> LTE (Long Term Evolution), also known as "3.9G"[1] [2] is the trademarked project name of a high performance air interface for cellular mobile telephony. It is a project of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), operating under a name trademarked by one of the associations within the partnership, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute.
> 
> The current generation of mobile telecommunication networks are collectively known as 3G (for "third generation"). Although LTE is often marketed as 4G, LTE is actually a 3.9G technology. LTE does not fully comply with the IMT Advanced 4G requirements. The pre-4G standard is a step towards LTE Advanced, a 4th generation standard (4G)[3] of radio technologies designed to increase the capacity and speed of mobile telephone networks.
> 
> Verizon Wireless and AT&T Mobility in the United States and several worldwide carriers announced plans, beginning in 2009, to convert their networks to LTE. The world's first publicly available LTE-service was opened by TeliaSonera in the two Scandinavian capitals Stockholm and Oslo on the 14th of December 2009. LTE is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) which was introduced in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 8. Much of 3GPP Release 8 focuses on adopting 4G mobile communications technology, including an all-IP flat networking architecture. On August 18, 2009, the European Commission announced it will invest a total of €18 million into researching the deployment of LTE and 4G candidate system LTE Advanced.[4]
> 
> While it is commonly seen as a mobile telephone or common carrier development, LTE is also endorsed by public safety agencies in the US[5] as the preferred technology for the new 700 MHz public-safety radio band. Agencies in some areas have filed for waivers[6] hoping to use the 700 MHz[7] spectrum with other technologies in advance of the adoption of a nationwide standard.
