4G LTE (Long-Term Evolution): An advanced version of 4G providing high-speed mobile internet. Offers download speeds up to 100 Mbps – 1 Gbps (under ideal conditions). Latency: Around 30–50 milliseconds. Well-suited for streaming, video calls, and general mobile data use. Widely deployed and supported globally. 5G (Fifth Generation): The latest wireless communication technology, designed to be much faster and more efficient than 4G. Download speeds: Up to 10 Gbps (theoretical max). Latency: As low as 1 millisecond, enabling real-time applications. Supports massive device connectivity (IoT, smart cities). Offers three major modes: eMBB (enhanced Mobile Broadband) URLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication) mMTC (massive Machine-Type Communication) Key Differences: Feature 4G LTE 5G Speed Up to 1 Gbps Up to 10 Gbps Latency 30–50 ms As low as 1 ms Bandwidth Moderate Much higher Devices Supported Fewer Massive (IoT scale) Applications Video, browsing AR/VR, autonomous vehicles, IoT
