 4x4 MIMO feature, thanks to which the carrier trumps Verizon's max data
speeds.
An LTE Advanced network infrastructure
encompasses the simultaneous integration of VoLTE, MIMO and carrier
aggergation. T-Mobile's network solution, which includes 4x4 MIMO tech, means
that customers can count on double the number of data paths between a cell site
and their device. This translates to up to double the data speed.
