LTE is a mobile cellular technology originally introduced in the Scandinavian cities of Stockholm and Oslo in 2009. Since then, it has seen several enhancements and has been one of the most widely deployed technologies worldwide. As we enter the 5G era in many countries, LTE is expected to stay for a long time alongside …
Even though the IMEI number has been a vital part of mobile equipment as a device identifier, the interest in IMEI has grown over time, especially as smartphones became more popular. Thanks to the iOS and Android platforms, it has become a lot easier than before to find device information, including IMEI numbers. IMEI is …
The 5G mobile networks are now active in many countries, and as you expect with any new technology, a lot has already been written on the topic. But when I, as an internet user, read some of the articles, I find many unsubstantiated claims about the meaning of 5G, the average 5G speeds and even …
Mobile internet technology has reached a level of maturity where it is no longer a question of whether or not you can use it as broadband service. As soon as the 3G networks saw the HSPA and EVDO enhancements, mobile broadband service became a handy alternative, especially if you needed a broadband service for your …

4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) and 5G NR (New Radio) mobile networks employ a wide range of network technologies to improve data rates for end-user devices. The enhancements are implemented at a network level and require updates to the devices so that they can benefit from the enhancements. However, these network improvements are backwards compatible …
The frequency of a radio wave is the number of wave cycles it generates in one second. It is calculated by dividing the velocity of the radio wave (speed of light, c =299 792 458 m/s) by wavelength (λ). Wavelength is the length of one full wave in metres. Mathematically, Frequency = f = c/λ. …

eMBB, mMTC and uRLLC are three key terminologies that we hear about in the context of the services that 5G networks enable. This is not something mobile operators promote to their consumer customers, but definitely something they may promote to their business customers as 5G networks mature. If you are familiar with these terminologies, you …
As 5G mobile network deployments gain traction worldwide, it is important to look at some of the core values 5G networks offer to the customers that set them apart from the earlier mobile network technologies. Network slicing is based on network virtualisation principles, and it belongs to the same league as software-defined networks (SDN) and …
Mobile telecommunication, mobile telecom, mobile communications, and cellular communications are some of the terminologies used for referring to the communication that occurs through our smartphones when connected to a mobile network. However, it is good to note that not all communication through our smartphones is mobile communication. There are, of course, cases when we are …
