It allows operators to provide users a bigger range of the latest services, as it gets bigger network capacity via heightened spectral efficiency.

Whereas 4G technology which was started within cable television industry in 2009 which make users to explore new downloading speeds and capabilities. The utilization of LTE mobile broadband technology is an opportunity for the corporation to expand its horizons into 4G territory, upstaging current 3G capabilities.
